I don't actually know if I like the movie 😅 I think I watched it all of once, was too put-off by all the changes Miyazaki made (including the aforementioned shoehorning in of his own themes and erasure of Sophie's "bossing things around" magic), and haven't watched it again since. I don't think I have it in me to say that I hated it, especially since I like how Miyazaki did Calcifer, but man. If I wanted to watch a Miyazaki movie, I have another dozen or so on my shelf already. I wanted to watch an animated Howl's Moving Castle. All the respect in the world for everyone who loves the movie, I just. Can't do it.
...Specifying "animated" up there just made me realize how absolutely amazeballs a live action Jim Henson Company adaptation would be. I might accept a movie-length if they tried it! Otherwise, yeah, mini-series at least. Minimum three hour-long episodes or no deal.
