ok, this trailer is insane, so we’ll have to trust the opinions of those who’ve seen the movie in Venice, and try to ignore the maniacal promo song that turns it into ‘Barney on the Ledge without Ritalin.’
“the film is a visual treat. Shapes shift, objects and characters assume new forms; breathtakingly, Ponyo’s goldfish sisters become crashing, fish-shaped waves. The draughtsmanship is jaw-dropping, and Miyzaki’s ability to express extremes of emotion in his child characters without resorting to sentimentality or treacly music is remarkable.” (Telegraph, UK)
“All of Miyazaki‚Äôs films have their own blithe disregard for narrative logic, but Ponyo is as chaotic and exuberant as a story told by a hyperactive toddler who has just been mainlining Fruit Shoots. (The Times, UK)
“Ponyo is firing on all cylinders on every level. From the sheer creativity of its traditional cel animation to its characterisations (every adult here feels real); the interactions between old and young; the untrammelled imagination on display throughout the story; and, above all, the way Miyazaki still dares to be different.” (Screen Daily)
