Hayao Miyazaki's latest, Hauru no ugoku shiro (Howl's Moving Castle), is in limited release. I'm pondering going this afternoon. Thoughts?

It's still playing in San Diego. I gotta check it out.

Saw it a little more than a week ago here in NY. It's a great film, but the ending felt a little rushed. Still though, good times, pretty standard Miyazaki excellence.

Its worth the admission just to watch the opening shot of the castle walking out of the mist.

I have to say, I really like the way they handled the use of computers in the animation in this film. It was tasteful and effective and didn't look like a cheap shortcut the way it usually does, because it integrated so many hand drawn elements.

Great movie though the ending was just bad.

I just saw that this is finally in my area. Now all I have to do is find someone that actually wants to see it. I really don't wanna go to the theatre all by mysellf.

The Triplets of Belleville is another animated movie that does that incredibly well.
