I watched the movie with my 10 years old daughter and my husband. It was great! I was born and raised in Japan, so I used to watched Astro Boy TV series when I was kid. Original stories were created 60 years ago. The good thing in story is that the Astro boy forgive even bad guys at the end.Did you know Osamu Tezuka created original "Lion King" 60 years ago. Somebody stole the story and sold it to Disney. However, Tezuka didn't sue Disney, instead he said "The most important thing is that many people enjoy the story." Tezuka passed away few years ago, however, I think he is happy in the heaven that Disney made Tezuka's movie now...
I loved the Ponyo very much! Ponyo is really good movie. I think it will get Academy award for this year! My 10 years old daughter also loved it! I never checked time during the movie!
