Howl's Moving Castle

Has anyone else seen Howl's Moving Castle, the anime directed by Hayao Miyazaki?
It's based off a fantastic youth novel by Diana Wynne Jones of the same name. It was even in the theaters for a short time here in the US.

I love it. It's one of my favorite books of all time, the film is very different but the story line is still fantastic. Miyazaki is a genius and his changes definitely added a artistic quality to the finished product.

Any other fans?

I want to see this very much. I have heard only good things about it. What is the story?

It's about a girl named Sohpie who is the eldest of her sisters, they all set out to make their fortunes and she's left at home to take care of the family hat shop, but she doesn't mind.
She goes on a visit to see her sister at the Bakery she's working at and she meets up with the wizard Howl. The Witch of the Waste finds out about Sophie and puts a curse on her so that she becomes an old woman, and she can tell no one about the curse- that's the worst part! So she leaves home to go find a way to get the spell reversed, and ends up living in Howl's moving castle with his apprentice Michael and the fire demon Calcifer.

It's really great, I highly recommend it!

I was lucky enough to catch it in theaters and I thought it was an engaging and lyrical little film
