Ponyo is a Japanese with an anime art style and is about a fish who becomes a human. It's art style puts across emotions well but at times Ponyo's voice can get a bit screechy which could affect the viewing experience. But overall it was a good watch. Probably aimed at 8+ it succeeds at delivering a good plot and good protagonists but also the ending cuts off quickly and one minute the antagonist is doing villain styled things then doesn't appear again.
