Howl's Moving Castle

Howl's Moving Castle is the English title of the new Hayao Miyazaki film. Miyazaki is the director responsible for Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, and several other excellent animated films. If you haven't seen a Miyazaki film yet, I highly recommend his work.

I don't know much about Howl's Moving Castle yet, except that it features a monstrous fort that walks about on chicken's legs, like Baba Yaga's hut. I'll write an update when we get a chance to see it...

EDIT: The New Yorker magazine published a good article on Hayao Miyazaki in its January 17th issue. The reporter managed to talk to Miyazaki for a bit, which is, apparently, a rare thing. Unfortunately, the New Yorker does not seem to have published this aticle online. They have posted an interview with the interviewer, Margaret Talbot.
