But as the true power of Howl’s wizardry is revealed, Sophie finds herself fighting to protect them both from a dangerous war of sorcery that threatens their world.

shayNov 17, 2018when Howl had that overdramatic literal meltdown over the slight inconvenience of his hair going the wrong colour... I felt that
shannonJul 4, 2015I just want to note how this film's big, transformative kiss is between the main character and a turnip, and it has nothing to do with the central romance. That delighted me.

Emma StefanskyDec 4, 2020FUN MOVIE DETAIL! Near the end in a sequence where Sophie meets Howl in the past as a child, she says to him, "Find me in the future!" At the beginning of the film, when Howl first meets Sophie, he says, "I was looking everywhere for you." P.S. If you watched this and…

Emma lovedHowl's Moving CastleI could watch this on repeat all day, every day. Loved it! Also if you watched this movie and didn't have a crush on Howl after it was over, did you really watch it?
Kryyy lovedHowl's Moving CastleRewatched it in dub, oh god, changed my whole perspective. The story is about growth which I didn’t get first time I saw it in jap. The music, the visuals, the charming story. It’s beautiful. It feels like how a princess movie should be. The soundtrack is bomb af 9/10
Melody lovedHowl's Moving Castlea masterpiece. will watch 24/7, the soundtrack, the art, the plot, muah.

Ok but I was real confused,like in the end if she had broken the curse and turns out she did but they did not get rid of her grey hair. To break the curse all you needed was self confidence. The reason why it confused me was because she looked like her normal self when a grandma.
Jack Rooney lovedHowl's Moving CastleThis is one of my top movies of all time. I have owned it on DVD for as long as I can remember. It’s better than spirited away in my opinion, and I would go as far as to say it’s one of the greatest, if not THE greatest anime movie ever made
Melissa Ely lovedHowl's Moving CastleProbably my favorite studio ghibli movie! Such a cute movie with very beautiful animation. I loved that old man dog he was so funny. And the bedroom with all the jewels and trinkets was so pretty

JSjazmin silvaAlways feels like I’m watching it for the first time. Never fails to amaze me. Every single time I watch it, I find little details I haven’t seen before. Studio Ghibli movies will always have my heart.
PPPaul PinkneyThis movie has been one of my favorites for years. It was an amazing experience seeing it on the big screen. Fantastic!
Metacritic
Though it's difficult to work out what's going on, it's never boring.
Richard James Havis
The Hollywood Reporter
The perfect e-ticket for a flight of fancy into a world far more gorgeous than our own. The film doesn't halve itself to appeal to two generations. At its best, it turns all moviegoers into innocent kids, slack-jawed with wonder.
Richard Corliss
Time
The tireless volley of ideas and inventions make this a delight that should connect with kids and adults in both dubbed and original-language versions.
