Tickets are on sale now for “Howl’s Moving Castle” – the story of Sophie, a quiet girl working in a hat shop, finds her life thrown into turmoil when she is literally swept off her feet by a handsome but mysterious wizard named Howl. The vain and vengeful Witch of the Waste, jealous of their friendship, puts a curse on Sophie and turns her into a 90-year-old woman. On a quest to break the spell, Sophie climbs aboard Howl’s magnificent moving castle and into a new life of wonder and adventure. Brought to you by Academy Award winning director Hayao Miyazaki, the fantastical, fan-favorite title returns to theatres this August for five nationwide screenings. GKIDS and Fathom Entertainment are delighted to continue Studio Ghibli Fest with the 2025 edition which celebrates “The Secret World of Arrietty’s” 15th anniversary.
