Please watch Castle in the Sky and Princess Mononoke, as well as Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind - on this channel - they are by far the three best Ghibli films, much better than Howl (which is still good in its own right)
I think this movie is so beautiful honestly. It’s a little hard to follow, but like Rob said, once you watch it a few times it clicks! The whole movie is basically one big circle. We see at the end that Sophie goes back in time, and at the beginning we hear Howl say “I’ve been looking everywhere for you”, so you don’t really understand it until the end. Also that’s why Howl made his castle move! He built it to look for Sophie, and he dated a lot of pretty girls in hopes of finding her. He even worked as a double agent in the war in case she was on either side. This story is so beautiful and I’m glad y’all reacted to it! ❤
when you are a fan of Howl's Moving Castle and you start talking about the hidden things, meanings and the comparison with the plot of the movie and the book it never ends :'D adore this anime
yeah, i was actually just a kid when i first watched hmc on tv, and just kept saying that it was nonsense bcs i couldnt really understand the flow of it, until growing up. but now that i watched it again more often, plus reactions, i finally got it.
Sophie has her own magic, the things she says become true. The Witch’s spell turned her into an old woman, but it is really how Sophie sees herself. Her negative self talk reinforced the spell. When she felt self-conscious, or weak she was old. The moments when she became young are her moments of confidence. In a way it is connected to her love for Howl. Loving someone and being loved in return makes you more confident and brave.
In the book, she would accidentally enchant the hats that she would make by saying things like “this is a hat for someone that will marry into money.” If I recall in the book, they called her type of magic “words of power”
I always suspected Sophie had magic simply because of the full on power up Calcifer got from eating a few strands of her hair. But that may have no correlation.
@@DanielFlores-or6yo do you recommend the book? I love this movie deeply ever since I was a child, I'd love to have some more of it but I know the book and the movie are very different
"Howl! Calcier! I know how to help you now! Find me in the future!" - Sophie "There you are, sweetheart, sorry I'm late. I was looking everywhere for you." -Howl That line connection is just *chefs kiss* This is such a good movie and really benefits from rewatching, especially if you found it a little complicated. Ghibli never misses, great reaction as always
So im just watching them react to it now thinking more on what you said. Is this perhaps the reason why Cal listens to Sophie (especially in beginning while cooking) Markl exclaims cal is listening to her Howl says not just any body can do that Im looking at this movie in a whole new perspective now holy 😍
Little fun fact: Josh Hutcherson plays Markl ! Also, i don't know if you figured it out already, but the reason why sophie was sometimes shown as young again was because in those moments she had more confidence in herself. For example, the scene where she was talking to Madame Suliman for the first time, she defended Howl but also stood up for herself, as opposed to the beginning of the movie when she was having trouble telling the creepy watchmen off.
One of my all time favorite movies! Also, hearing Christian Bale in total Batman voice say, “I see no point in living if I can’t be beautiful.” One of my favorite things in life period. Lol
That line is really funny and also its interesting that at first we see Howl as a great wizard, dressed really extravagant and all of the sudden he hits the audience with such a line, it made him more reliable that he is still in fact a young man with his own worries about his looks
In this version, the one reason Howl had been harassing beautiful girls is because he was looking for Sophie. Sophie's curse and how old she looked depended on how confident she felt.
5:18 you’re right! I read somewhere online after Christian Bale watched Spirited Away he really wanted to voice a character in another Studio Ghibli film and he ended up getting Howl !! :) Edit: He also voiced another character in the newest Studio Ghibli film “The Boy and the Heron” I haven’t seen the movie yet since I caught the flu but once I get better I’m definitely going !
