Ponyo...

I've seen Ponyo a few times both on the local movie channel and on DVD...
In Ponyo, a young boy named Sosuke rescues a goldfish named Ponyo, and they embark on a fantastic journey of friendship and discovery before Ponyo's father, a powerful sorcerer, forces her to return to her home in the sea. But Ponyo's desire to be human upsets the delicate balance of nature and triggers a gigantic storm. Only Ponyo's mother, a beautiful sea goddess, can restore nature's balance and make Ponyo's dreams come true.
Ponyo is a sweet tale brought to us by Studio Ghibli about a boy named Sosuke and his fishy friend Ponyo as they have watery adventures and discover the power of love and friendship. The animation is beautifully rendered. Of course, there are no naughty bits or gore to speak of -- just family-friendly fishy fun. And, with Disney's ability to bring top-notch talent to the English dub, Ponyo is just as good in English as it is in Japanese. Overall, Ponyo was both entertaining and beautiful to watch. I would give Ponyo a 3 out of 5.
