Hayao Miyazaki at an event for Ponyo (2008)
Movies Like Howl's Moving Castle That Are Definitely Worth Watching
Hayao Miyazaki at an event for Ponyo (2008)
Studio Ghibli and its founder and main director, Hayao Miyazaki, are known for producing whimsical animated films, and 2004's "Howl's Moving Castle" is one of their best. The film follows Sophie, a young hat maker who has a chance encounter with the wizard Howl, a mysterious and enchanting figure. This draws the attention of the Witch of the Waste, who fancies Howl. She curses Sophie, who turns into a 90-year-old crone. 

Leaving everything behind to try and break the enchantment, Sophie tracks down Howl's moving castle, which is literally a monstrous castle roaming the countryside on chicken-looking mechanical legs. Their adventures only get weirder...
