When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent, walking castle.
This film is loosely based on the 1986 novel of the same name by British author Diana Wynne Jones.
After seeing Spirited Away (2001), Christian Bale immediately agreed to play any role in this film. He didn't expect to get the titular role.
Sophie's city was modeled after Colmar, France.
