There is something about this movie, which I found very attractive, was it the crazy idea of a moving castle, was it the elixir of fantasy and spells, was it the background score, was it the romance involved, am not still sure, .........may be a mix of all of these.Based on Diana Wynne Jones's novel by the same name, Howl's Castle is a Japanese Animation movie made by Hayao Miyazaki.
The movie tells the story of a girl named Sophy, who is a very serious girl unlike other girls of her age, and who under the spell of Witch of Waste, becomes an old woman. The journey she undertakes to regain her youth forms the crux of the story. Howl is a young Wizard, who is the hero of this story. He sounds very batmanish as Christian Bale voiced this character.
Although I feel the story as told in the book makes more sense, but perhaps the story would have become cumbersome and complicated when seen in the limited time frame of a movie. Nevertheless, still worth a watch.
