Ponyo

 This is a bizarre film. Of course, there is stunning and whimsical animation. It seems to be arguing against the destruction of nature, but the human characters don't learn anything about that in the film. The way that human characters act as also strange. There is a fish that looks like a baby that becomes a human and later introduces itself to a human character who knew her as a fish, and the human character is completely unfazed by this. In the end there is this bit about how the boy can choose to make the fish girl a real girl if he loves her, and he will do this by kissing her. She kisses him and becomes a girl, so it doesn't make any sense. It's enjoyable, I think that there are better films from this studio to watch.
