sad to see miyazaki didn't win his oscar for 'howls' moving castle'. i can recommend the wallace and gromit movie, though, and miyazaki already scored with 'spirited away'

I came across Spirited Away on Sky Movies tonight while channel-hopping. Luckily it had just started. Excellent film! I haven't seen his others but I will have to check them out.

Cartoon Network is doing a Miyazaki "festival" of sorts. Tonight it's Spirited Away.

USA, I'd imagine, and I'm willing to bet it'll be the mediocre dub. Ah well, better than nothing!

mononoke was dubbed by neil gaiman, though, that used to be one the reasons i wanted to see it in english
is the spirited away dub really that bad?

Actually, Turner Classic Movies showed both sub and dub during the Miyzaki film festival.
I like the dub version! I usually listed to the sub version first, but the sub on SA didn't sound bad at all to me.
And after watching it again recently, I found one moment to be similar to the naming of DV scene in ROTS. When Chohiro signs her contract with Yubaba, the witch lifts characters of the girls name until only her "new" name is left; Yubaba takes away her "real" name and dubs her Sen. The taking/giving of names gives her a power over her employees; the only way for them to get home is to remember their real name. In ROTS, Sidious shows his power over Anakin by renaming him DV, replacing the name of his "real self".
PM was the first miyazaki film I saw, but it really didn't make me a huge fan. Then I just fell in love with SA, and am so glad John Lassiter helped get these movies over here.

the naming thing is very common as a linguistic device to show power. also in alice in wonderland OR behind the mirrors, humpty dumpty plays with names for things and concepts, it can be funny, but i can also be used magically. i heard that members of wicca (is that the operative term?) also get a new name once they enter the order, just like nuns and monks. i suppose it helps build a new identity.
interesting nonetheless.

I can't believe I haven't properly posted in this thread before.
I hang my head in shame.
Out of Miyazaki's films I've seen, in order:
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
Howl's Moving Castle
The Cat Returns
I really wanna see Porco Rosso, Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro.
But why so little love for Howl? I think it has to be my favourite Miyazaki work. I think maybe people think it's a little on the weird side, but personally I think that it's that very thing which makes it work so well. I just love the bit when Howl and Sofie are flying above the town square where everyone is dancing, but then I'm just a sucker for flying, it's so cool  . I also just love the music, I'm currently hunting for the soundtrack.
Also I had a major schoolwork deadline recently and it was having Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away on my telly while I was working that helped me not get totally stressed out. They are just such lovely, funny, sweet films that are full of adventure and you just can't feel upset or stressed after you've watched them.
So watching Miyazaki films lowers the levels of stress in a person. It's a health warning all should make note of

hello to this!
yeah, my lack of love for howl seems to have clouded this thread..  i don't remember much from it, to be honest, i remember liking howl and how frightened he was and how vain, too. but i had a hard time just understanding the story to the extent that i knew why people were running into the respective directions. i just couldn't really get involved.
if i can get a friend of mine to join tfn she would tell you that she greatly enjoyed it and also found something in it. and i just didn't. it's my loss, i guess, not miyazaki's.
i guess with totoro and chihiro and ashitaka.. i could relate to these guys more. especially with princess mononoke, i wanted to like it badly and it kept its promise and delivered on many levels. that time i was just searching for animation that wasn't run-of-the-mill singalong, cute sidekick stuff. ashitaka embodies so many things. it just makes sense to me. also the idea of the forest god who isn't benevolent in that sense, who gives and takes and seems to have this grander plan. it's just very exciting.
maybe with howl it was more about seeing europe and i have had that from heidi and such back then when i was a kid.

I have seen My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, and Nausicaa.
I happen to like the dub version of the movie. They seem to get some good actors to do it. I can recognize most of them. I might me biased, but Mark Hamill as Muska in Castle in the Sky was sweet.

TCM was just too incredibly cool for showing these films. My daughter, my husband and I have enjoyed relaxing in the evenings and watching these - I'm excited about the Miyazaki son is working on an animated version of "Earthsea."

I saw Whisper of the Heart for the first time yesterday. It was great and even if it's not directed by Miyazaki his influence is obvious (Screenplay and storyboards are by Miyazaki)!
Looking forward to the next movie by Miyazaki!

I just finished Howl's Moving Castle and I have to say I think it's my favorite of the films of his I've seen. I love all of them but, for me, this one had all the elements working for it.
