There is a strong belief that Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki are masters of the same genre but born at different times. We have seen some beautiful animated films from the hands of Miyazaki like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Ponyo, however, is a major disappointment. There are a lot of loopholes in the plot and other deficiencies too which make this movie look really bad. Ponyo is actually an anime which might bore the young teens after a few minutes. It will be enjoyed by the kids only.
The film is inspired by Hans Christain Anderson's "The Little Mermaid". The plot of the film is thus: a goldfish falls in love with a human boy and she hopes to become a girl so that she can live with the boy happily ever after. It is a simple love story that has been poorly told.
This beautiful story could have been directed better but Mr. Miyazaki really disappoints. His other films such as "Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle" were all masterpieces. But Ponyo is nowhere these films. The animation is not all compelling and the audiences might find the film a little bit weird after the initial half hour.
The script is the weakling of the movie, Ponyo. A bad script always results in a bad film and Ponyo is no exception. But this does not mean that there are no good scenes in the movie. We must mention at least one which is really good - the one in which Ponyo takes the human form and runs from the giant Tsunami will actually leave speechless. But one good scene does not make a good movie. But we definitely expected a lot from the Japanese filmmaker.
Ponyo (Noah Cyrus), a juvenile fish leaves her father (Laim Neeson) behind to explore the wider world. Her father is a magical sea guardian. In her expedition she gets caught in some sort of human trash and is swept ashore to the loving hands of Sosuke (Frankie Jonas), a five year old boy. The two of them develops a liking for each other. One fine day she tastes a drop of Sosuke's blood which changes her into a little girl. Her father makes a valiant effort to stop the changes but fails to do so. Ponyo, on the other hand, does not listen to anybody and breaks free from the fishy world and head towards the surface.
A lot of incidents take place after Ponyo heads for the surface. The tides are rising and the moon is coming closer. But why? The love between Ponyo and the boy must be successful to stop all these. The premise is so stupid that I suggest you don't watch this movie at all. If you really decide to have a go then watch Ponyo online free.
The children will surely love this flick though I suggest that the adults stay away from it. There is nothing in thie movie that will excite them. A disappointing product from a great animation director. Hard to digest, really. - 23815
