Howl's Moving Castle is a slow-paced movie, with very little action and suspense into it. It's all about love and friendship, making it a bit tacky.

The story revolves around Sophie, a hatter, trying to find a cure to the curse the Witch of the Waste, an abjected witch, casted upon her. While looking for answers, she ended up living in Howl's, a strong wizard, moving castle. It sums up to be entertaining, yet it can easily lose the viewer's attention.

The art employed for the surroundings is pretty nice, but the characters were drawn in a very light manner, lacking shadings and details.

The sound effects and the voice acting was very good; the music employed was acceptable as well, but it could've been better.

The character development is somewhat alright, though some of them remained unexplained. Most of the characters involved are based on anime standards, as well, so you might be able to predict some actions every now and then.

Overall, the movie is enjoyable, though a bit too long. I recommend to watch it whenever you have free time.
