The Movie is Howl's Moving Castle, which is discused in this thread located here...
Howl's Moving Castle Clips & Trailers

Having seen the movie last week, IMHO it's in the same class as 'Spirited Away'. The story pacing, and it's sense of wonder, is very simular to 'Spirited Away'. But How's Moving Castle is also very much a 'retro' experiance in Miyazaki films, as I see alot of artistic design simularities in the cities with 'Laputa, Castle in the Sky'. The aircraft designs, and the animation of Howl's castle have alot in common with 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind'...
