From the legendary Studio Ghibli, creators of Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, comes the Academy Award®–nominated fantasy adventure for the whole family.

Sophie (Emily Mortimer) leads an uneventful life at her father’s hat shop, but all that changes when she is literally swept off her feet by a handsome but mysterious wizard named Howl (Christian Bale). Jealous of their friendship, the vain and vengeful Witch of the Waste (Lauren Bacall) curses young Sophie, turning her into a 90-year-old woman. On a quest to break the spell, Sophie climbs aboard Howl’s magnificent moving castle and into a new life of wonder and adventure. But as the true power of Howl’s wizardry is revealed, Sophie finds herself fighting a dangerous war of sorcery that threatens their world.

Howl’s Moving Castle will delight children with its fantastical story and touch hearts and minds of all ages. Featuring the voice talents of Lauren Bacall, Christian Bale, Billy Crystal, Blythe Danner, Emily Mortimer, and Jean Simmons.
