Howl's Moving Castle

Yeah this film is worth seeing in a theatre. It's the closest thing to a real fairy tale that you're likely to see on the big screen. Miyazaki's animation is very unique and special.

Despite the fantastic back drops and inventiveness of the artist, the main focus is still the relationships of the characters to each other. You quickly forget you're watching a cartoon, and the illusion remains very solid through to the end of the movie. Miyazaki is also able to pack more fluid emotion into his animated characters in one shot, than most filmmakers/actors can pack into a scene.

As the reviews have already pointed out, it's not as good as Spirited Away, but it's still way better than any other animated movie out there.
