Ponyo is the story of a tiny mermaid who runs away from home only to end up in the bucket of a young boy who assumes she's a goldfish (despite her obviously humanlike face). Her father, Fujimoto, a human who now shuns humans and lives beneath the ocean tries to retrieve Ponyo using various water based magic at his disposal. Ponyo has other ideas in mind as she uses her own magic to try and become an actual human girl. Unfortunately all of this mucking around has created a rift in reality that threatens to bring complete disaster on everyone.
If you've watched more than a few Miyazaki films you'll notice that like Walt Disney he has a particular artistic style that the animators at Studio Ghibli adhere to. The first thing I noticed about Ponyo was that the art seemed a somewhat different. It's a bit rougher or perhaps more simplistic, particularly with the characters of Ponyo and her father Fujimoto, than what I've seen in previous movies like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. The backgrounds by contrast are absolutely lush and gorgeous and retain the dreamlike quality that is a trademark of Miyazaki films. Most of the film takes place in charming little coastal city in Japan based on the actual city of Tomonoura. The rest is underwater and it is positively glorious. It absolutely teams with life and naturally this is all hand drawn animation. It's almost impossible these days to find animation that is 100% hand drawn but unless I am mistaken there is not a CGI frame to be seen in the film. I have to applaud the effort of the animators here in drawing some if the most dynamic, vibrant images ever.
Miyazaki, like Pixar, has never produced a bad or even mediocre film only varying degrees of great. I felt that Howl's Moving Castle was below average on the Miyazaki scale and Ponyo is only somewhat better. My wife, on the other hand, felt that that Ponyo was every bit as good as Miyazaki's very best. For me the weakness was in the story which had a flaw or two. In particular it was hard to draw a distinction between what was supposed to be reality and what was supposed to be fantasy. Let me just say that the town in the movie undergoes a dramatic event, one which would generally be an utter disaster and yet here there seems to be no harm done. It's kind of like when Wily Coyote falls of a cliff and creates that ring of dust only to be up and around in the next scene. Miyazaki is generally pretty consistent in his stories and in this case it was hard to tell the boundaries. I also felt that the animation wasn't as strong as in the previous three Miyazaki films save for the backgrounds which are absolutely top notch. I don't regret for one second adding this film to my personal collection sight unseen and any nitpicking doesn't take away from the fact that this is a great film.
This is the story of a small fish who escapes from the submarine of her father (a sea-wizard) and happens to taste a drop of blood from a young boy and becomes human-like for a while. The boy, Sosuke, names her Ponyo, and the main story is all about the friendship and love that develops between the two of them (and Ponyo's fondness of all things human, like ham sandwiches, of all things). But their relationship also disrupts the natural balance between sea and land, and disasters in the form of floods and a typhoon loom to threaten everyone, not just the innocent friends. So the story is not just about a developing friendship, but the responsibilities that come along with that, to the people in the fishing village, to the elderly people in the retirement home (where Sosuke's mother works), to the creatures in the ocean, and beyond that to the planet itself. All, of course, is resolved in the end.
Beyond the story, however, Ponyo has some of the most amazing animation scenes, especially of the raging waves that lash the shore in a typhoon, coming alive into wild creatures of fury. I thought this might not translate so well to a smaller screen, but I was not disappointed. The disc is really a beautiful rendering. You can turn down the sound and still have a fine time simply viewing the animation, one beautiful image after the other.
Some who've seen Miyazaki movies before may get a sense of deja vu - Ponyo seems a lot like Mai from Totoro,
the Sea Wizard seems a lot like Miyazaki's other long-nosed European-ish characters in Howl's Moving Castle, and there are many other similarities too numerous to mention. But what do you expect - it's the same artists doing the drawing (and yes, this is hand drawn animation at its best), so you'd expect some stylistic similarities. But there is enough new here to surprise and delight, and if you've never seen a Miyazaki movie before, then it will all be new.
The one thing I dislike is the silly English translation of the theme song at the end, so I greatly appreciate that the disc retains the original Japanese soundtrack, where the original is much more appropriate. The extras on the 2nd disc are nice for Miyazaki fans, but it's the movie itself that is the real value here.

Steelbook case is a nice touch, however this case, like the others, came with dents and scratches despite being wrapped in plastic.
The discs came perfect, which is the important part.
Played well in my Xbox One X, with Japanese and English audio and captions.