interesting fact about the movie because I am obsessed the only time that she goes back to being young is when she is confident in herself, whenever she gets self-conscious she gets older because that is how she sees herself on the inside. turnips true love is Sophie but it isn't the other way around, so a "kiss from your true love" really had emphasis on your This movie is supposed to be a commentary on war, when he talks about the other magicians fighting tthe war and losing themselves, no knowing what side they really are a part of anymore its supposed to really bring it home how war doesn't benefit either sides and how much people are able to lose themselves markl is voiced by Josh Hutcherson Calicifer being so "obedient" with Sophie in the beginning really is just howl loving her. if you rewatch it you can see all of the times it is mentioned that Howl has been "looking for her" and that he already knows who she is and is in love with her.
I have to say... I've been following your channel for a while now and I simply love your videos. The fact that 3 guys react to all kinds of films, with many different styles with the same excitement is simply captivating. Keep up the great content! Congratulations on the channel boys! I will continue to follow you! ❤️ you react to all the movies I love!
He was pretty close though. "Howl had given his heart to Calcifer. This was the contract between them; the heart kept Calcifer alive, and in return Calcifer put his magic at Howl's disposal. Sophie uses her ability of bringing things to life to free Calcifer, thus breaking the contract between him and Howl."
Something interesting in the end is that you realize (more) how pointless that war was, bc they ended it just like that. I love how Miyazaki often includes these anti-war details/comments in his movies.
In the moments when Sophie seems to be younger it's because she's feeling good and beautiful the way she is or when Howl makes her forget this thought of not being good enough (this will happen more and more as they live together). And the fact that Howl is a wizard allows him to see her as she really is without the spell and to see how beautiful her kind heart is. 😍
Movie is basically a time loop and Howl finding Sophie at the start of the film was from hearing older Sophie telling young Howl to find her in the future.
the book has a lot of stuff I wish they'd put in the movie, like Markl was a teenager & he was in love with Sophie's sister, & they took a trip to Wales to see Howl's family lol
I have never thought about trying the audiobook! I always watched it and reread the book but its a good idea to try out this form, curious for the Welsh accent :D Is there any specific audiobook you recommend?
The channel Down To Sleep read it in full and it’s my favourite audiobook, he does it with and without rain/fireplace sounds in his smooth british voice and it’s perfect 🤌🏻
So glad you decided to see this movie, as you mentioned the world in this anime looks soo pretty and also I love the theme song of Howl's moving castle
Howl and Sophie presents the problems with confidence in two opposite ways. Sophie’s problem is external, as she openly expresses that she didn’t think she’s attractive even when other people disagree with that statement. Howl’s confidence problem is internal, as he looks really fine on the outside, but that appearance on the outside is what he hopes he will be while internally, he always views himself as a failure and not measuring up to expectations. The ring Howl gives Sophie leads directly to Calcifer, and since Calcifer has Howl’s heart, by giving Sophie the ring, Howl also guides Sophie straight to his heart, rings are often used as a symbol of commitment, and I think this ring serves a similar purpose as it’s basically Howl saying that Sophie will be the one that he willingly let into his heart and his life. Also, when you look at Sophie and Howl, you will find out that the story is also about adulting, Sophie and Howl differs on this topic, Sophie wants to skip adulting process entirely and straight into old age, as there is not much to gain and not much to lose at that point in life, whereas Howl is permanently stuck in adolescence stage where people’s approval is everything to him, and if he didn’t meet the expectations, his world would fall apart. But it’s precisely because Howl holds on to his childhood and early years that he is able to create the flower garden for Sophie.
personally i always thought that the reason why Sophie become old and young it's because of her feeling....when she is confident, really happy and love herself she became younger, then when she lost confident, happiness and doesn't love herself she turn back old.... i hope you can understand what i'm saying. sorry for my english ....i'm italian so, my english is really bad!
