Right, I have only a few things to say about this film as not much happened and what did happened made close to little sense. Ponyo really confused me a lot of the me as not much was explained, things just happened without out any cause or reason. because of this I didn't really enjoy the film as much as I could've. I had high hopes for the film as studio Ghibli normally produces a great animated film ( despite them being about very similar films 99% of the time) . in my opinion I wouldn't recommend this film to many people as it simply made very little sense as to why things were happening as I've said before. Anyway that just about wraps up my review for Ponyo by Studio Ghibli .
