      Don't tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic kingdom.

      There is a word to describe Ponyo, and that word is magical. This poetic, visually breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators has such deep charm that adults and children will both be touched.

      Best of all, Ponyo never ceases to be a genuine odyssey in short pants.

      It’s essentially a stroll through a fantastically detailed pastel world, in which the plot is little more than an excuse for Miyazaki to dive into a world teeming with colorful (and sometimes prehistoric) life.
