IGN has posted some new clips of 'Hayao Miyazaki' upcoming film... 'Howl's Moving Castle'

I recognized it from the artwork...it's very distinctive. Check it out if you enjoyed 'Spirited Away'.



Cheers

Yes, his latest stuff has been amazing. I've seen "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke", "Kiki's Delivery Service", and "Castle in the Sky". I didn't much like "Castle in the Sky" (hollywoodish plot and mediocre characters), but his other films are among my favorites. Let's hope this one is another sensational hit.

When's it coming out?

I've already seen it - very good, though not quite as excellent as some of this others. You can already get the Region 2 DVD.

See here, though this specific one is Region 3:

Also, no English subtitles.

Saw it. The plot made no sense whatsoever, and it is only loosely based on the book. Spirited Away was a million times better.

Pete Docter, the director of Monster's Inc. (Pixar), helmed the english language translation production for the North American release of HOWL this summer. Pixar loves Miyazaki. Lasseter is a huge fan.
When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say "live and let live."
But if this ever changing world, in which we live in, makes you give in and cry, say "live and let die."

It looks really good. Got great reviews in Japan. When does it actually come out in the US?
