Ponyo!

So this is the best Studio Ghibli Movie, bar none There are better ones, but I genuinely enjoy this movie. I mean, listen to this excellent end credits song.



What were your opinions on Ponyo?

Vivi LOVVVVVEEEES Ponyo!

It was good, maybe even great, but it was definitely one of my least favorite from Miyazaki that I've seen. Arrietty is probably the only one lower than this one for me.

I still love it though.

Think of all the people ponyo killed with that flooding. Like holy trout

But she loves HAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

I love it for how simple and charming it is. I just watched it yesterday, actually! I love it when Ponyo is halfway between a fish and a girl. She looks like a chicken frog!

It's probably the cutest Miyazaki movie. I love it. xD

J'adore Ponyo

I drove my kids 3+ hours away to watch this when it was in the theaters, because it was the closest showing. Not my personal favorite, and not my kids' either, (that's Totoro), but it's up there. The cutefactor can't be underestimated. It slows down a bit toward the end I think, and drags, but I think some of the themes and images are not even fully appreciated. I say that because I've noticed some things on later viewings, little touches here and there, that made me think, or were intriguing in some way. More subtle, but beautiful all the same.
