Critic Reviews
An out-and-out charmer. It's almost impossible to do justice in words either to the visual richness of the movie, which melanges traditional Japanese clothes and architecture with both Victorian and modern-day artifacts, or to the character-filled storyline, with human figures, harpies and grotesque creatures.Read the full review

Director Hayao Miyazaki treats his audience as imaginative and intelligent human beings, rather than catering to kids with rote displays of silliness, stunts and scares.Read the full review

Monday Night Poll: Your Favorite Miyazaki?
08/24/09 Moviefone I was a little underwhelmed by Hayao Miyazaki's latest work, Ponyo , which seemed to me more cutesy and less dazzlingly expansive than what I am used to from the Japanese master of gorgeous cel animation. | Cinematical.com -

08/24/09 Based on the anticipation, the admiration for Fumi Yoshinaga's Antique Bakery, and based on the quality of the work, I'm confident that Ooku will be a contender for the most praised manga release of the season, and I wouldn't be shocked if it's the overwhelming favorite. | Ain't It Cool News
