Ponyo

Review-For those of you that don't know Ponyo if a Japanese film by director Hayao Miyazaki. His movies are big in Japan and the last couple ones he's made have made it over to art houses subtitled. Which is how I prefer to watch my Japanese animation. Ponyo this time is getting a full distribution treatment by Disney. It is dubbed, which usually I mind, but Disney does a good job of getting the right actors and probably having high production values. I can definitely say that it is the best dubbed anime I have ever watched. Ponyo is a great family film and I would recommend it for all ages. It's about a 5 year old boy that catches this little fish princess and thinks it's a goldfish. Her father is some sort of sea god and tries to get her back and it's about how she becomes enamored with him and tries to find her way back. Its well done and quite touching. This movie is overflowing with cuteness, not Teletubbie freaky cuteness, but the good kind. I watched it with my 12 year old niece and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. So go check it out.