18:57 bread with olive oil and tomato is very Spanish breakfast dish. It is actually very very good. Also my fave is bread with butter and tomato ot top with salt. When i was still eatin mayonnaise i would make mayonnaise tomato sandwich
I simply CANNOT take it with Christian Bale's voice in this movie, any time Howl speaks I just have flashes from American Psycho and that makes everything he says super creepy instead of nice and comforting. I grew up watching the French version and the voice was much sweeter and more fitting in my opinion. I'm absolutely not saying Christian Bale is bad in any way, he's doing a great job. I just can't shake off the American Psycho voice.
oh i agree, the finnish dub i grew up on and always watch; in it his voice is so gentle and comforting so the english dub is so weird for me (i enjoy everyone else)
I'm used to the German dub where he sounds more like a boy too but honestly, hearing Christian Bale in this makes me understand why so many girlies fell for Howl lol
You remember when Howl said right at the beginning when he first met her "I finally found you" Now thing back when she told him in his Childhood to wait for her. Now look at the Ring he wears. Consider your mind blown. This story is a Timeloop.
I LOVE this movie! It's my FAVOURITE Ghibli movie and I've also read all the books! The whole trilogy is amazing (Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Air, and House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones in case anyone is wondering)!!!!
The present day howl has always been waiting for sophie. Thats why he said there you are/here you are when he saw her in the alley with those soldiers. Bc present day sophie told childhood howl to wait for her.
This was my first time watching “Howl’s Moving Castle” ever!!! And I’m glad I got to watch it for the first time with you guys!!!😄👍 Best reactions to this movie😂 and keep having fun while doing so!!🤗
Calcifer is my favorite character here, but I overall love this movie so much, great reaction. I'd love to see you react to Only Yesterday, My Neigbour Totoro or The Wind Rises next.
Love all the ghibli movies. My favorite amongst all is The Secret World of Arriety, mainly because I always imagined how I would live if I'm little when I was a child and the world looks bigger literally The repeatability is good too, it's my comfort movie. I also love Ponyo then Totoro. 💕
ooo ive been waiting for more Ghibli films! :D To be honest on this one I personally prefer the book, but the movie has a unique charm that understandably draws people in. The music and scenery are beautiful! Can't wait to see your guy's reactions. Hope you all enjoy it~
Once you read the book you can sparse out so much more in the movie. Like the black door leading to what would have been Wales and why Sophie is constantly changing from old to young. Even who Turnip Head and Heen are.
Christian Bale as Howl is just, chefs kiss! I love Howl, such a crush on him 💕 Edit: also I’m sure Billy crystal (Harry from the movie you just watched) voices Calcifer
Can't believe I missed seeing this posted!! I absolutely adore this movie, I just got a tattoo inspired by it a couple months ago bc I love it so much lol (for anyone wondering the tattoo is of little Howl holding the shooting star! :))
As amazing as this beautiful, incredible movie is, there is one studio ghibli movie that rises above it for me. You dont hear alot about it. Its called Nausicaa, of the Valley of the Wind and I would absolutely LOVE to see your guys' reaction to it 😊
When she says "I know how to help you now, find me in the future". Is the reason in the beginning why those two guys were cornering Sophie and Howl says he's been looking for her.
I love my Sophie hands with calcifer flame inside tattoo. Quite a few people have it or variations of it, but I love the line “a hearts a heavy burden”. I’m an empath so I feel that quite a lot :)
This was my third ever studio ghibli movie watched after Ponyo and The Secret World of Ariety but its the one that submitted my love for them. My sister used to put it on for me every day after getting home from school.
O my gosh 😭 this has and always will be favorite movie ever since i was 6, i grew up in germany and only ever knew the german version and once i saw the english version i was freakin star struck!! Its such a great movie, the novel was fantastic too, its just so freaking great

