The animated feature is the latest from master animator Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle).
Visually, it's extraordinary; imaginatively, it's daring. Once again Hayao Miyasaki is playing in a league of his own with Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea, a sweet, gentle, moving, and always delightful Japanese take on the classic Little Mermaid fable. Commercially, it has the power to achieve everything Miyazaki's last feature Howl's Moving Castle garnered in 2004 (it is already matching those figures in Japan) and should play to exactly the same international demographic as Spirited Away.

Hayao Miyazaki’s latest animated epic, "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea," unfolds with a magic limpidity, teeming with imaginative transports that owe nothing to CGI. Effortlessly shuttling between sea, land and sky, this "Little Mermaid"-ish tale dives deep into the collective unconscious of Japan’s island culture, imagining a transparency between natural elements that promises salvation and apocalypse in equal measure. Though targeted at tots, "Ponyo" may appeal most to jaded adults thirsty for wondrous beauty and unpackaged innocence.
