By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I have loved all the Hayao Miyazaki's movies I have seen. And this one is no exception. The characters are so compelling, even though the story is so fantastical, you can actually relate to them. The story is also beautiful and you can see the growth in the characters as is progresses. I do really recommend it to everyone who wants to experience something magical and amazing.

This is one of the best animation that I have ever seen. Of course, the other ones are also directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I was tired to watch animations with the same plot and the same action, until I found this one. This is a masterpiece. The script is original and the story is one of a kind. I can watch this one over and over again.

I really appreciate Miyazaki's story-telling and the unique perspective he brings to the world of children's films, and Howl's Castle is no exception. Although it is based on a book (which I have not read), Miyazaki really makes the story his own. The world he crafts and the story he weaves are so amazingly detailed and interesting that I was truly spellbound for most of the film. Unfortunately, the ending does not live up to the promise of the film and is somewhat unsatisfying, which is the only reason I could not rate this as a 10. However, it is still worth seeing. As is typical with Miyazaki, he successfully relates the conflict and ambiguity of the world around us in an engaging way, without resorting to the Western ideals of good and evil. His characters really embody the concepts of yin/yang and wabi-sabi. Nothing and no one is completely good or completely evil and nothing is really as it may seem. I think these are concepts that all children (and adults) should be introduced to and I can't think of a better way than through a tale told by Miyazaki.
