Title: Howl's Moving Castle
Rating: PG
Overall Rating: Definate 5 out of 5!
Story: Sophie, a quiet 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. The vain and vengeful Witch of the Waste, jealous of their friendship, puts a spell on Sophie. In a lifechanging adventure, Sophie climbs aboard Howl's magnificent flying castle and enters a magical world on a quest to break the spell. [Copied from back of DVD]
My Critique: Oh. My. God. That is all I have to say.
Okay, not really. ^^ This movie was GREAT! I absolutely LOVE Hayao Miyazaki movies and, yes, this one is up there with Spirited Away on my list of favorites.
First off, the art is great. The voice acting in the english version was also awesome and the storyline couldn't get better. I could sit here and tell you all of the amazing things about this movie, but I want you to be able to see it yourself. GO RENT OR BUY IT!! I rented it, but once I get money, I'm buying it, along with Spirited Away. I could watch it over and over again.
It is, however, two hours long so save some time to watch it. Once I started, I never wanted to stop.
