Although Ponyo was not my favorite movie my five year old daughter loved it. There is a beauty to it that I can appreciate and the colors are fantastic but I would agree that some of the abstract quality did not fit my fancy. I do find it interesting that the inspiration was Little Mermaid. It would be interesting to do a class comparative on the two stories.
Oh my gosh, I am so, so, so happy someone reviewed Miyazaki film! I love them. I find them to be quirky, creative, and so different than Western animation. I am going to review Totoro.
