11. Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)

Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Howl's Moving Castle is a beautiful fairytale in a magical, war-torn world. The story is about Sophie, who was turned into an old woman by a witch and how she, with the wizard Howl, moves around in his magical, moving castle and discovers love and courage. Breathtaking animation by Miyazaki brings this signature blend of whimsy and deep emotional themes, creating a fairytale full of magic, transformation, and personal growth, all of which make the movie about war and self-empowerment continue to resonate with people of all ages.
