Rating - A good movie
The movie was great! There were behind the scenes of the actors for the characters that added to my curiosity of who they were. Both the Japanese version and the English versions were practically the same, with mouthing of the words matching the timing of the actual words spoken. This a great movie with a great ending that makes you want to watch it again and again.
Rating - Very spirited
I'm happy to see that disneys animation has changed over the years and films like these project to the younger and older crowd like myself.
Rating - Delightful and interesting
I have to agree with the one reviewer that the book is better but the adaptation from the book to the movie is tasteful and enjoyable. Without reading the book, you have to pay attention to subtle comments by non-specific characters to determine Howl's perceived personality within Market Chipping and the reason the two cities are at war. My seven year old daughter is in love with the movie and we now own a fish named "Calcifer".
Rating - Best Ever!
I cannot rate this film high enough; it is my absolute favorite move of all time! The story of Howl and Sophie is magical, delightful, and inspiring in every sense of the word. Sophie is my particular favorite; her unfailing cheerfulness and determination never ceases to warm my heart. She faces like with a spunk that is only more clearly seen after she is given the curse, aka the freedom, of old age. Her tongue is sharp, and her intelligence sharper as she somehow manages to bully fire demons, take charge of a magic castle, and make a whiny wizard become the truly great man that he is destined to be. That's a woman, my friends.
As for Howl, Christan Bayle does an absolutely phenomenal job giving him a voice, and despite all of Howl's imperfections, makes you love him anyway. You cheer as you watch Howl progress from a timid and lethargic wizard who is unable to see past the outside of people into a man taht doens't care just how old Sophie looks or just how much trouble he'll get into to enter a war; he does it anyway, because it's simply the right thing to do. A true masterpiece, in every sense of the word.
