Howl's Moving Castle

Hayao Miyazaki · 2004

Howl's Moving Castle adapts Diana Wynne Jones's novel about a young milliner cursed into old age by a witch, who ends up living in a wizard's walking castle as a war between two kingdoms escalates around them. Hayao Miyazaki directed the film for Studio Ghibli after an earlier director departed, and it took $236 million against a $24 million budget, becoming one of the most commercially successful Japanese films ever made and winning a Nebula Award for Best Script.

Weathering with You

Makoto Shinkai · 2019

Hodaka, a runaway sixteen-year-old scraping by in Tokyo, teams up with Hina, an orphaned girl who can part the rain with a prayer, to sell her ability as a paid service during an unusually long, disaster-scale downpour. Shinkai's follow-up to Your Name, again scored by Radwimps, pushes his interest in weather and disaster further than its predecessor by making the couple's happiness and the city's survival mutually exclusive, and then letting a teenager choose.
