Not up to his previous work

I'm sure kids will like it: The zany, hand-drawn style of Miyazaki is a refreshing change from all the CGI animation of late. But compared to Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle" and "Spirited Away," "Ponyo" can't compete. The plot’s nothing more than a retelling of "The Little Mermaid" with 5-year-olds. There is no sense of any real danger or obstacle that must be overcome. When the great moment of choice comes, it flies by so fast with absolutely no indication of its significance that I was left wondering what just happened. I have the distinct impression that something got left on the cutting-room floor in order to make it palatable to an American audience who saw the Disney label on it and won't accept any real challenge to their children.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
