COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Absolutely beautiful! submitted by Kikumatsu97 on August 24, 2014, 3:40pm The Book is apparently awesome, I doubt if there could have been a better reperentation of it. I will be reading the book as well. But this is just such a great "fantaspsychology" movie.

Strange adaptation submitted by willow on July 9, 2016, 4:57pm The animation is absolutely gorgeous, especially in things like water and buildings, but the difference in plot between the book and the movie were so vast as to be puzzling.

Amazing Movie submitted by A.S.D.2003 on June 30, 2018, 10:59pm My family and I have loved this movie and watched it countless times. Even if I have read the book, I do not remember it, however I do know it is at least as good as the movie, if not better.

Another favorite of my anime club submitted by Xris on July 6, 2018, 5:58pm I've shown it at least two times to them. :)

Am@zinG submitted by Zaneeba on July 7, 2018, 11:59am this was a good film

Beautiful! submitted by dragon_rider13 on July 28, 2018, 7:25pm This movie is a very pretty movie and is one of my favorite Ghibli films

Hmm submitted by anacoluthon on August 1, 2018, 5:55pm Beautifully animated, but a poor adaption of Diana Wynne Jones' novel.

Howl's Moving Castle submitted by lstorc on August 6, 2018, 4:10am Well the animation was good, it felt vastly short of the original book.

Not Like the Book submitted by majean on August 17, 2018, 1:31pm I enjoyed this as its own entity and tried not to compare it to the book too much.

Interesting and entertaining submitted by blancharddana on June 21, 2022, 2:49pm Good lesson about aging and how we treat people based on appearance.

My favorite Ghibli submitted by Abbie D. on July 9, 2022, 2:37pm Even if you're not in to anime I would highly recommend this one. It's very good!

Favorite submitted by lilili on July 7, 2023, 11:29am I love Howls Moving Castle by Studio Ghibli, favorite Studio Ghibli movie.

Ghibli Magic submitted by pjaynes on July 25, 2023, 5:50pm First of all, yes, this film is different from the book in a lot of ways, so it's best to view it as separate from the book. However, I think people who read Diana Wynne Jones' novel first will still really enjoy this movie. Seeing Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's beautiful interpretation and animation of the world (and the moving castle alone!) is well worth it. The whole film is magical and charming, and I particularly love the found family aspect of the film.