What brand name is the huge blue water jug is that he’s drinking from and where did he buy it it’s so cute I must have it 🥰🥰🥰please let me know boys 🥰
I own the Japanese sub and the English dub of Howl’s Moving Castle
You guys should try Nausicaa, it's pre-Ghibli and takes place in a Metroid-like, post-industrial apocalyptic world.
Please watch Castle in the Sky and Princess Mononoke, as well as Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind - on this channel - they are by far the three best Ghibli films, much better than Howl (which is still good in its own right)
@@StewNWT I have seen castle in the sky and Princess Mononoke
"Thats my girl" from this movie, hands down swooned every female's hearts.
Had me giggling and kicking my feet when I first saw this movie
"i've been looking for you"
Well Christian Bale has that affect 😂
It's my notification tone on my phone 😂😂😂
Sends me every single time

@@NKO_lindo I know you didn’t ask me but for me, I gave the book a 3.5 stars so it was ok. I love the movie though.

That line connection is just *chefs kiss* This is such a good movie and really benefits from rewatching, especially if you found it a little complicated. Ghibli never misses, great reaction as always
is that really the connection?! all the times i’ve watched this and i never realized
@@nomadicnovelsI think so! Howl’s ring also sparkles when he places his hand on Sophie’s shoulder
words can't describe how I adore this movie, its so sweet 🧡
Oh my god.! What a connection! Brilliant that just moved this movie furthur up for me holy crap haha
So im just watching them react to it now thinking more on what you said.
Is this perhaps the reason why Cal listens to Sophie (especially in beginning while cooking)

It hasn’t come out here in the UK yet. 26th of December for us. Can’t wait
OMG/?!!?!??!? I DIDN”T KNOW NEW STUDIO ghibli film came out??? Thank you!
I watched the movie last night and kept thinking “that can’t be Christian bale, he was in the howl’s moving castle” lol boy was I wrong!
interesting fact about the movie because I am obsessed
the only time that she goes back to being young is when she is confident in herself, whenever she gets self-conscious she gets older because that is how she sees herself on the inside.
turnips true love is Sophie but it isn't the other way around, so a "kiss from your true love" really had emphasis on your
This movie is supposed to be a commentary on war, when he talks about the other magicians fighting tthe war and losing themselves, no knowing what side they really are a part of anymore its supposed to really bring it home how war doesn't benefit either sides and how much people are able to lose themselves
markl is voiced by Josh Hutcherson
Calicifer being so "obedient" with Sophie in the beginning really is just howl loving her. if you rewatch it you can see all of the times it is mentioned that Howl has been "looking for her" and that he already knows who she is and is in love with her.
zuff's comments are so unhinged in this HAHA
I don’t think I’ve ever been MORE excited for a reaction!!! Can’t wait ❤❤❤ hope y’all loved it
Gotta agree with Rob-this is MY go to Studio Ghibli, though I love them all ❤

The fact that 3 guys react to all kinds of films, with many different styles with the same excitement is simply captivating. Keep up the great content! Congratulations on the channel boys!

This movie and Howl saying "that's my girl" made me realize I had a praise kink and I have never recovered
i don’t know how many times i’ve rewatched this movie. it never gets old
Calcifer is voiced by Billy Crystal who you guys just watched as Harry in When Harry Met Sally!
@ 34:17 "Calcifer is Howl's heart -- I'm deadass" took me OUT
He was pretty close though.
"Howl had given his heart to Calcifer. This was the contract between them; the heart kept Calcifer alive, and in return Calcifer put his magic at Howl's disposal. Sophie uses her ability of bringing things to life to free Calcifer, thus breaking the contract between him and Howl."

howl is sooo relatable i also turn into slime when i feel ugly

The audiobook of Dianna Wynne Jones’s book is great. It’s really neat hearing Howl’s Welsh accent
I have never thought about trying the audiobook! I always watched it and reread the book but its a good idea to try out this form, curious for the Welsh accent :D Is there any specific audiobook you recommend?
@@Snuffkin01 I love the 2008 version narrated by Jenny Sterlin. I’ll just start it at a random place now and go til the end 🙂
The channel Down To Sleep read it in full and it’s my favourite audiobook, he does it with and without rain/fireplace sounds in his smooth british voice and it’s perfect 🤌🏻
YES! My ultimate comfort film as well as my favourite Ghibli movie of all time! 😭
I love how old people are depicted in this movie, I work with old ladies and they really look and act like that
this videos commentary was so funny LMAOO "he's saving war"
i always tear up at the end omfg the music....the scenery....THE ROMANCE.....yeah top 10 movies of MY LIFE
absolutely goated selection, howl's moving castle 🔛🔝
The breakfast scene is constantly on my mind for some reason 😂
So glad you decided to see this movie, as you mentioned the world in this anime looks soo pretty and also I love the theme song of Howl's moving castle

Everyone's comfort boys watching everyone's comfort movie? Absolutely
omgggg “there’s shit coming out of it” 😂😂😂 i’m crying
I'VE BEEN WAITING TO THIS ONE FOR SOOOO LOOONGG!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
Too bad they didn’t immediately recognize Bill Crystal’s voice after just watching When Harry Met Sally
Hilarious to me that, in the books, the secret black door leads to 1980’s Wales, UK on Planet Earth. Howl’s greatest weakness is that he is Welsh 😂
howl's and princess mononoke are my favourite ghibli films!! i hope you do mononoke sometime 💗
18:57 bread with olive oil and tomato is very Spanish breakfast dish. It is actually very very good. Also my fave is bread with butter and tomato ot top with salt. When i was still eatin mayonnaise i would make mayonnaise tomato sandwich

