Ponyo (Gake no ue no Ponyo)
Welcome to a world where anything is possible! Academy Award–winning director Hayao Miyazaki (2002, Best Animated Feature, Spirited Away) and legendary filmmaker John Lasseter together with Disney bring to life a heartwarming and imaginative telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale The Little Mermaid. A young boy named Sosuke rescues a goldfish named Ponyo, and they embark on a fantastic journey of friendship and discovery before Ponyo’s father, a powerful sorcerer, forces her to return to her home in the sea. But Ponyo’s desire to be human upsets the delicate balance of nature and triggers a gigantic storm. Only Ponyo’s mother, a beautiful sea goddess, can restore nature’s balance and make Ponyo’s dreams come true. Ponyo will delight your family with its magnificent animation and timeless story.

Hmmmm.... quality going down? - easyHwolf
This movie pales in comparison to the other movies that Studio Ghibli has produced.
We were really disappointed by the story and the animation. The animation was nowhere near as smooth and the story was quite ... odd.
Hopefully the next one will be much better.What a strange film. - moviegenius
This is a strange movie. I think that it's good, but not great. The voice performances from Noah Cyrus and Frankie Jonas were a bit over the top, if you ask me. Still, I see why Hayao Miyazaki is such a respected animated film-maker. The animation in this movie is great and he does have a lot of creativity.Simply Breathtaking - 0930tracey
I can't count how many times my kids and I have watched Ponyo since I received it in the mail.
Not only is it heartwarming, with many great messages, but it is hilarious! My kids laughed throught the entire film.
It is so beautifully done as well, the art is stunning.
The story is so poignant for people of all ages to enjoy.
Do yourself a favour and Zip Ponyo!
