Film 118/365, Day 127/365 – Howl’s Moving Castle

A magical heart warming tale.  Yet another fantastic animated film from the legendary director Hayao Miyazaki.  The animation is excellent and the world in which Howl’s Moving Castle takes place is outstanding.  If you’ve never seen anything from Studio Ghibli then this is a great place to start, if however you have seen some then you will need no convincing to see this.  Great film.

Synopsis:  A young girl who meets a powerful wizard in a chance encounter is cursed by a rival witch.  The curse turns her into an old lady who cannot reveal that she has been cursed.  In an attempt to reverse the curse she goes in search of the wizard to see if he can help her but unable to tell anyone about the curse she ends up becoming his cleaner and ends up changing everyone’s lives forever.
