Ponyo

CriticsCritics: 89
AudienceAudience: 7.8

A young boy living above the sea rescues a stranded goldfish and forms an unexpected friendship with her. As she longs to become human, her escape from the ocean brings playful chaos and magical consequences to the boy’s coastal community.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, colorful fantasy with childlike wonder and heartfelt friendship, especially if you like My Neighbor Totoro; Not for you if you prefer complex plots or intense danger.
