This is the second Hayao Miyazaki film I have seen. I think his style is growing on me, but there are still things that, admittedly, I don't get, particularly the way the plots of his films play out. The animation, on the other hand, is absolutely astounding. It really is unlike anything I've ever seen, and that fact alone makes Spirited Away and Ponyo (the only two I've seen) worth watching.
Ponyo is based on Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid," although Miyazaki takes some artistic liberty with the details of the story. In a way, I am not really sure what to make of this film. Everyone else seems to love it, and I can certainly see its merit, especially visually. I think I would have liked it more as a child.
