New DVD Movies

When it comes to animation films only two names come to mind – Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki. The latter has made some really good animated movies like “Spirited Away” and “Princess Mononoke”. So much was expected from Ponyo. However, the film is a big letdown. The kids might like the film as it is an anime but the adults will straight away reject it. The plot has no character and there is not a single wherein the film can earn some real good points.

The film is loosely based on “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Anderson. The film is about a goldfish which yearns to become a girl so that he can live with the human boy with whom she has fallen in love. A simple story of love that should have been made in to a great movie.

The film is an utter disappointment to the Miyazaki fans. He has directed classics like “Spirited Away” and “Howl’s Moving Castle” but he seems to have faltered while making this movie. The animation will not enthrall you and there is a good chance that people will get bored after the initial half an hour or so.

The script of the film, Ponyo should have been well-written. The film lacks punch because of a weak script. Ponyo is one such glaring example. But there are some scenes which show signs of brilliance. There is a scene in which we see Ponyo taking a human form and running along a huge wave that resembles a giant fish. This one should be liked a by all. But a disappointment still lingers – he was definitely capable of making a better film than what Ponyo really is.

Ponyo(Noah Cyrus) is a small fish who leaves her home and father(Liam Neeson), a magical sea guardian, to explore the wide world. She gets caught in a trash and is swept ashore in to the hands of Sosuke(Frankie Jonas), a 5 year old boy. The two starts to like each other and one day she accidentally tastes a drop of Sosuke’s blood which changes her to a sweet little girl. Her father makes a failed attempt to arrest the changes. Ponyo breaks free and heads for the surface.

A lot of incidents take place after Ponyo heads for the surface. The tides are rising and the moon is coming closer. But why? The love between Ponyo and the boy must be successful to stop all these. The premise is so stupid that I suggest you don’t watch this movie at all. If you really decide to have a go then watch Ponyo online free.

I am hopeful that the children will love the movie but I cannot vouch for the adults. They need to wait for the next product of Mr Miyazaki to feel happy.
