Howl's Moving Castle (novel)/Heartwarming

• The ending pays homage to its fairy-tale roots in a beautiful way -- with a little touch of humour that says so much about the story in general and all of the beautiful complicated relationships involved.

Howl: Now, I think we should all live happily ever after. It should be hair-raising.

• After Howl's Disney Death, he only takes a few seconds to get his bearings...and then tries to get up, saying he has to rescue Sophie, clearly caring more about her than himself.
