This film is a total piece of shit. I cannot find anything redeeming or even watchable.
Having grown up with Miyazaki films, I have found a tendency to think that each respective film's theme song shows whether or not I will like the film. And this movie's song, is terrible. It is the little girl who does Ponyo's voice and some old man whom I don't know. When the film was released, this pair went on TV frequently and sang with the crowd totally into it. But this is a horrible song. However, it is the culture of Japan that accepts and promotes a shitty song just because it is the theme song of a Miyazaki film. However, nevertheless, the quality of the song mirrors that of the film. The visuals of the film is like a storybook background with animated characters. It does not fit. Both the visuals and the story do not work at all. All of it, is down right horrible. Sad, but true.
