Audience Member There are those who may view this film cynically and demand an answer for every magical wonder, or may wish for a more high-stakes plot to keep them engaged. For some, the film may not catch that childhood wonder that it captured in me. I feel sorry for them, but I hope some day they may rediscover the magic that this film creates, both in its world, its musical score, and its characters.

Breathtakingly beautiful animation and great characters. The soundtrack is terrific as well. Watching this movie brings me nostalgia for my childhood. I seriously cannot think of a single bad thing about it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Regina P I'm mainly rating it so high because my son loved it. I had issues with the ending. Overall, the movie was gorgeous to behold, and I enjoyed the humor. I cackled a few times throughout the movie. But the ending did lose me a bit. I'm not sure where I got lost, but I definitely got lost. I wish it had walked me through the resolution a little better... but I think this is a great candidate for a live action rendition... with a more articulated and hitting resolution. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Blu B A Classic Fantasy Anime. The visuals are just stunningly beautiful, imaginative, and highly original. Everything you'd expect given the director. The score matches and is so sweeping, heartwarming, and beautiful. The original characters, cool scenes, and just super memorable visuals never stop the entire runtime and make for a perfectly paced thrill ride that makes you feel like a little kid watching your favorite bedtime imgainaton in action. Everything else is really well done. Only reason I have trouble falling in love with it like everyone else despite just how darn good it is, is Sophie's story of breaking the spell, Howl's cures, and the war, while very interesting and well done feels a bit too much for me. Especially when it tries fitting in the war aspect. I feel like this would've done more for me if it would just focused more on Sophie and Howl in a more intimate fashion. Granted it does that but it feels like especially Sophie's curse gets forgotten about at times. I honestly am not sure how it was even broken. That might just be me missing something but everything else I got and really liked. Anyone who is a fan of anime, the director, or any voice actors in this will like this a lot. Really moving.
