Then the movie starts dubbed in English, with English subtitles running underneath. When you try to fix it in the settings, get this—it just offers you Spanish and Portuguese. Turns out Portuguese was the dub and Spanish was actually Japanese. 😵
I was looking into the plot because I thought it was just some cheesy romance that Hayao Miyazaki turned into his own little fairy tale, but then I read online that the story is way deeper and a lot got taken out of context. Not that I care, though. It’s still worth watching. 😍 Spirited Away is way more complex; compared to that, Disney looks like some innocent bedtime story. Spirited Away's Chihiro 😍
Still, the animation itself is unbeatable, as always. 🙏
I've got that same DVD at home. Someone ripped it for me once and yeah, it’s a total mess. What trips me out is that the picture and audio are actually great. Usually, those DVDs you grab at a gas station have crappy video and garbage sound. Still, I'd much rather have the latest Disney release for the US market with English subtitles.
The translations aren't even right most of the time, and don't even get me started on the dubbing. 👎

Yeah, it is. He took a lot of stuff and transformed it his way. I'll check if I have the book on a drive somewhere and download it.

Howl is definitely an innocent little story where Hayao shows off once again why he's a master of animation and imagination. And man, the way the Castle was designed 🙏 It's like he was tripping while he was drawing it. 😂
