What a lovely review! Howl's Moving Castle is undoubtedly one of those Ghibli gems that never gets old. I completely agree with you: you can watch it a thousand times and it always gives you that warm and magical feeling, especially because of the wonderful soundtrack.

And well, Howl is a special case; his hair-dye drama always makes me laugh 😂, but it's very true that Sophie is the one who really teaches him to be brave. Thank you for this very thorough analysis; it's made me want to go see it again this weekend. Cheers! ❤️
