Ponyo


I went to see this because I love Hayao Miyazaki's films. Although Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle and a couple others can be more for adults than children, Ponyo was definitely for a younger crowd. This movie was a Miyazaki retelling of Hans Christian's Little Mermaid. This movie was so adorable and filled with so much imagination. The style of this movie was visually different. The background cells looked like pencil crayon somewhat the style of a friend of mine and water colour for the animation. The orchestra added to the magic and excitement of the story. The way Ponyo always nods off is so life-like that it steals your heart. Miyazaki never fails to entertain and tell beautiful stories.
