Howl's Castle is picked up by Disney
by Kit

Saturday, May 3, 2003

Another Hayao Miyazaki film gets the Disney treatment.

As was done with Spirited Away, Disney will probably release the original Japanese language version (with English subtitles) in some select theaters, along with the English-dubbed version that most people will see. The title translates to Japanese as "Hauru no Ugokujou".

Expect this one in 2005.

Premise: An eighteen-year-old girl, Sophie, who helps out at her late father's hat shop in the boring town of Market Chipping, is transformed one day by the evil Witch of the Waste into an old woman. Determined to get turned back to her normal self, Sophie seeks out the help of the Wizard Howl, who has an amazing moving castle (which looks a bit like a giant robot), which is fueled by a fire demon named Calcifer.
