The film has several differences from the novel, partly due to the different requirements of the two media. Diana Wynne Jones' novel has a very large cast of characters, and several plot threads that were too complex to be transferred into the film.

Miyazaki traveled to England in the summer of to give Jones a private viewing of the finished film. She has been quoted as saying 'It's fantastic. No, I have no input—I write books, not films. Yes, it will be different from the book—in fact it's likely to be very different, but that's as it should be. It will still be a fantastic film.

The novel depicts Howl's castle as a tall, dark and sinister wizard's tower, very different from the complex image in the film. The film's castle may be seen as a parody of the machines seen in the movie, driven both by steam-engines and by magic. In the film, it is a 'rotund collage of chimneys, roofs, steam pipes, and other odd appendages, borne along on mechanized bird legs' [28] that is similar to Baba Yaga's hut in the popular fairy tale.

It is vaguely organic, and almost depicted as a life-form. Although they are set in a fantasy universe, the characters are often shown performing routine tasks, like cooking breakfast or washing up, in contrast to the heroic actions typical of a fantasy universe. The movie, however, avoids this digression, and maintains a constant setting. Miyazaki's biggest addition to the plot of the book was the use of the war as a large part of the plot.

In the book, the war is only tangentially referred to; the king orders Howl to find the king's missing brother Justin, because Justin's military skills are needed for a forthcoming war. The roles of several characters also differ between novel and film due to this plot change.

The Witch of the Waste is the chief antagonist of the book, whereas in the film she is reduced by Madame Suliman's magic to an ultimately harmless old woman who evokes sympathy in the audience and in Sophie. Penstemmon and the wizard Suliman into Madame Suliman. Although Suliman comes closest to being a traditional villain in the film, she is shown as having ambiguous motivations, and reviewers have stated that the real villain is war itself.

The thematic focus of the story also differs between the novel and the film. Reviewer Antonia Levi wrote that the experience of watching the film was similar to reading high quality fan fiction; although the characters and the setting were the same, the story was different.

Levi said that 'Jones uses Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer in a fairytale format to tell a story about challenging class and gender expectations, Miyazaki uses the same characters to tell a story about personal loyalty, love, and war. Hisaishi also composed and conducted a Howl's Moving Castle: Symphony Suite , an album published on 21 January which includes ten re-arranged pieces from the original soundtrack.

The film opened at the 61st Venice Film Festival in , [4] and was released in Japan on 20 November On home video, Howl's Moving Castle sold 2.

The website's critical consensus reads, 'Exquisitely illustrated by master animator Miyazaki, Howl's Moving Castle will delight children with its fantastical story and touch the hearts and minds of older viewers as well.

USA Today critic Claudia Puig gave the film a positive review, praising it for its ability to blend 'a childlike sense of wonder with sophisticated emotions and motives'. She also praised the design of the castle and added that Miyazaki added his own themes to the film: 'man's relationship to nature, the futility of war, and the joy of flight'. At its worst, it's the most amazing course meal you can't bring yourself to finish. Scott of The New York Times wrote, 'Admirers of [Hayao Miyazaki's] work, which is wildly imaginative, emotionally intense and surpassingly gentle, will find much to appreciate in this film because it demonstrates, once again, his visual ingenuity and his sensitivity as a storyteller.

For newcomers to his world, 'Howl's Moving Castle' is a fitting introduction to one of modern cinema's great enchanters. Sign up Log in.
