Visually Stunning and Heartwarming

A lot of the reviews here complain about the underlying theme of the movie, but they miss the point entirely. Yes, Ponyo's father hates humans and is bitter about the pollution. Yes Miyazaki is somewhat to the left (his other movies would give the reviewers indigestion if this one got to them). But the whole point of the movie wasn't about blaming humans and making them evil, it was about achieving balance and unity between a mysterious and magical nature and human beings. Even Ponyo's "evil wizard" father accepted that by the end and her sea goddess mother accepted that from the beginning. It was about a child's innocence and love for a little fish who wanted to be a human. Beautifully rendered and well told.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
