    PONYO - SWEPT ME ALONG! Rating: 94 out of 100. (Based on advance press preview)

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    PONYO is a 1hr 41min animated movie by animation maestro and master story-teller/director, Hayao Miyazaki - winner of 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for SPIRITED AWAY.
    PONYO - Miyazaki-san's labor of love is dazzlingly fantastic, visually strikingly, vivid, down-right charming, full of symbolism and wonder.

    The simple plot is a tale of love and acceptance - injected with an environmental message which has become a trademark of Miyazaki-san. He wove his magic into the story and churned-up a nice balance of fantasy and reality, magic and the mundane - capturing our attention and holding us spellbound with the delightful visual smorgasbord - yet somehow manage to remind us that we are responsible for the state of our environment.

    The most memorable scene of this gorgeous movie is of PONYO scampering on the crests of giant waves.

    VERDICT:
    Highest quality hand-drawn animation.
    A true work of art - lovingly crafted.
    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
    Actual GRADE: SOLID A

    Cute, happy, beautiful

    by jmvanderpol

    This film, though obviously for young children, was a great watch. From the second Ponyo emerges she will keep you captivated. The scenes are beautifully stylized with a fun and cheerful feel. There are cute subtleties in each scene that keeps you looking and attentive. With whimsical additions thrown in at every corner each scene is a gem. The voice acting, though in English, is well done. Each major character has definite, visible growth. The story line is cute and simple, without being boring. It has all the things you need in a great animated film. I highly suggest anyone who enjoys these things described, to go see it.

    Ponyo is truly lovely

    by mahmut-orphu

    This movie is absolutely the best kids movie ever, even better than Wall-e, and we love Wall-e! Ponyo captures the innocence of childhood. You get caught up in the magic, seeing the world through the eyes of a child and you end up missing those wondrous times. Hayao Miyazaki is a master.

    One of Miyazaki's most kid-accessible movies, but still an unnerving film.

    Don't tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic...
