Tonight I watched Howls Moving Castle again. I love that movie. The animations incredible, the plot is so thick, the list goes on. I could just go on talking about why I love them all but I just can't.
See for yourself
I found a user on youtube that downloaded the movies I've listed.

Heres Howls, if you watch it there are links to the rest of the movie. You should start with this one. I say if you like this one you will definitly like the other 2. Howls Moving Castle is about a young woman is cursed by this witch and turns into a 90 year old woman. Click on the link for more.

Next is Spirited Away. It won the Oscar a few years back and is a great piece of work. While moving to a new home in Japan, Chihiro and her parents take a wrong turn down a mysterious wooded path. They come across an ominous-looking tunnel of which only Chihiro is scared. Going through the tunnel, they are lead them to a mysterious town filled with restaurants that have all kinds of delicious food on display. Chihiro's parents quickly sit down and start gorging themselves, assuming they will pay the restaurant upon their return. Chihiro's doubt of this strange town leads her to wander off, and she comes across a building of titanic size, where a young boy warns her to leave before nightfall. However, as the sun sets, the town begins to fill up with the gods of Japan's mythology, and Chihiro returns to find her parents mysteriously turned into pigs. The young boy, Haku, works in the building, which is a bathhouse for 8 Million gods. He helps Chihiro find work in this new world, find a way to save her parents from a dinner platter, and find her way home.

Thats the description and heres part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjK7mcUs-vo

Finally we have Princess Monoke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa1GqJhKhO4
A prince is infected with an incurable disease by a possessed boar. He is to die unless he can find a cure to rid the curse from his body. It seems that his only hope is to travel to the far east.

When he arrives to get help from the deer god, he finds himself in the middle of a battle between the animal inhabitants of the forest and an iron mining town that is exploiting and killing the forest.

Leading the forest animals in the battle is a human raised by wolves, Princess Mononoke.

I highly recomend all three, they're all amazing. Very Happy

I loved Howl's Moving Castle! I thought the movie was great.
I just got the book out of the library and I plan to read it as soon as I'm done with the other book I'm reading.

You mean Howl's Moving Castle? I wouldn't be surprised if they changed stuff from the book, it's what film makers do. Sad

yeah the howl book. they changed stuff but the spirit of it stuck with it, and they changed things to good things, not stupid things. it also probably helped that I saw the movie first haha.

I've watched Princess Mononoke and it was awesome. What with the music and graphics and whatnot. I've seen The Cat Returns also. My friend has all the Hayao Myazaki movies so i'm in the process of watching them. Although, they are all awesome movies, i know it.
