Miyazaki har en sjælden poetisk og humanistisk tilgang til sine eventyr.

...feels like pure Miyazaki, a return to 'Spirited Away' form.

At its heart, Ponyo is a film about a global catastrophe no less destructive than the shifting plates and rising waters of 2012. But the apocalypse has seldom seemed so light, joyous or tender.

...older kids and even adults are unlikely to get bored, thanks to the story’s unforced sweetness, giddy highs, and stunningly beautiful visuals. Even in the unspoiled Devonian, real life never looked this good.

...has all of this film-maker's unworldliness and charm.
