Princess Mononoke’s mother wolf Moro and Howl’s Moving Castle’s Witch of the Waste are both voiced by a famous singer and drag queen Akihiro Miwa.
Akihiro Miwa (born in 1935) is one of the most prominent queer icon in Japanese history, who survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki (his hometown) during WW2.
This clip is from a document How Princess Mononoke Was Born (1998)
Here’s a video clip of the finishes scene in the movie between Moro and Ashitaka.

I've finally read Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones and..
Studio Ghibli Howl is cute n all but he's nothing compared to the Book Howl.
Book Howl is not trying to be some grand hero suffering under his curse. Book Howl is evading every aspect that could lead to the curse taking over him, avoiding it the best he could and hoping it'll just wane away. And he's 20x more dramatic 😭 purposely wanting for attention..
Similarly Ghibli Sophie is fine but an entirely different person than the Book Sophie.
Book Sophie has a magical touch and can breathe life into things with mere words, can imbue inanimate objects with certain abilities. Book Sophie isn't self-loathing and insecure. Book Sophie merely believes her misfortune to be a direct effect of her being the eldest. And she dgaf or console Howl when he's being overly dramatic. Instead she tells him exactly how bad he is 😆 and how much worse he can be..
And the tale is far more convoluted. The whole thing about the Prince and Wizard Sulaiman, the thing about the Witch of the Waste and her fire demon, the fact that Book Simon isn't a child but a 20yo messy apprentice to Howl, the fact that Sophie actually has 2 sisters, the fact that Fanny is not an awful mother but perceived that way..AND THE FACT THAT HOWL IS WELSH!!! THE WORLD HE'S ACTUALLY FROM HAS VIDEO GAMES N SHIT!?..
There's so much to explore with this story and I hope someday we get a of 8-10 episode mini series where we can see some of this from book to screen 🤞😭

The found family remains together at the end of the movie.
They. Remain. Together.
Markl begs Sophie to stay, Howl refers to the house members as "our little family". That's what I love about Howl's moving castle: they find eachother, they decide to form a family and to live the rest of their lives together.
Don't touch me, I'm too emotional rn.

the witch of the waste is so funny. and howl too. howl, manic wizard dream boy, dating the unnamed Witch of the Waste. because he is unstable and has no heart he is infatuated immediately. because she is insane she is also infatuated immediately but is more crazy about it and quickly becomes very possessive. ("that'll teach you to meddle with things that belong to me" girl that is a human person)
howl quickly realizes "a) I'm bored now that I have nothing more to achieve from pursuing her b) this woman is incredibly controlling and jacked up in the brain c) that girl I saw at Fairfax's last week was really pretty." he cuts things off, not rudely, but with less grace than he maybe could have used. because she is insane WotW freaks out on him.
later she finds out that he's interested in this hatter girl who's got a natural unhoned magic talent. WotW freaks out extra hard, tries to curse him, tracks down the girl named hatter whose magical hats have been the talk of the valley, and puts her elaborate scheme in motion. all because howl broke up with her. lmao. also she doesn't even get the right girl but the one she does put a spell on is the one that ends up marrying him. suck on that
