Mohsenkhanm It seems that this movie is made for little children, the story is much simpler than other Miyazaki films and is really easy going, however the thing that I really enjoyed about this movie was powerful role of women, alongside with natural considers.
CALCHUCHESTAFAN I love Studio Ghibli films. There are the masterpieces, the great ones, the enjoyable ones, and the forgettable ones. Ponyo is this animation studios take on The Little Mermaid. It doesn't exceed to those standards but it's good. Studio Ghibli Films are always animated well. I liked the main character Soske because his life was very interesting imo. Most of the characters were likable except for that Sea Father or something. The scenes in the sea and in that land bubble were stunning like a dream. Breathing in water while fish swimming around you inside your house. I liked everything about the movie except that I felt that Soske and Ponyo's chemistry could've been a little less awkward with especially with that kiss at the end. Some of the movies story is kinda stupid with how the Sea Father guy started a tsunami just because Ponyo got alike there wasn't anything that different about her except her looks. And also one scene was just gross and barely made any sense. Let's just say it has a baby in it. Other than that, I liked it. Obviously not on Sprited Away, Porcu Roso, or Princess Mononoke's level but it's good. 7/10.
collierd-85888 Really not a great movie, nor is it in most people's top 5 Ghibli films, but this is the first one I ever saw and is a huge part of my childhood.
l-52311 Now, Hayao Miyazaki is one of my favorite movie producers. He makes very quality anime films that all ages can get and enjoy. He is enthusiastic with his art and very creative/emotional. Ponyo is one of Miyazaki's newer films but it isn't the least at all. He incorporates so many genres all in one like; romance, drama, adventure, action, amongst so much more. The basis of the plot of this movie is the main character, Ponyo, who is a fish at them time escapes from her home in the ocean. She escapes to the coast where she finds a little boy named, Sasuke. They have many adventures and run into some trouble with each other. In the end they fall in love and Ponyo becomes a human. Pretty eventful, right? That's why its ranked in one of my top favorite movies.
