In just about every Miyazaki film I’ve seen, there are these cute, silent characters. These are my particular favorites (although it’s hard not to love Calcifer in this movie) because they say so much without words. And Miyazaki doesn’t disappoint in Howl’s Moving Castle. To me, characters like Turnip Head are the most unique and interesting in the movie and they really contribute to the overall plot and vision of the movie.

Of course, overall, this film is just good. The story is original and interesting, like all the Miyazaki films I’ve seen so far.
