About this product

Product Information

Acclaimed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki adapts British writer Diana Wynne Jones's popular fantasy tale for this animated feature, adding his own unique and celebrated dreamlike spin. The dreaded Witch of the Waste turns Sophie, a young hat-maker, into an old woman when she attracts the notice of Howl, a young wizard whom the witch desires for herself. As the old woman, Sophie finds refuge as a cleaning lady in Howl's magical castle, an impressively realised mishmash of anthropomorphic shafts and gears, where she meets, among other wonders, a cantankerous fire demon named Calcifer. Howl's courage inspires her to seek a cure for her curse, and vice versa, and the two work together to prevent a major war as the castle roams the countryside on its mechanical legs. There's lots of magic afoot as well, including travel through barriers of space and time, and shape-shifting, requiring full viewer attention to keep track of who, where, and when, but this how dreams really are and the film engages on that same subconscious level. As with Miyazaki's previous work ('Spirited Away', 'Kiki's Delivery Service'), the emphasis here is on creating a beautiful alternate reality, where anything can happen and every frame is a breathtaking work of art.

    Engaging and quirky Anime flick.

    I really liked this movie. It reminded me of 'Spirited away', which is a favourite of mine, I wasn't surprised to find it was the same director. It features an assortment of random , oddball, somewhat surreal characters(some likeable/some not) who I found to be engaging and at times, disturbing. It is not quite as appealing as Spirited away, but is a fairly decent animated fantasy film.

    One of my all time faves!

    I loved the book by Diana Wynn Jones as a child and was eager to watch this afaptation. It is fairly faithful to it's original source but has a delightful Japanese flavour to it. Howl is everything I wanted him to be and Sophie's develops as she does in the novel - from a shy shadow into an independent and powerful woman!
