    Some of the best sound design of any movie I've ever seen, animated or otherwise. Good story with amazing visuals as you'd expect of a Ghibli film. The weird Japanese version of The Little Mermaid, and better for it imo

    As a kindie teacher in Japan, I had seen the first hour of this 20 times, but never the ending. I loved it, and my friend cried.

Though targeted at tots, Ponyo may appeal most to jaded adults thirsty for wondrous beauty and unpackaged innocence

Don't tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic kingdom.
