I saw this yesterday. Loved it. It was every bit as magical as I hoped it could be.

One question. Why is there an old lady with a giant mole in the center of her forehead in just about every Miyasaki film?

I have a very basic understanding of Japanese, but there's a huge difference in hearing Howl's Moving Castle in its original languange and in the English voice acting. It got to the point that I stopped watching the English dub because I felt it was not conveying the same emotions that I got from the original language track.
