Just watched Howl's Moving Castle (first time) last night. Most awesome thing about the movie? That there's a person in a wheelchair without ONE GODDAM WORD of explanation, or even mention. This character just happens to be in a wheelchair. Which is not important to who the person is, or what motivates her, in any way, and so is just not mentioned and expected to be accepted.
Parading silent through the trees,
The elves progress in single file
And let their hair blow in the breeze.
They walk in quiet for a while,
And other times they walk along
And play and sing and laugh and smile.
They sing their joyful forest-song
To all the creatures of the wood,
To all the things that there belong.
They find in each some life, some good,
For even in what feeds on death
Is beauty to be understood.
They sing in love, and every breath
Gives praise to fairest Elbereth.
