Really boring to be honest, this might have worked as a short film but not as a standard feature. Ponyo is a really annoying character and almost nothing happens in the plot. Visually it's nice at times but not nearly enough to make this worth watching. Probably fun for kids but clearly not made for me.

Some really beautiful art - amazing colors! - but the story sadly was purely aimed at children in this one (to say it charitably).

While there are some gorgeous visuals, this is one of Miyazaki's more half-baked stories, and the title character is actually annoying.

My first Ghibli. My wife had spotted clips on her social media and wanted to know what movie this was, so I narrowed it down to this. I know their films are of generally a high acclaim, but I was unsure how the emotional kick would come. This one didn't kick that hard, but the journey absolutely had lots of charm and it really became a special family bonding time. Both kids glued to the screen like I've rarely seen as if the typhoon had swallowed them whole. They were mesmerized.

another great Miyazaki. Don't think the 2yo quite got the environmental message yet, so we'll make sure to revisit.

I feel like its pacing is very, very strange, but besides that Ponyo is a delightful animated film that says a lot even while being geared towards kids more than other Ghibli films. It has a lush environment both in its animation and its score to the point that it at times just sucks me into its world. The pro-environmentalism themes are appreciated yet subtle, but by the conclusion they are largely abandoned for a simpler message which helps the film feel more focused and true to itself.

Neither the world-ending stakes nor Fujimoto’s character are ever properly established, somewhat marring the finale, but the kids are adorable and easily innocent enough to smooth over the “she needs a man to become human” angle. Ponyo’s pattering feet and enormous grin as she runs with the tsunami and Lisa’s sensitive parenting and reckless driving are the highlights here, and they’re delightfully memorable.

The story feels slight and simplistic for a Miyazaki film (it's obviously intended for younger kids), but the colorful visuals, creative details, and overwhelming sweetness of it all make it well worth watching.
