Howl's Moving Castle
With its otherworldly beauty and charm Miyazaki's magical tale of adventure and self-discovery is testament to his limiltiless imagination. 18-year-old Sophie finds herself the victim of magic and mystery and must now lift a curse that has been placed on her. She finds refuge with a handsome young wizard and travels with him in his fantastic mobile home, to undo the evil done to her and, as it turns out, to save the world. An epic, compelling and sweet animated fairytale from an undisputed master of the genre.
