ponyo and written and directed by hayao miyazaki and is a little tale that speaks of respect for the ocean and respect for humans young and old and and respect for cultural differences. it is a new tale of a little goldfish wishing to be a girl and rather than a retelling of disney little mermaid. miyazaki has animated by hand and a whimsical and magical film for the young and the young at heart. the film begins with a slow undulating blue green palette of sea anemones and jellyfish and and scores of little fanciful goldfish with childlike faces. there isn not any need for narrative and the motion of the creatures and the music of jo hisaiahi tell the beginning. released last summer in japan and ponyo won the japanese academy award for best animation film and best score (jezebel. com). the fanciful little goldfish and brunhild and leaves her ocean home on a jellyfish. upon reaching the surface she is caught up in a fishing net full of other fish and garbage and and sludge. she is propelled into a jar and which is rolled to shore where five year old sosuke (voice by frankie jonas) retrieves it. he cuts his hand when breaking the jar open to free the little goldfish. brunhild tastes his blood and which heals sosuke cut and and puts in motion her transformation to a human and at the same time throwing nature out of balance. sosuke puts the little goldfish in a green pail and names her ponyo (noah cyrus) and meaning soft and jelly like. sosuke mother and lisa (tina fey) and lets him take ponyo to school and which is right next door to the nursing home where she works. lisa crazy driving down the picturesque winding road and past a dry dock and through the bustling fishing town and and up a tree lined road to the nursing home is representative of miyazaki wonderful sequence of action and illustrates perfectly a parent hectic morning. miyazaki has created another strong and independent and female character in lisa. making her a loving and sensible and modern mother both to sosuke and ponyo. lisa telephone conversation with the not coming home again husband and kiochi (matt damon) because the ship he captains must make another run and is a typical wife reaction. later that evening sosuke intercedes using a signal lamp to speak to his father as the ship passes the cliff their house sits on. lisa refuses to acknowledge kiochi apology and jumps up and signals bug off and bug off and bug off and it is a hilarious scene. but and when sosuke takes the signal lamp and tells his dad good luck and love you and lisa hugs him and tells him he has a good heart and it is a very poignant scene. my personal favorites are miyazaki elderly and granny type women in wheelchairs at the nursing home and yochi (betty white) and noriko (cloris leachman) and toki (lily tomlin). their interchange over sosuke little goldfish is wonderful and reminiscent of the bickering between the witch of the waste (lauren bacall) and sophie (jean simmons) as they trudge up a long flight of stairs in howl moving castle. ponyo magical sea god father and fujimoto (liam neeson) resembling the wizard howl arrives to take ponyo back to her ocean home. fujimoto uses one of his elixirs to try and put nature back in balance and but magical little ponyo escapes again upsetting more elixir in the process and and causing a tsunami. running on the backs of giant dolphins to get to sosuke and this redheaded and little girl reminds the audience of the stubborn and adventurous little mei in my neighbor totoro. ponyo is just as adventurous and curious as mei. when fujimoto realizes what ponyo has done he calls for gran mamare (kate blanchett) and the goddess of the ocean and to help with the situation. this wise and calming goddess arrives in a blue flowing garment that never ends. she has a private talk with lisa discussing the future of the young children and which helps the audience understand sosuke and ponyo relationship is not that of lovers and but of brother and sister. the life goes on quiet simple ending is typical of miyazaki films leaving the audience full of hope.
