Howl's Moving Castle

This magical anime movie was also made by Hayao Miyazaki. Its main stars are Sophie and Howl obviously. Sophie is the owner of her deceased father's hat shop and she does nothing but work. She has very low self-esteem and doesn't consider herself pretty for some reason and I think that's the main reason why she doesn't hang out with friends or do anything else but work.Also, I don't think watching her beautiful and popular sister have fun and getting asked out on a regular basis is helping much.

One day, Sophie bumps into Howl in an alleyway and ends up getting chased by blob monsters.Howl, being the gentleman/playboy that he is escorts her back to safety.Sophie didn't know who he was until later and Howl seems to have a very cruel reputation for seducing women and stealing their hearts, literally.Not only that but the master of the blob monsters that were chasing her earlier were from the Witch of the Waste. She's this powerful and very fat witch that has been chasing down Howl for quite a while.She then takes some of her frustration out on poor Sophie by turning her into an old lady.After, being turned into an old woman, she surprisingly adapts to her new age quickly and decides to leave her life behind and travel.Its after that she discovers Howl's moving castle.

We discover later that her new form has a bit of a twist to it. The reason why Sophie looks like an old lady is because she feels like one or she feels bad about herself but when she feels good or young then she gets younger, so all she has to do is stay happy.This spell can also tell people how she's really feeling.I also liked Howl's spoiled and bratty personality. He would act like he knew everything but when it came to his personal affairs then he would act just like a child, it made me laugh but it made poor grandma Sophie cry.

I thought it was really cute how they made everyone become one happy family. I also liked all of Howl's battles with demons, sorcerers, witches, etc and also seeing Howl's own transformation but I don't want to give too much, if you've haven't seen it yet.But, I will tell you that a lot goes on in this movie and you'll be loving the adventure these two go through together (even though its kind of Howl's fault that she's in the mess that she's in).

I seriously doubt that anyone could dislike this movie and I hope you all enjoy this magical adventure.

Thanks for Reading!
