Monsters Inc. Director to Supervise English Howl

Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki revealed during a Japanese press conference that Pete Docter, director of the animated film Monsters, Inc., will supervise the production of the English language version of Howl’s Moving Castle. John Lasseter, producer behind the English language version of Spirited Away, was the first choice, but he is working on the animated film “Cars” and is unable to handle both films simultaneously.
