Summary
Shortly after reaping the rewards from his movie Spirited Away， a project that earned him an Academy Award in 2003， director Hayao Miyazaki set his sites on his next film， Howl's Moving Castle。Based on the novel by British author Diana Wynne Jones， Howl's Moving Castle gave the internationally renown director an opportunity to bring to life a fantastical time in 19th century Europe when science and magic defined the popular zeitgeist。Veering slightly from its source material， the new Miyazaki movie nonetheless retains all the novel's principal characters。 There's a foppish wizard named Howl， a vain witch from the wastelands， an anthropomorphic chimney fire and a young girl who carries a most unusual curse。 And， of course， there's the moving castle…a towering， omnipresent structure that dominates the landscape。 Already a smash success in Japan， Howl's Moving Castle finally comes to U。S。 theatres this spring。 To coincide with its Stateside release， VIZ is proud to present The Art of Howl's Moving Castle， a hardbound， prestige format book which acts as an essential companion to the film。 A generous collection of concept sketches， fully rendered character and background drawings， paintings and cell images， The Art of Howl's Moving Castle brings the movie into your library。 Along with the stunning visuals， the book also presents interviews and comments with the production staff， including key points directly from the director。There's more than one way to book passage on the moving castle。 See the movie， but don't forget to reserve a copy of the book， as well。 The Art of Howl's Moving Castle is a great way to preserve the magic of the next great anime classic from Hayao Miyazaki。

A wonderful reminder of the extraordinary visual feast that is Howl's Moving Castle。 The discussions as to how much of the animation was achieved sometimes got too technical for me， but they convey the fact that the work behind this film was of the highest quality。 A wonderful reminder of the extraordinary visual feast that is Howl's Moving Castle。 The discussions as to how much of the animation was achieved sometimes got too technical for me， but they convey the fact that the work behind this film was of the highest quality。 。。。more

This book was so fascinating！ It offered cool art and a look at the development of the movie。 My only complaint is that it felt kind of。。。distant？ Like， the short articles from the creators felt kind of choppy and sometimes hard to understand， but that may be because this book was probably translated。 Anyway， this is a great book for anyone who loves Howl's Moving Castle to check out！ This book was so fascinating！ It offered cool art and a look at the development of the movie。 My only complaint is that it felt kind of。。。distant？ Like， the short articles from the creators felt kind of choppy and sometimes hard to understand， but that may be because this book was probably translated。 Anyway， this is a great book for anyone who loves Howl's Moving Castle to check out！ 。。。more

The Studio Ghibli Library books are so good。 The quality of the images， the quality of the paper， and plenty of interesting sections on the process。 Maybe still a little heavy on the movie stills and describing the scene when more space could be given to concept art， breakdowns and interviews， but it's hard to grumble too much when each shot looks this good。 The Studio Ghibli Library books are so good。 The quality of the images， the quality of the paper， and plenty of interesting sections on the process。 Maybe still a little heavy on the movie stills and describing the scene when more space could be given to concept art， breakdowns and interviews， but it's hard to grumble too much when each shot looks this good。 。。。more

Bellissimo da sfogliare per tutti gli appassionati。 Bozzetti， concept art， （molto） brevi interviste e scene analizzate più da vicino。 Forse mi aspettavo del testo in più con altre curiosità e spiegazioni， però non me la sento di togliere una stella per questo dato che effettivamente mi è piaciuto molto ed è stato interessante。

Beautiful， and stunning - nothing more and nothing less。 To have the privilege to see how such a wonderful work such as "Howls moving castle" came to be is an honor。 Beautiful， and stunning - nothing more and nothing less。 To have the privilege to see how such a wonderful work such as "Howls moving castle" came to be is an honor。 。。。more

4。0There doesn't seem to be that many concept art in this one， compared to the great number of final frames。 The last 50 pages is the complete screenplay of the movie。 4。0There doesn't seem to be that many concept art in this one， compared to the great number of final frames。 The last 50 pages is the complete screenplay of the movie。 。。。more

Really wonderful experience reading this！ The illustrations and screencaps are printed beautifully as well。 I only mark it down a star due to some translation errors。

