Howls Moving Castle
This movie has a 80% Approval Rating Based on 1 Reviews Read Reviews
Release Date: Friday, June 10th 2005,

A distinguished cast of actors, under the direction of Pixar’s Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc."), lend their vocal talents to this English-language version of the film. Sophie (voiced by Emily Mortimer), 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 (voiced by Christian Bale), and is subsequently turned into a 90-year old woman (voiced by screen legend and two-time Oscar® nominee Jean Simmons) by the vain and conniving Wicked Witch of the Waste (voiced by screen legend and Oscar® nominee Lauren Bacall).

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 (voiced by Billy Crystal). 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 latest masterpiece from the visionary Miyazaki an unforgettable filmgoing experience.

Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Cast: Chieko Baisho, Takuya Kimura, Akihiro Miwa, Tatsuya Gashuin, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Mitsunori Isaki, Yo Oizumi, Akio Ôtsuka, Daijiro Harada, Haruko Kato, David Cowgill, Billy Crystal, Moosie Drier, Ike Eisenmann, Crispin Freeman, Will Friedle, Richard Steven Horvitz, Josh Hutcherson, Christian Bale, Joel McCrary, Pete Renaday, Mark Silverman, Warren Sroka, Carlos Alazraqui, Newell Alexander, Mitch Carter, Bridget Hoffman, Sherry Hursey, Lauren Bacall, Hope Levy, Christina MacGregor, Julia Barnett, Jena Malone, Edie Mirman, Emily Mortimer, Liliana Mumy, Kristen Rutherford, Jean Simmons, Susan Blakeslee, Jane Alan, Rosemary Alexander, Leslie Carrara, Blythe Danner, Holly Dorff
