Yes, it’s true. The newest film from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli finally releases today here in the U.S. Known as “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea” in Japan, the American release has been shorted to just “Ponyo.” The film will be released simultanously on both DVD and Blu-ray, but sadly Disney has chosen to screw Blu-ray fans by denying them the chance at something similiar to the special deluxe DVD edition release that comes complete with a cute Ponyo plushie.
Anyway, the film looks to be awesome and set to be another classic. I suggest you run out and score yourself a copy today…even if it means pushing down that old woman in the video store who was just wanting a copy for her kids to watch tonight. Not that I’m saying I did anything like that. I’m just saying that old biddy was trying to keep me from my Ponyo and she got what was coming to her…
YAYY! I liked that movie quite a bit. Probably even more than my kids. XD
I especially liked the storm scene! On of my fav parts of any Miyazaki film. Overall though I thought the story was very disjointed… weird for one of his movies. Still a great movie though.
Sadly, I received it on Wed from Netflix, but haven’t watched it yet. I had heard it didn’t do as well as some of his other movies and that he was disappointed by the feedback. In fact, he’s even said he might consider putting off retirement or something to that effect.
As for disjointed films, have you ever seen Pom Poko? That movies was a dog. I barely made it through it and it put my wife to sleep. Definitely not one of his better efforts =^_^;;=
