Howl’s Moving Castle (Special Edition)
Howl’s Moving Castle (Hauru no Ugoku Shiro) is a 2004 Japanese animated family fantasy film scripted and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, animated by Studio Ghibli.
Sophie, an average teenage girl working in a hat shop, finds her life thrown into turmoil when she is literally swept off her feet by a handsome but mysterious wizard named Howl. After this chance meeting she is turned into a 90-year old woman by the vain and conniving Witch of the Waste. Embarking on an incredible adventure to lift the curse, she finds refuge in Howl’s magical moving castle where she becomes acquainted with Markl, Howl’s apprentice, and a hot-headed fire demon named Calcifer.
As the true power of Howl’s wizardry is revealed, and his relationship with Sophie deepens, our young grey heroine finds herself fighting to protect them both from a dangerous war of sorcery that threatens their world.
From the Studio Ghibli Collection.

Member"Anime either works for me or it doesn't. This take on Howl's Moving Castle works so well. It has great animation and voice acting (all too often the downfall of an otherwise good animation) and the story flows along so smoothly...It probably won't appeal to all audiences - I think you have to have a certain bent towards anime to start with - but it works as well for children as it does for adults, albeit maybe at different levels."
"Brought as a Xmas present for teenage daughter."
"This was a wonderful collector's item. I will forever cherish this, and at such a great price...."
"I love the book and I love this movie. Some things have been changed for the movie, but it's still a great story. Hayao Miyazaki didn't make random changes, he made it a story that was better suited to a visual medium."
"An excellent story, I've loved it for ages!"
