Being a very big fan of Studio Ghibli (I own all of their movies) and Miyazaki I was incredibly excited to see that Ponyo was coming out.
The movie itself is breathtakingly beautiful, and the storyline was delightful. However, I felt that the actors they chose to play the characters were pretty awful and ultimately took away a lot of the movie's potential.
I'm looking forward to the DvD release so I can rewatch it with the Japanese voice actors instead, I know in my heart that they will do a better job than the English actors.
