Moviegoers are saying
Studio Ghibli's 'Ponyo' divides audiences with its whimsical chaos, as viewers simultaneously adore its innocent charm while hilariously questioning the environmental catastrophe and questionable parenting choices that drive the plot. Critics can't help but love-hate this beautiful disaster where a fish-girl causes mass extinction and everyone just rolls with it.

ponyo ponyo ponyo fishy in the sea, tiny little fishy, who could you really be? ponyo ponyo ponyo magic set you free, oh she’s a little girl with a round tummy😸
tyler lovedPonyo10/10 (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.
Kathleen Chiarella OHern dislikedPonyoProbably the worst Studio Ghibli movie I’ve seen

Cute movie, Studio Ghibli never disappoints
Alyssa dislikedPonyoGirl gave up magic powers and immortality for a 6 year old and taxes
Francesco Derme likedPonyoThe 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.
