Thoughts:
This my third Studio Ghibli movie that I watched. The first one is Spirited Away and the other is Princess Mononoke so I know how positive I am as I started watching this film. Studio Ghibli is one of the best anime production that has been watched and I am ashamed that I only started watching its movies this year. By watching the three movies, I will conclude that the movies of produced by Studio Ghibli are teaching the viewers the importance of love, life lessons and tightening friendship.

Animation/ Art Style: 11/10
This film was released around 90s and I am impressed how good the animation is. I can even compare it with Your Name of Makoto Shinkai. It has good background pictures and a good animation. This film stimulates more of your imagination with magic.

Soundtrack: 9/10

Overall: 11/10
A very recommended film to all types of people and ages. All Studio films are a good thing to watch.


Look how handsome Howl is ;----;
