Ponyo
PostedAugust 15, 2009

While this is not as exquisite as "Spirited Away," it is still a good movie with delightful animation and creativity. The depiction of the family of Syoshi (sp?) was warm and realistic, and even the odd marriage of the two sea creatures was loving. Ponyo's father was alarming at first, but in the end he was a father who wanted the best for Ponyo. The love of the two children for each other was sweet. I would not recommend this movie for small children, however (perhaps 6 or 7 or older). A story based on Japanese-style storytelling and spirits is more confusing than American storytelling. Adult women probably would appreciate it more than adult men, which was at least true for our group.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
