I love this movie so much.
I preferred the film to the book though; it kind of dragged on a bit. I listened to the audio book while I was finishing my art coursework and even though Howl is from Wales in the book, the fact that the narrator used a Welsh accent to voice him really put me off.
I don't even know. It felt weird to me even though I like Welsh accents.
I think it probably had more to do with the fact that, because of the English dubbed film, I automatically associated Howl with having an American accent .
