Howl's Moving Castle
Thursday, August 26; 4 p.m.
Harvey Southam Room, Lower Level
The Central Library, 350 W. Georgia St.
Sophie finds her life thrown into turmoil when a handsome-but-mysterious wizard named Howl sweeps her off her feet. This innocent encounter enrages the vain and conniving Witch of the Waste, who transforms Sophie into a 90-year-old woman. Sophie's efforts to break the curse bring her to Howl's magical moving castle, where she befriends Markl, Howl's apprentice, and the hot-headed fire demon Calcifer. Her love and support have a major impact on Howl and he defies royal orders to participate in a meaningless war and risks his life to bring peace to the kingdom.

Kiki's Delivery Service
Thursday, September 2; 4 p.m.
Harvey Southam Room, Lower Level
The Central Library, 350 W. Georgia St.
In Hayao Miyazaki's magical Kiki's Delivery Service, a young witch on her mandatory year of independent life finds fitting into a new community difficult while she supports herself by running an air courier service. Kiki is still a little green and plenty headstrong, but also resourceful, imaginative and determined. With her trusty cat Jiji by her side she's ready to take on the world, or at least the quaintly European seaside village she's chosen as her new home. |
