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.
Imagine a baby being born but instead of screaming it just looks thoroughly displeased about its recent experience.

“She opened her eyes wide but did not cry. The doctor even had to say, ‘Cry, Isa!’ (…) She made that serious expression and only started crying after the umbilical cord was cut.” - Rodrigo Kunstmann (photographer)
Truth coming out of the womb to shame everyone
Yo I’ve never seen a baby with a more “put me back” expression lmao
