For such a "gentle" movie, it packs a punch with the abundance of gorgeous visuals. I already want to see it again. I caught an afternoon showing that was attended by kids, their parents and animation fans of a wide age range. There were no crying toddlers, no kids running up and down the aisles, and most of the young ones sat through the entire end credits. Truly some magic going on. “Ponyo” is the rare movie that makes me feel completely immersed in magic and leaves me in awe of the power of the imagination.
