Maybe I'm going thought a negative voting phase, but it sure seems like I've been voting pretty harshly lately. That or I'm just getting tired of Hayao Miyazaki's animated films, because I just didn't think this one warranted better than a 7/10. It is actually one of the most exciting and action packed films by Miyazaki and I think kids would really like this one a lot.An interesting side note on this film is Disney's somewhat obvious attempt to hold back their competition. They bought the rights to the Miyazaki films and took over two years to dub this into English. It killed the marketing campaign and limited American exposure to this film. Disney seems to be embracing the success of the Miyazaki catalog and released the American dubbed version of Ponyo in less than month after the Japanese release.
Back to this film. It is a fantasy about a floating castle. The government wants to harness it's power, the pirates want its money, the girl is the princess of the castle trying to get home, and the boy is avenging his father's name and trying to prove it exists.
An exciting and well animated film. A little long clocking in at over two hours for a kids themed film is a bit much. If you like Miyazaki and Anime films you will probably like this one.
Vote: 7/10
