Miyazaki -- Awesome Director

When looking at films I love, I find often they have the same director. Such is the case with Howl's Castle, Spirited Away and others I haven't seen yet. He is called the Japanese Walt Disney but I have to disagree. Disney was never as lyrical.

Howl's Castle

I have finally seen the beginning of Howl's Castle. Wow. Ten minutes makes a huge difference in the wonderful film. I am even more in love with it. The premise is how does a plucky young girl cursed by the Witch of the West into instant old age conquer her fear of being ugly. And best of all, she has a young wizard fall in love with her. It is marvelous. Here is link. Enjoy for yourself. http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/howl/ I especially love the music both in the songs and in the background. It is just a fantastic movie.
