Howl's Moving Castle

Some of you will remember that I raved about Spirited Away, a particularly wonderful piece of Studio Ghibli animation. Their latest project, coming to screens in Japan in November, is Howl's Moving Castle (link to Japanese), based on the book by Diana Wynne Jones. Given Jones' storytelling strength and Miyazaki's skill--Ghibli just keeps putting Disney to shame here--I can't wait to see how this one comes out.

A trailer can be viewed/downloaded here, while an English plot synopsis (and translation of the trailer) is here. When the film hits the screens in the U.S., I'll be sure to tell you here.

Spirited away was excellent, even though I had to watch it in Japanese with Dutch subtitles. Since my Dutch is probably at about 1st grade level it was nice to see how clear the visual presentation made everything :-)
Spirited Away was the last movie that my kids and I enjoyed to the same degree. A masterpiece.
