Howl's Moving Castle is a British-American animated fantasy film directed by Hayao Miyazaki, produced by Studio Ghibli, and released in 2004. Howl’s Moving Castle was the last film made before Miyazaki retired from directing to focus on his production company, Studio Ghibli. The plot follows a young girl, Sophie, whose life is turned upside down when she is transported to another world while searching for her father. Life's journey is one with things that we can't fully predict. One moment, we find ourselves all alone, in a world that seems so different to us and possibly even hostile. And then, our eyes are opened to what could be the best of all worlds. There's hope again!
