External critics' reviews
The Hollywood Reporter Deborah Young
It is a work of great fantasy and charm that will delight children ages 3 to 100. more
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
There is a word to describe Ponyo, and that word is magical. This poetic, visually breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators has such deep charm that adults and children will both be touched. more
San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub
One of Miyazaki's most kid-accessible movies, but still an unnerving film. more
Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
Best of all, Ponyo never ceases to be a genuine odyssey in short pants. more
Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
Don't tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic kingdom. more
Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
You'll be planning to see Ponyo twice before you've finished seeing it once. Five minutes into this magical film you'll be making lists of the individuals of every age you can expose to the very special mixture of fantasy and folklore, adventure and affection. more
The New York Times Manohla Dargis
The latest masterwork from Hayao Miyazaki, places emphasis on the natural world, its tumults and fragility. more
The A.V. Club Tasha Robinson
It's essentially a stroll through a fantastically detailed pastel world, in which the plot is little more than an excuse for Miyazaki to dive into a world teeming with colorful (and sometimes prehistoric) life. more
Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
A marvel. more
Film Threat Mark Fulton
Imagination spills across the screen in a bold, undeniable presence. more
