this is probably my most favorite animation cut by my most favorite animator of all time, the legendary shinya ohira and this scene alone is why i consider howl’s moving castle to be one of my most best animated ghibli movies
i’m obsessed with this painting called tomato king and i’m even more obsessed with the man who drew it. his name is stuart dunkel and he is a classical oboeist and he also paints tiny little oil paintings of mice living their best lives. he looks like this.
