Miyazaki isn't just a great visual storyteller — he's a man of conscience. And here, he has molded "Howl's" to fit his own worldview.
For one thing, in his version, there are no evil characters. Even the Witch of the Waste, who seems like a traditional villain in the opening scenes, is rendered sympathetic by Miyazaki and is accepted with open arms by the very girl she cursed. Instead of a villain, Miyazaki adds an entirely new subplot — a brutal war between two kingdoms. And Howl becomes an antiwar martyr who destroys warships regardless of for whom and why they fight.

'Howl's' a natural draw for an anime master
