Okay, as I stated before I thought I’d try something new and start reviewing movies, music and whatnot. Tonight’s first movie review is about Ponyo.

Now the creator of Ponyo is one of the most interesting animators out there. He’s done some of my favourites which include Kiki’s Delivery Service and Spirited Away. Ponyo is an interesting tale that was inspired by The Little Mermaid.

We first meet Ponyo when she’s swimming around her half-human father’s sub. Now, I fell in love with the father immediately. He’s a bit eccentric, but cares for the ocean and constantly mutters about the ‘disgusting humans’, and is generally a really sweet guy. It also helps that Liam Neeson does the voice acting for his role. Ponyo is seen swimming around with her littler tiny sisters. Her sisters are so cute and make cute ‘oooooyyoooo’ noises.

We find out that Ponyo, along with her sisters, are goldfish.

I won’t give the story away as I really urge people to watch it (that and I detest telling the entire story instead of people being able to enjoy it by watching it). The movie was deliciously cute for me, and I really enjoyed all the interactions each character had. I will also say that I adored the father when the mother appeared. Ponyo was adorable as a goldfish, but even more so when she was in human form.

I definitely recommend this movie to people who collect Disney movies, enjoy anime, and just like a good movie if they’re a child at heart. It really is a child friendly movie, and the animation in the opening credits were something I found very interesting and original.

HAM!!!!
