It's called 'Howl's Moving Castle', and this is the plot summary:
'A love story between an 18-year-old girl named Sophie, cursed by a witch into an old woman's body, and a magician named Hauru. Under the curse, Sophie sets out to seek her fortune, which takes her to Hauru's strange Moving Castle. In the castle, Sophie meets Hauru's fire demon, named Calcifer. Seeing that she is under a curse, the demon makes a deal with Sophie;--if she breaks the contract he is under with Hauru, then Calcifer will lift the curse that Sophie is under, and she will return to her 18-year-old shape.'
I wanna see it...

Scarily normal...
I wanna see it with subtitles. American dubbing steals the magic. They completely changed part of Spirited Away!

Sorry for my race....I truly apologize. But with a lot of good foreign films, we do screw them up. Like The Ring....

(I rant about this all the time...)
When Haku goes and tells Zeniba that her big baby is off with Chihiro and Yubaba, and that he'll get it back if he lets Chihiro and her parents go, then she says all right, BUT...
In the American version, she says that she'll give Chihiro one last test. Which she does, but this just makes little kids in the audience think "Oh NO!" and parents think, "Oh boy..."
But in the ORIGINAL version, Zeniba says all right... but then threatens to kill Haku as soon as Chihiro's gone!! Which makes Haku fans like myself think "NOOOOOO!!!!!!", and makes the fact he got Zeniba to say yes even more essential to the plot, makes you realize that Haku ISN'T a selfish little chit like Lin says and really cares about Chihiro... and, most importantly, it makes you realize that when Chihiro and Haku say goodbye, it could be the last time they ever see each other because Haku could be going back to die...
DAMN AMERICANS CHEAPENING HAKU!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK.... I forgive you.
I am now mainly mad at Joss Whedon. But not too much, for he brought us Serenity and Firefly in the first place. But still..... raaaargh.

I am mad at him also, for he Ended Angel and Buffy. Actually, 'twas Fox that did, but I still blame him
