HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE (Hayao Miyazaki, 2004)

Event information

Stow Kids' Film Lounge

When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking home.

A love story between an 18-year-old girl named Sophie, cursed by the Witch of the Waste into an old woman's body, and a magician named Howl. Under the curse, Sophie sets out to seek her fortune, which takes her to Howl's strange moving castle. In the castle, Sophie meets a fire demon, named Calcifer. Seeing that she is under a curse, the demon makes a deal with Sophie - if she breaks the contract he is under with Howl, then Calcifer will lift the curse that Sophie is under, and she will return to her 18-year-old shape.

Hayao Miyazaki, the Japanese animation director who wowed audiences worldwide with his award-winning film Spirited Away, brings another visually spectacular tale of imagination to the screen.
