We watched Howl's Moving Castle on Monday. It's been out for a while, I don't know why we didn't see it sooner. The previews didn't really do it justice, and although I LOVE the Chrestomanci books and HMC is by the same author, and we really like Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away, and the same guy did the animation for this one...we didn't see it until Monday, what can I say?
Anyway, it was rad. Dianne Wynne Jones has a thing for psychedelic bedrooms and I thought it was neat to see that come through in the artist's rendition of Howl's.
Charles and I must have said 5 times before/during the movie that it was a book written by the same author as Chrestomanci, but as I tucked Caileen into bed, she asked, "Why did Sophie keep the grey hair after the spell was broken"? I said, "If you read the book, I bet you'll find out."
"It's a book?!"
heh
