    10/10 (personal bias) I watched Ponyo as a kid so rewatching it again was like nostalgia and being back memories of childhood. It’s a fun loving movie that anyone could watch and enjoy. I could watch it over and over and still enjoy it each time.

    Ponyo

    The only entertaining piece of media I ever consumed where all obstacles are risible or short-lived. Before watching Ponyo I was simply unaware of the fact that one could tell a good story without real enemies. It’s like if family-friendliness was a good thing.

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.
