Ponyo is a story of innocence and pure love. It reminds you of The Little Mermaid but presented in a more unique and interesting way by master Hayao Miyazaki. Like all Miyazaki's work, Ponyo delivers a surreal yet very realistic plot that coveys a message about environmental struggles that we must heed. The immaculacy that Sosuke and Ponyo portrays highlights the era when the human race did everything out of pure happiness and love and I think, Miyazaki is nostalgic about the old times, when life was simple and unyielding to modern complications.
