Me LOVE studio ghibli!

4 stars

15 Jun 2018

I liked this film because it was made by studio Ghibli and other stuff. So the story is there’s a girl called Sophie and she got cursed by a witch called The witch of the waste NOT the witch of the WEST. Don’t get confused! She goes on a journey to break the spell. And she meets a well fit man called howl. For some reason I don’t know why I call him fowl. I didn’t really understand the film because to me I thought that they were going to break the spell but nevermind. It looks really anime to me and also there was a war going on in the film which effected howl A LOT. I don’t like the movies name Howls “ moving castle” because 1. The name moving castle doesn’t look like a castle to me instead it looks like a bunch of stuff put into one then add the legs and a head at the bottom which kinda makes it look like an animal or a frog. My favorite character was Howl because he was really sweet,nice and charming! My favorite part was when the witch and Sophie has to get up like a MILLION stairs to get to the entrance and when they got there their expressions were really funny! GIVE THIS A FOUR!!!
