Ponyo [Blu-ray]

As soon as my daughter saw Ponyo, she fell in love with it. She loves My Neighbor Totoro, The Cat Returns, Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service, so this was pretty much a safe bet with her. Getting the movie's already a good deal, but the plush Ponyo included here is of great quality, and easily beats any other Studio Ghibli plush I've seen [at least here in the US]. You can see right there in the stock picture how big Ponyo is since it's right next to the dvd in the packaging. It's made of a very soft, huggable material sure to comfort any child, and it's super cute. The material is easy to clean if anything gets dirty, and the construction is very sturdy. Of course there will be some issues with a longer 'skirt' here and there (that's quality control for you), but can you really turn away such a cute character even if it's suffering from such a thing? The plush Ponyo alone runs for about the cost of this set on most sites, so getting it included with the movie is great. While I would've liked them to give the blu-ray the same treatment, it's good to have on dvd since it's beautiful to watch on either format. And hey, most parents don't let 3 year olds handle 'expensive' movies, eh? The dvd includes the usual special features that other Studio Ghibli dvds have- an interview with Miyazaki, a short featurette and a storyboard presentation of the entire movie. This is always a very important special feature for those interested in animation, or like to see the movie in a different format and seeing how it came together before the animators stepped in. And of course, the movie's in Japanese and English with Japanese, English, Spanish and French subtitles. If you or your child(ren) love Ponyo, this is a must. I wish Disney would've given the recent re-re-releases of Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro the same kind of gift set. Now I'm kinda jealous that my daughter has her own Ponyo. Maybe I need to order one more?

What great deal it was around 17 bucks. I couldn't pass this amazing offer got about 5 more titles that were also on sale. Came well package, no damage, a d in excelente conditions. We already saw the movie I love ghibli films and Ponyo is my daughter's favorite so far. Also there's 2 disc a dvd and bluray version that is amazing i only though it was bluray so I'm happy about that.

Like all Miyazaki films, Ponyo is an adorable story - one you and your children are likely to remember for a lifetime. It's the story about a young goldfish who lives in the sea with many sisters, and her father, the alchemist, Fujimoto. Ponyo's mother is a beautiful sea goddess, Gran Mamare who seems to belong more to the sea than to her family, although she's there when they need her. Ponyo is a very curious goldfish, and one day, while out exploring, she gets stuck in a jar. The jar floats up along the shore, where a little boy, Sosuke, finds the jar, and tries to get Ponyo out. Fujimoto goes out in search of Ponyo when he realizes she's missing, and as Sosuke is running up the hill to his house - where his mother has been calling him, Fujimoto notices that Sosuke is carrying her. He panics because he's not very fond of people, and fears what will be done to his daughter. Oh...did I mention Fujimoto is a man? LOL I think they explained that a bit in the movie, but not in any great detail. After Sosuke finds Ponyo, she falls in love with her, and she wants to become a human girl. So that I don't ruin it all, I'll just tell you that the Sea Goddess has the power to make it happen, but it depends on whether Sosuke can love Ponya enough to make it happen. Ponyo is a wonderful movie - esp if you have children. We have kids ages 20 - 8, and they all will sit and watch a Miyazaki movie. Our first Miyazaki movie was "Our Neighbor Totoro" My Neighbor Totoro (Two-Disc Special Edition) We first bought it in the VHS tape version, and later bought it in the DVD version - which we usually watch several times a year, and often take with us on vacation. Delightful is a perfect word to describe these movies. Our kids like all of the movies, but my favorites are Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service Kiki's Delivery Service: Special Edition - 2-Disc DVD , and now Ponyo! Ponyo (Two-Disc Special Edition + Plush Toy) We bought the 2 disk special edition with the Ponyo soft toy. Highly recommended!

Super maar dat wist ik al

何回も何回も見ています。 癒されます

Edición Italiana de esta maravillosa película del Estudio Ghibli y hasta la fecha penúltimo film como director de Hayao Miyazaki. La calidad de imagen es prácticamente pixel perfect y tiene un salto enorme respecto a la que mostraba el DVD editado por AURUM. La película contiene audio en perfectisimo castellano y unos extras no demasiado extensos con subtitulo en nuestro idioma. La película, con una clasificación "recomendada especialmente para la infancia" puede ser disfrutada por personas de todas las edades y no tan solo fans de la animación nos cuenta una especie de versión moderna de la Sirenita con ecos de reivindicación ecologista a modo de pinceladas en un guion maravilloso y que te dejara con una sonrisa en la cara al acabar el metraje. Decir que esta totalmente animada a mano y que tiene alguna de las escenas mas apabullantes que he visto en una cinta del estilo en AÑOS (esos fondos marinos, Ponyo cabalgando las olas.. etc) Recomendable y recomendada!

Più universale rispetto ad altri film di Miyazaki, in cui la cultura e tradizione giapponese ha una impronta maggiore, il film è realizzato con una cura maniacale a tutti i particolari ed è esteticamente piacevolissimo. La storia dell'amicizia tra due bambini è a tratti commovente. Adulti e bambini lo apprezzeranno per motivi diversi. Non mancano avventura e colpi di scena, humour e magia.

I loved this Ponyo steelbook DVD+Blu Ray combo! It has the film in both formats, with all the available dubbing. The visual and artistic qualities of this film are top tier. It's a very moving tale. There's tons of bonus content for fans to watch, including interviews with Miyazaki, documentary exerpts of the location that inspired him to make Ponyo and a lot more! This steelbook also comes with a booklet ( like all the other Ghibli steelbooks ) with some words about the movie, its significance, etc... Yes, it is a bit more expensive that other animated films, but it's totally worth it. There is a lot of love that was put in this movie. I highly recommend it for both adults and children.
