Anyone heard of the newest release from Miyazaki, Howl's Moving Castle? I have tons of friends who are already obsessed with it, gathered info and all the fangirlyness. Its been previewed in Japan, and my friend told me its been previewed in Hong Kong already. I've already picked up the original book Miyazaki has taken the idea from -- Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Anyone know more information, or maybe going to be interested watching it when its licensed?

I can't wait till it gets to Canada. I'm a big fan of Miyazaki's works, and I can't wait!

I read the book a couple of years ago, and it was so awesome, truly a magnificent book, cant wait till it comes out dubbed/subbed for DVD. ^^

Okay, this movie is about a woman who gets into a curse by a witch. In order to make herself young again, she goes on a journey to go to Howl. That's the best I can give you withought spoilers. Of course, I posted the trailer, so I hope that helps too ^^

I've seen the movie. The story was a little confusing when I saw it the first time. But I really like it especially howl and sofie. I also like Takuya Kimura's voice. Then I went to buy the book and discovered that the movie's storyline was quite different from the book.

fisah · « **Reply #11 on:** May 02 2005, 02:27 pm »

Yup, there's always changes to adaptions. I for one am waiting for the movie when it comes in Canada.

How did you watch it pinklacus, is it out on dvd, I'm pretty sure it isn't, but I could be wrong

I've heard a lot of good things about this movie, and if Miyazaki's doing it, then it's gotta be good! I love the original book....but exactly how much of the plot got chnaged for the actual movie? Does anyone know?

fisah · « **Reply #13 on:** May 02 2005, 02:33 pm »

I read the book, but I have yet to see the movie. I really want to see it though, but I'm not that worried by the changes, this is Miyazaki after all, the King of anime movies, so I think it will turn out just fine ^^

I think about 80 to 90% of the plot got changed for the movie.

Ruby Chan · « **Reply #17 on:** May 02 2005, 03:30 pm »

OMG! I'm not sure I wanna watch it then, unless it had the same ending...but then again, Miyazaki, is very good.....

Anyone have nay opinions of theirown which could help me out?

pinklacus · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02 2005, 03:45 pm »

The ending of the movie was almost the same as that of the book especially the last scene was quite romantic.

The movie focused on sofie's determination and courage to change her fate and break the curse. It also show how sofie influenced other people like howl and the witch.

The movie didn't talk much about sofie's sisters and howl's family.
