Plot Summary:
Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki ("Spirited Away") takes moviegoers on an amazing new animated adventure that celebrates the power of love to transform and the resiliency of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Brimming with a blend of imagination, humor, action, and romance, "Howl's Moving Castle" recently played to great acclaim at the 2004 Venice Film Festival, and has become one of the biggest blockbusters of all time in Japan. The film has already earned more than $200 million at the international box office.

A distinguished cast of actors, under the direction of Pixar's Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.") and Disney's Rick Dempsey, lend their vocal talents to this English-language version of the film. Sophie (voiced by Emily Mortimer), 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 (voiced by Christian Bale), and is subsequently turned into a 90-year old woman (voiced by screen legend and two-time Oscar nominee Jean Simmons) by the vain and conniving Wicked Witch of the Waste (voiced by screen legend and Oscar nominee Lauren Bacall). Embarking on an incredible odyssey 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 (voiced by Billy Crystal). Sophie's love and support comes to have a major impact on Howl, who flies in the face of orders from the palace to become a pawn of war and instead risks his life to help bring peace to the kingdom. Extraordinary characters, inventive imagery, and stunning artistry make this latest masterpiece from the visionary Miyazaki an unforgettable film going experience.

This is the same guy that did Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. I'm not sure if you know them, but they're most definately worth checking out.

Howl's looks amazing. i'm really impressed with how well they managed to do the dubbing.

These clips all look amazing. The animation in his films just looks so incredible compared to other movies. I'm looking forward to seeing this sometime in the next week.

Yeah, agreed. He is probably the most prolific animator of our time (definitely the only main stream one). He just brings something special to his movies with his animation...good stuff. Good find Lycidas.

Topnotch · 06-17-2005, 12:27 PM

I totally agree, one of the best animators of our time. I'm really looking forward to seeing it this weekend.
