Miyazaki's 2004 epic is not quite up to the standards of his best work. However is succeeds at being unquestionably gorgeous to behold. Enough to make up for the uneven story and themes.

Miyazaki dives into his running theme of war to push this plot along. Something about inner-beauty shining through is the key take away from a humanity standpoint. But Turniphead was the real winning takeaway for mine. If anyone saw the english version, Christian Bale comes across as a legitimately creepy choice for Howl. We do get to hear an early version of the Dark Knight voice during one scene however.

My favourite animated film of all time. A masterpiece. I had named my teddy bear Calcifer and had the biggest crush on Howl. I probably have watched this film about 50 times in the span of 20 years. Better than the book, which is very rare. The very best. I don't know enough adjectives to define how great this movie is. My favourite movie of all times.

I want to love this movie but it just falls flat for me compared to Miyazaki's other works. The war plot isn't particularly well done and honestly makes Howl a rather uninteresting character, which makes Sophie's love for him even stranger as she hardly interacts with him at all. This also happens to be one of Hisaishi's weaker soundtracks which relies heavily on one repeating theme and it all just leaves me disappointed. Still an interesting movie, but it could've been much more.

The way this movie starts, it might be a Disney fairy tale: an evil witch, a transformation spell, a good-looking prince, a precocious kid, a funny monster sidekick. But then gradually a war breaks out, the evil witch gets adopted into the protagonist's makeshift family and the movie turns into something else. Beautifully animated.
