Ponyo (2008) – Here, Miyazaki gives us just about everything we expect from him: spectacular visuals, a nice score, profound attention to detail, and his trademark charm and childlike wonder; however, there isn’t as much story as one might hope for, and the film isn’t as immersive as most of his other works (no pun intended) – this one’s more for small children; there’s also some rather overt commentary on Japanese fathers and husbands, and why is the kid calling his mom by her first name? 6
