Jun 24 2009'Ponyo' Trailer: Aquaman Meets Multiple Man Meets Little Freaky Dude Meets Fish
Hiyao Miyazaki is the man responsible for such animated classics as Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and My Neighbor Totoro, so he's no stranger to making freakish creatures seem endearing. This summer, he'll continue that tradition as he asks us to fall in love with a weird little sea monkey of a freak--a child-like, aquatic mutant apparently able to replicate itself and ride on magic fish--as we behold it's struggle to save this unbalanced world. I guess it's sort of an amphibious Jesus:
Those lines Liam Neeson reads really evoke images of Liam Neeson in a studio reading his lines.
(Thanks, Breanna.)

It's already been out some time in Asia, so I've seen it. It's not bad, I just don't think it's Miyazaki's best. It's cute, the colors, animation, music, are all good, it just feels like a weak effort from Miyazaki. Still way better than "Porco Russo" though...

Another hilarious post! As for the movie, I want to love it, because I hear it will be Miyazaki's last, but it... really doesn't look that great.
