Howl's Moving Castle
When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking castle.
When we saw this movie, we had great expectations about it, and definitely, those expectations were fulfilled. This is a beautiful story that talks about confidence, friendship, loyalty and most importantly, self-love.
One of the most remarkable features about the movie is undoubtedly the animations, keeping this creative style from Ghibli Studio, which shows lovely landscapes, well built characters, but the most impressive is the moving castle, the way it’s built, and the way it changes throughout the movie is magnificent.
The character development that we get to see from both protagonists is a key part in the movie, and it leaves a lovely teaching lesson that no one should miss. This movie is something else, it can be easily enjoyed and it keeps you interested the whole time.
