Acclaimed anime master Hayao Miyazaki (SPIRITED AWAY) returns for his ninth animated feature with PONYO, which deals with a friendship between a five-year-old boy and a goldfish princess who yearns to be human. The daughter of the king of the ocean, Ponyo is no ordinary goldfish -- she has all the magic of the sea at her disposal. But when five-year-old Sosuke befriends the spunky little fish near the seaside home he shares with his mother and father, a special connection sparks between the two children, and Ponyo becomes determined to become human. Transforming into a little girl, Ponyo shows up at Sosuke's doorstep, delighted to make herself at home with her new land-dwelling family. But having a magical fish princess walking around on dry land begins setting the mystical balance of the world off kilter, and even though the innocent love Ponyo feels for her dear friend is strong, it will take some help from the greatest powers in the ocean to make things right again.

A pleasure to watch
Hayao Miyazaki has done himself and studio Ghibli (not sure of the spelling) very proud. I'm a big fan anyway, and was pleased to find a film by them that I... read more »

Passes the daughter test
Quite good but not Totoro :)

We’re - very nearly - half way through 2010. Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday we were examining our tea-leaves and anticipating Edge of Darkness – aka The Return of Mel – with bated breath. Instead of looking forward all the time, a quick review may be in order – an assessment, if you will, of what’s been going on in the reel world during these past few months. Beyond Avatar, that is. We’ve pressed the jewel button on the handle of our... Read more