Incredible。 This is the third Studio Ghibli art book I have acquired， and I was not disappointed。 I love being able to see Miyazaki’s original sketches， as well as getting to read so much interesting behind-the-scenes information about the making of one of my favorite movies。 It is so cool to get to see how the film’s artwork and animation evolved over time。 Once I started， I just could not put this book down。 I was absolutely immersed in the world of Howl’s Moving Castle。 What a magical experie Incredible。 This is the third Studio Ghibli art book I have acquired， and I was not disappointed。 I love being able to see Miyazaki’s original sketches， as well as getting to read so much interesting behind-the-scenes information about the making of one of my favorite movies。 It is so cool to get to see how the film’s artwork and animation evolved over time。 Once I started， I just could not put this book down。 I was absolutely immersed in the world of Howl’s Moving Castle。 What a magical experience！ 。。。more

Studio Ghibli is synonymous with Hayao Miyazaki。 However， it takes more than one man to create animated films with as much richness in color and detail as Howl's Moving Castle。 As expected， it has images from concept design to animated stills packed throughout the book， but also includes blurbs from various members of the production team explaining their part。 If you're a Ghibli fan or have an interest in animation， this one is worth taking a look at。 Studio Ghibli is synonymous with Hayao Miyazaki。 However， it takes more than one man to create animated films with as much richness in color and detail as Howl's Moving Castle。 As expected， it has images from concept design to animated stills packed throughout the book， but also includes blurbs from various members of the production team explaining their part。 If you're a Ghibli fan or have an interest in animation， this one is worth taking a look at。 。。。more

I have to admit， I didn't read all the lengthier annotations from the production team， but I did skim through most of the writing in the book。 But I will be constantly going back to this book， so I will read them all in due time！ This is an amazing book， suitable to anyone who loved the movie and would be interested in seeing some behind the scene stills。 It quickly becomes obvious how detailed the animation process was， and how hard Studio Ghibli worked on this movie。 I was surprised when I stu I have to admit， I didn't read all the lengthier annotations from the production team， but I did skim through most of the writing in the book。 But I will be constantly going back to this book， so I will read them all in due time！ This is an amazing book， suitable to anyone who loved the movie and would be interested in seeing some behind the scene stills。 It quickly becomes obvious how detailed the animation process was， and how hard Studio Ghibli worked on this movie。 I was surprised when I stumbled upon two pages dedicated to transport and pedestrians - seemingly miniscule details only present at the beginning of the movie。 Earlier sketches of characters also show how much the ideas were pushed and developed。 I could go on and on， but I think one should discover it for themselves as it's an experience in itself （just as much as the movie is）。As an artist myself， I immensely enjoyed looking and reading through this magnificent book。 I think it will also be helpful to look through whenever I need motivation with my Illustration degree coursework。 Highly recommend！ 。。。more

I finally watched this movie recently and really loved it。 I am fascinated by the process of creating an animated film and Studio Ghibli has a really special quality I've never seen anywhere else。 The art is of course stunning and I enjoyed reading about the research that went into the character designs。 I finally watched this movie recently and really loved it。 I am fascinated by the process of creating an animated film and Studio Ghibli has a really special quality I've never seen anywhere else。 The art is of course stunning and I enjoyed reading about the research that went into the character designs。 。。。more

The book is awesome and the movie is also great。 Love the drawings painted with watercolors。 However， I was expecting more information about the process of making the animation。 There are very few pages in which talks a little about it。 I want more designs， sketches， ideas and so on。

Great book！ The art is of the highest quality， gives you insight into what went through the creators minds while making it for those interested in such details。Great book for fans， and great reference for those interested in drawing/designing characters and environment。

The Art of Howl's Moving Castle is filled with incredible and beautiful art work。 With tidbits of information from the creators of the movie on how they brought the story of Howl's Moving Castle to life from sketches to the big screen。 Now if you'd excuse me I need to go and watch this movie one more time。。。 The Art of Howl's Moving Castle is filled with incredible and beautiful art work。 With tidbits of information from the creators of the movie on how they brought the story of Howl's Moving Castle to life from sketches to the big screen。 Now if you'd excuse me I need to go and watch this movie one more time。。。 。。。more
