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…

One of the most beautiful movies in terms of multiple aspects, the music, the scenery, and the animation takes you to another world. 🔥🔥😍

Rewatched 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

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.
This 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

Though it's difficult to work out what's going on, it's never boring.
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.
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.
