Howl's Moving Castle | Ghibliotheque #7

Welcome to the Ghibliotheque, the podcast that leafs through the library of films from the world’s greatest animation studio, Studio Ghibli. Michael & Jake return to the Ghibliotheque for a new mini-series, and kick things off with one of Studio Ghibli's biggest hits: 2004's magical adventure Howl's Moving Castle. Howl’s was initially slated as the first Ghibli movie to be directed by an outsider, but Hayao Miyazaki came out of his post-Spirited Away retirement to create what would become one of the veteran director's defining latter-day works. But is its reputation well-deserved?Show notes: Mamoru Hosoda on getting fired from Howl's Moving Castle: https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/20/18001588/mamoru-hosoda-fired-howls-moving-castle-interviewXan Brooks interviews Hayao Miyazaki:https://www.theguardian.com/film/2005/sep/14/japan.awardsandprizes Follow Michael and Jake on Twitter: @MichaelJLeader – Michael@jakehcunningham – JakeProduced by Michael Leader, Jake Cunningham, Harold McShiel and Steph WattsEditing by Lister Rossell Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
