At first it may seem random, but it is not. The age on her exterior represents how she feels on the inside. She started out as an old lady because her life was dull and hopeless. But when she found Howl, she felt alive and young again.
Trust me you will not regret watching this film. My favourite anime film of all time. love love love the characters. Brings back so much nostalgia. <3
I don't know why I waited so long to watch this movie. This is definately a classic and masterpiece. Every person needs to see this visually stunning Ghibli movie. To be honest this has become my number one favorite animated movies of all time. Actuallly just one of my all time favorite movies. I personally think it's the best Studio Ghibli movie too. The characters and the story line just make your heart warmer than Calcifer (I'm cheesy and ugly sorry). I will watch this movie over and over again until the day I die. Also SOPHIE AND HOWL are my OTP. I love the minor characters as well except the witch of the waste or grandma I want to murder her. Best movie.
The plot is so much better in the book!
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time and the torment of a young girl being cursed by a witch's bad judgment and falling in love with the real guilty party.
