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
for people who are wondering what this song is, it’s trendafilcheto, a famous bulgarian folk song:
i can’t remember the exact lyrics, but i think it has something to do with taking a girl to the market and buying her yellow slippers? something like that. it’s not particularly profound/related to the movie at all, but it does sound very cool and suits the mood of the scene pretty well.
IVE ALWAYS LOVED THAT SONG I used to rewind this bit over and over just to hear the lil starbabie’s song AND NOW I ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM thank you so fucking much aaaaaaaaaaaa also the whole song fucking SLAPS????!?!! Holy shit like what tf time signature are they even in how are they staying on beat that’s amazing??! So fuckin cool omgggggggg
O…m…g…THANK YOU!
It’s my favorite scene in the movie (and one of my favorite scenes in animation in general) and THIS SONG AAA!!! I finally know what it is!
