Ponyo

This poetic, visually breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators has such deep charm that adults and children will both be touched.

...another conceptually and thrilingly original masterstroke from an animator who long ago left Walt Disney in the dust...

...older kids and even adults are unlikely to get bored, thanks to the story’s unforced sweetness, giddy highs, and stunningly beautiful visuals. Even in the unspoiled Devonian, real life never looked this good.

At its heart, Ponyo is a film about a global catastrophe no less destructive than the shifting plates and rising waters of 2012. But the apocalypse has seldom seemed so light, joyous or tender.

...feels like pure Miyazaki, a return to 'Spirited Away' form.

...has all of this film-maker's unworldliness and charm.
