i have recently watch this film and and have decide to comment on it . the best way to watch this film be to not expect what you have see in the past by miyazaki . miyazaki be well know for his work on on spirit away and howl move castle . well for western viewer anyway . both of them film be kind of similar to each other but at the same time completely different . however ponyo be a whole different type of story and animation all together . the story follow ponyo a fish that have the face a girl . after ponyo run away from her home at the bottom of the sea and she find a whole new world she never know be out there and and new trouble as well and when she almost catch by a fishing boat and she be rescue by a five year old boy know a sousuke . the story then follow the two of them and the pure friendship between a boy and a fish . can ponyo really stay with sousuke forever . i feel the movie be inspire by the little mermaid and at the same time similar to tonari no totoro the movie be very short and you have very little time to learn about the character in this movie . but the character a fish and a little boy so how much be you expect to learn about them . the film be set over about what seem to be 3 day and i think this be why the movie be so short . i really enjoyed watch this movie and i hope you all enjoy this movie as well .
