HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE
Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki (SPIRITED AWAY, PONYO) enhances his legendary reputation as one of the world’s most visionary filmmakers with this amazing new animated adventure brimming with imagination, humor, action and romance.

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, and is
subsequently turned into a 90-year old woman by the vain and convincing Wicked Witch of the Waste. Embarking on an incredible odyssey 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. Sophie’s love and support comes to have a major impact on Howl, who flies in the face of orders from the palace to become a pawn of war and instead risks his life to help bring peace to the kingdom.

Extraordinary characters, inventive imagery, and stunning artistry make this masterpiece from Miyazaki an unforgettable film going experience.
