review of Howl's Moving Castle

I really liked Howl's Moving Castle, and I really should spend as much time reviewing it as Batman and Starwars, but I'm not going to. Great message, great animation, another surrealistic jewel of a film by Hayao Miyazaki (a follow up to his Academy Award-winning Spirited Away). I like the cut of his celluloid jib, especially his slightly cracked fun house mirror view of the imaginative world. What else is there to say? Go see it, on the big screen.

The official website is not as flashy as the Batman site, but a lot more helpful. Though the calliope-ish music gets repetitious real quick. (And what does the web designer have against italics?)
