From HAYAO MIYAZAKI, the creator of the Academy Award winning SPIRITED AWAY Sophie, an average teenage girl working in a hat shop, finds her life thrown into turmoil when she is literally swept off her feet by a handsome but mysterious wizard named Howl. After this chance meeting she is turned into a 90-year old woman by the vain and conniving Witch of the Waste. Embarking on an incredible adventure to lift the curse, she finds refuge in Howl's magical moving castle where she becomes acquainted with Markl, Howl's apprentice, and a hot-headed fire demon named Calcifer. As the true power of Howl’s wizardry is revealed, and his relationship with Sophie deepens, our young grey heroine finds herself fighting to protect them both from a dangerous war of sorcery that threatens their world.

[FOUR STARS] "...if you let yourself go, you?ll dive head first into a parallel world in which magic and nature work together. Miyazaki trusts that children will pick up on his complex ideas and accept them more readily than an adult audience. I think he brings real wisdom to the art of animation, something that Hollywood doesn?t have a hope of doing." Jaimie Leonarder, THE MOVIE SHOW SBS TV

[5 STARS] "Howl's Moving Castle is fantasy filmmaking as it should be"- EMPIRE

"Watch them on your own or with your family; Miyazaki's movies will take you to places you've seldom dreamed of." Melbourne Weekly

[FOUR STARS] "Miyazaki's vision is an extraordinary one, and HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE confirms his fascination for transformations, for dangerous journeys and strange adventures. The castle itself is an extraordinary creation, and the fact that this is old-fashioned, hand-drawn animation - no digital effects - makes the result even more wondrous... lovers of animation will have a field day with this strange and beautiful film." Margaret Pomeranz, AT THE MOVIES ABC TV
