With many a winsome tummy-poke and nose-wiggle, Miyazaki takes us through the familiar story: living in a little cliff-top house, Sosuke befriends the fish, names it Ponyo, takes it to school, but is heartbroken when Fujimoto manages to get Ponyo back. At this point, Miyazaki takes an unexpected lurch into Godzilla territory: Ponyo manages to unleash Fujimoto's entire store of elixir, causing the seas to boil and giant prehistoric fish to take over the flooded land.
Miyazaki's central concern here is clearly to fuse the fairy tale with a parable about the precariousness of environmental balance. He wraps everying up in a fluffy bundle of niceness by the end, taking his cue from Disney rather than Andersen's sombre original. The Hong Kong Blu-Ray looks fantastic, sounds great, english subtitles are fine, and it's half the price of the Japanese Blu-Ray so I highly recommend ordering this version of the Blu-Ray if you are looking to purchase this film.
And don't worry, the chances of this coming out in North America are so so low, so you don't have to worry about a licensed American version coming out. Do you think this review was helpful? Choose Yes No. As always, the blu ray transferred was done perfectly, great sound , colourful and beautiful picture quality.
Story wise, it's quite touching for me, which is telling a girl's life, who patiently await for his father return, who serve as country sailor in the war. Between, something wonderful happen in her life which she met a nice guy she loves, but things happen, I am not gonna spoil anything here, u just have find out yourself if you wanna know the ending. Well, I would say this is a great piece of work from Miyazaki junior, as it deliver the emotional charge whenever it should be.
Enjoy it As a Miyazaki fans for so long, this is one of the best from his work, and this blu ray has an excellent transfer, pic quality and audio are superb too. Lovely coming of age movie. Good movie for old people like me to reminisce about the good old days in the countryside. There, five-year-old Sosuke lives with his young mother Lisa while his father, a sea captain, is away. The little fish Ponyo likes Sosuke, and ham sandwiches, so much that she sprouts arms and legs to stay with him.
The two children wake up in a watery world, and board a magical boat to hunt for Lisa and the ladies from the Senior Day Care Center where she works. By keeping his promise to love and protect Ponyo, Sosuke receives the blessing of her sea-goddess mother, allowing her to remain human.
Perhaps his most imaginative representation is the sea itself, which he transforms into a living, pulsating character. On another level, the sea can represent the subconscious mind bursting onto the land above.
The tender mother-child relationship of Sosuke and Lisa, and Ponyo and her radiant Mother of the Sea, strikes a deep chord of universality. Director: Hayao Miyazaki. Screenwriter: Hayao Miyazaki.
