Review of Ponyo (2008) by Gregb — 21 Aug 2009
Is this a simple film? Yes it is. Does that mean that it can't be charming and engaging? No! Miyazaki does a great job portraying a story that everyone can understand. It is a fun film that everyone can enjoy.
You don't compare his films one with another, it just isn't right. Each one is a separate thing. Just enjoy his story telling mastery, and watch it in Japanese if possible. The english voice actors don't do it justice.
I could not stop watching and had fun the entire movie. Don't let the idiots who can't understand films like this discourage you from seeing a good movie in this day and age. Make the effort to support film makers of Miyazaki's caliber.
