As a Ghibli film, there is already a guaranteed satisfaction for most viewers of their films. However this film is not entirely as perfect as its reputation gives it. Story wise, this was not one of Miyazaki's strongest films. While enjoyable and far from bad, the story does contain a few plot holes that are noticeable and can be considered not fully developed. However, for its lack of a solid plot it makes up for it with its characters. They allow the story to progress whilst adding bits of fun and variety of personalities to add depth to the film.

Art wise, its yet another truly breath-taking eyecandy film from Ghibli. Wonderful visuals stay with you throughout the film, and music is quite decent. Overall it is an enjoyable film, and to many of the younger AA members is most likely among one of the early anime in their experiences. Indeed this is a great anime for those seeking nostalgia from Ghibli or a nice way to kill 2 hours of their day ;)

The dub for this film was amazing, plus it had Christian Bale as Howl in it also

Yep, also found out that the guy who dubbed for Calcifer is the same guy who plays Mike Wazoski from Monsters, Inc. lol

I loved that movie as a child and still do to this day. The art, actually, most of their films have beautiful art work done. A beautiful movie indeed.
