No, not the "Flying Circus", but it looks like one..

Howl's Moving Castle, by Kazunori Ito.

This is probably the most animation-heavy simobject I've seen so far. The wings flap, the mouth opens and closes, and the tongue moves in and out, there a couple of turning gears, three "smoke stacks" in the rear that move around, rotating props, and to top all that off, a dangling bucket.

It's weird looking, too. So, what's not to like?

I agree!

And what's not to like about it? EVERYTHING! It's downright hideous! But it looks awesome! Cheesy

That's weird even for you Roy. Grin

Looks like a fish out of water, a really weird fish.
Good luck with repainting that one. Grin

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Strange has taken on a new meaning. I'm trying to picture the U-Haul logo but can't seem to get the placement right. Good luck! Cheesy

I don't know if I'd want to re-paint it with a airbrush mounted on a twenty foot pole! It might try to eat me. Shocked

If I did, it wouldn't be a U-haul, but one of the RV rentals. A quick Google search shows there a few around...

Must.... resist.... impulse..

Whew! That was close! Grin

In my opinion, although visually beautifull, this movie is not the best one from Mr.Miyazaki. However, I strongly (and I mean, STRONGLY) recommend you to watch all of his other movies Wink

The caste in the sky, Spirited Away (Chihiro) and My neighbor Totoro are surley some of the most beautifull (in every aspect) anime movies I've ever seen.
I haven't seen Porco Rosso yet. It deals with aviation, by the way.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
