Ponyo!

Ok.  Hayao Miyazaki, his movies are legendary.  He  is legendary, and he keeps on churning out legends, his latest is called Ponyo.  This isn't the most action packed movie in the world, but is simply adorable.  The introduction looks like it was ripped straight out of a drawing you made with crayons as a kid.  

Anyone who has seen a Hayao Miyazaki movie will instantly recognize his easily distinguished art style, it's as spectacular as ever.  Despite a lack of action, that's fine, the sheer creativity of the movie more than makes up for that.  I particularly liked how the waves took the form of a swarm of giant fish worked out, because you could still think they're vicious waves; but they are also fish.  The color in some of the scenes, like the first scene after the introduction catches your eye and instantly makes you want to say, "Woah."

Beautiful animation aside, I couldn't help but notice the story was a little bit The Little Mermaid-esk.  Now it's not a total rip off, the conflict is basically the same, water dweller falls in love with human and wants to be human.  Anything that is not that is all Ponyo.  What makes me love them movie so much, is that every waking moment of the movie it makes you want to:

a) smile

b) go "AAAAAAW!!!"

c) both

Words can't describe this movie, mainly because I think this movie delves deep into your mind and reminds you of your own childhood.  No one's childhood is the same, and Ponyo reminds you of the best memories of your childhood and when you walk out of that movie theater you will think to yourself, "I love that movie."
