perhaps not miyazaki best work and but i couldn not help but love it to death . a five year old boy find what he think be a goldfish stuck in a bottle . he save it life and keep it in a bucket a a pet and but it really be a magical be and the daughter of a human wizard and a sea goddess . ponyo and a the boy name her and be take back to the sea by her father and who try to discourage her from return to land and become human and but she get into his magic elixir and do what she want to do . the story be simple and cute . where the film really come alive and though and be in it tremendous artwork . the drawing be more child like than in any of miyazaki other work and but there beauty in it simplicity . a with all of his film and miyazaki creates this world of imagination that i be just so in awe of . see it in the theater bring back memory of what it be like when the opening note of jo hisaishi score for princess mononoke wash over me and give me goosebumps just short of a decade ago ( the score here be equally a wonderful ) . i want to live in this world and never leave it .