My favorite Studio Ghibli movie!! Love seeing y'all react to seeing it for the first time!! 🩷
Rob has impeccable taste in movies
So glad my favorite characters from the iconic movie "howl's moving castle" Peen and egghead, got the recognition they deserve !
Most excited I’ve ever been for a reaction. I absolutely love studio ghibli
The present day howl has always been waiting for sophie. Thats why he said there you are/here you are when he saw her in the alley with those soldiers. Bc present day sophie told childhood howl to wait for her.
This was my first time watching “Howl’s Moving Castle” ever!!! And I’m glad I got to watch it for the first time with you guys!!!😄👍 Best reactions to this movie😂 and keep having fun while doing so!!🤗
I’m loving Zuffs hair
The first time I saw this was years ago when I was in high school and I loved it immediately. I really need to rewatch it soon. 💕
Watched this for the first time when I was 5 and had the biggest crush on Howl always said I’d marry him I’m 21 and still do🤣
Calcifer is my favorite character here, but I overall love this movie so much, great reaction. I'd love to see you react to Only Yesterday, My Neigbour Totoro or The Wind Rises next.
This one and Castle in the Sky are my two favorite Ghibli movies that I’ve seen so far.
Calcifer is voiced by Billy Crystal who played Harry in Harry Met Sally and also Miracle Max in The Princess Bride.
or maybe she’s just ✨✨aesthetic ✨✨
My first (and only for now) tattoo is of Howl because I love this movie so much
Calsifer is voiced by Billy Crystal. He played Harry in When Harry met Sally...
Love all the ghibli movies. My favorite amongst all is The Secret World of Arriety, mainly because I always imagined how I would live if I'm little when I was a child and the world looks bigger literally The repeatability is good too, it's my comfort movie. I also love Ponyo then Totoro. 💕
omfg FINALLYYYY i love this movie so much
When I first watched this it instantly became one of my favorite movies ever
ooo ive been waiting for more Ghibli films! :D
To be honest on this one I personally prefer the book, but the movie has a unique charm that understandably draws people in. The music and scenery are beautiful! Can't wait to see your guy's reactions. Hope you all enjoy it~
Once you read the book you can sparse out so much more in the movie. Like the black door leading to what would have been Wales and why Sophie is constantly changing from old to young. Even who Turnip Head and Heen are.
yeah you really have to look at the two of them totally separate. I love both for their own reasons, because gosh, this movie is just so dreamy!
Christian Bale as Howl is just, chefs kiss! I love Howl, such a crush on him 💕
Edit: also I’m sure Billy crystal (Harry from the movie you just watched) voices Calcifer
Witch of the Waste is voiced by Lauren Bacall.
Can't believe I missed seeing this posted!! I absolutely adore this movie, I just got a tattoo inspired by it a couple months ago bc I love it so much lol (for anyone wondering the tattoo is of little Howl holding the shooting star! :))
Omg omg I’ve been wanting this ever since you did spirited away ❤
Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away and Your Name has my favorite world buildups.
This is my favorite movie and I’m so happy you guys watched it ❤🎉
Yessss do Studio Ghibli Movies! Theyre all soooo good
The actor voicing Calcifer is Harry from When Harry Met Sally.
As amazing as this beautiful, incredible movie is, there is one studio ghibli movie that rises above it for me. You dont hear alot about it. Its called Nausicaa, of the Valley of the Wind and I would absolutely LOVE to see your guys' reaction to it 😊
Lol not a crying movie but I still cried bc the ending was so beautiful ❤
This movie is Ghibli's greatest hit after Spirited Away and is based with the author's support in a french book
He said Sophi changes her age look because of the aesthetic 😂😂😂
Christian bale is also in the new boy and the heron film (I hate to disappoint but he’s British in it)
My favourite anime movie of all time, thank you so much for this reaction!
Ayyy, this is my FAVORITE anime movie! Thank you guys for reacting! ❉
When she says "I know how to help you now, find me in the future". Is the reason in the beginning why those two guys were cornering Sophie and Howl says he's been looking for her.
This is my favorite Studio Ghibli movie!!💜
So many Zuff bangers this video I’m so here for it. And he looks great too
