Twenty-first. Howl's Moving Castle by Hayao Miyazaki (2004)

Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
Director: Hayao Miyazaki

"What he (Hayao Mizayaki) creates is not a kiddie movie that appeals to adults, but an adult movie that appeals to kids; that said, it requires a certain suspension of disbelief – not conceptual, but conventional – to be able to endure the many twists and turns, most of which go unexplained, that Miyazaki presents his audience."

- Todd Gilchrist

I absolutely loved the film. Just like any of Hayao Miyazaki's films, his imagination and fantasy like animation never failed to impress and captured my heart. It's so beautiful, and for whichever reasons, it makes me tear every time I watch and re-watch his films. These are my favourite parts in Howl's Moving Castle.

Hmmm! I've got to stay calm...


I move the castle!


Sophie's kindness


You can come here whenever you want, Sophie


We can't let those bombs kill anyone anymore.


You're so warm and fluttery like a butterfly, Calsifur


Wow Sophie, your hair looks just like starlight. It's beautiful...
