There is a strong belief that Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki are masters of the same genre but born at different times. We have seen some beautiful animated films from the hands of Miyazaki like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Ponyo, however, is a major disappointment. There are a lot of loopholes in the plot and other deficiencies too which make this movie look really bad. Ponyo is actually an anime which might bore the young teens after a few minutes. It will be enjoyed by the kids only.

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.

This beautiful story could have been directed better but Mr. Miyazaki really disappoints. His other films such as “Spirited Away” and “Howl’s Moving Castle” were all masterpieces. But Ponyo is nowhere these films. The animation is not all compelling and the audiences might find the film a little bit weird after the initial half hour.

The script is the weakling of the movie, Ponyo. A bad script always results in a bad film and Ponyo is no exception. But this does not mean that there are no good scenes in the movie. We must mention at least one which is really good – the one in which Ponyo takes the human form and runs from the giant Tsunami will actually leave speechless. But one good scene does not make a good movie. But we definitely expected a lot from the Japanese filmmaker.

Ponyo (voiced by Noah Cyrus) is a baby fish who lives with her father (Liam Neeson), a magical sea guardian. She decides to leave her father and home behind to explore more of the world. In her little adventures she falls into a trash and is swept ashore. She is picked up by Sosuke (Frankie Jonas), a five year old boy. The two becomes friendly and starts liking each other. One day, by accident, she tastes a drop of Sosuke’s blood and she get changed to a little girl. Her father makes all kind of attempts to stop the changes but fails in every effort. Ponyo, on the other hand, is determined and breaks free from all of them. She 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.

Go ahead and Watch Ponyo over at Free Movies Online and for a limited time watch newly released movies and more.
