The anime movies have very exotic and interesting story lines, alway watch the Japanese version with english subtitles, much better than english dubs

Although Howl's Moving Castle doesn't have such a 'save the nature theme' that most of Hayao Miyazaki's movies do, it still is about 'no war.' I love all of his movies, Princess Mononoke being my favorite, but out of all his movies, this one is my second favorite. The animation is great as well as the characters. It has a great plot and another curse. In many ways, Howl's Moving Castle is similar to Princess Mononoke.
A Studio Ghibli connection here, as all other Ghibli movies share as well.
Both Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle follow a protagonist who has been cursed by some evil force, which initiates them to set out on a journey, meeting an unconventional character in the midst of so, bringing forward a once in a lifetime trip for them.
Both are great movies sharing the same director, Miyazaki Hayao, and studio, Studio Ghibli. There is something for all of these two movies.

The story elements are very similar, cursed MC forced to move out, then met the Main hero (movie title) to overcome a major conflict.
As usual Ghibli is the GOAT of worldbuilding, aside for the stories we are witnessing you feel there is great and alive world out there with so many interesting nuances that you just take a glimpse.
Very enjoyable watches, Howl focusing on personal growth and Mononoke on enviromental awareness.
Besides being two of Hayao Miyazaki's greatest films they both deal with conflict and the deformities hate causes in one's Soul
