Great for young kids and adults alike submitted by marielle on June 28, 2011, 5:34pm This is a beautiful and touching animated film about a goldfish who wants to be human. This is a great movie for very young children, but I watched it as an adult and loved it all the same.

Great submitted by drewy234432 on July 10, 2011, 9:58am I loved the movie. The story line was good although it reminded me of the little mermaid. I would recommend this movie to anyone who liked the little mermaid.

great movie submitted by jszchen on August 24, 2011, 6:59pm this is a fantastic movie

Not my favorite submitted by gxl on July 14, 2012, 8:58pm I didn't like this movie that much, but it was still pretty good. The art was amazing, but I didn't like the plot that much. :(

good submitted by joyjoy24 on July 25, 2012, 4:03pm that was good

Good submitted by i'm a blobfish on June 17, 2013, 12:55pm Sort of good, but not great comparing to other Miyazaki's movies.

HAM!!! submitted by waffoo2 on August 6, 2013, 9:07pm I love the energy the characters have. Such a great and inspirational movie. Guaranteed that everyone will love it. For people of all ages. :)

Fun movie submitted by kjshaffer on August 9, 2015, 9:05pm This is a movie to watch more than once. The visuals are great and the story is really cute. I loved seeing the Japanese scenery. It also gives insight into Japanese culture.

PONYO IS AWESOME submitted by imanmustafa on July 5, 2016, 3:15pm i love the movie SO MUCH! Its so beautiful and its not too sad, not too funny! :-D!!!!!!!!!

Very Interesting! submitted by merge0628 on August 30, 2016, 6:08pm The characters are so adorable!

Cute anime! submitted by Xris on June 16, 2018, 8:02pm Have shown this to my anime club at least twice. They love it!

Am@zinG submitted by Zaneeba on June 28, 2018, 8:08am i have been watching it ever since i was young. The film is about a fish named Ponyo who tries to become human and she succeeded. But her dad is an evil wizard and tries to keep her as a fish. Ponyo must use all of her strength if she is to stay human for a long time. At the end of the film Ponyo finaly becomes human for all eternity.

Weird Story submitted by dragon_rider13 on July 28, 2018, 7:27pm Ponyo is, like many Ghibli films, very beautiful, however, Ponyo has one of the strangest stories. The whole story is kinda weird, but I would still recommend!

Love submitted by Duckling on August 4, 2018, 11:03am This movie is super cute and I love it. It tackles many different topics, such as age, love, and environment. I recommend it to all families and adults and children! But beware the theme song it will get stuck in your head.

Just ok submitted by Josephin2.718 on August 8, 2018, 9:56pm I wouldn't consider this one of the top Studio Ghibli movies in terms of plot. The artwork was amazing, and I'd probably watch it again just for that. But the sroryline was not great.

***** submitted by shannonwait on August 9, 2018, 10:05pm A movie that was just beautiful to look at. I also loved Ponyo's character and her love of ham.

Cute! submitted by Smileyfrowns on August 20, 2018, 4:14pm This movie is so fun! The illustrations of the water and magical creatures are so stunning to look at. This is a good kids film as the plot is not too complicated, but also goes into ideas about family and friends.

Beautiful and Good for Kids submitted by dntanzer on August 31, 2018, 9:18am This is another lovely Studio Ghibli film. It's absolutely beautiful and creates an interesting world for children to explore. As an adult, it's not my personal favorite as I found it a little less exciting than other films, but it's still a great watch!

Cute submitted by pepemama on June 15, 2019, 10:12am Ponyo is very cute, I love this movie for its animation and the fairytale aspect to it.

Cute submitted by c_zhang on June 29, 2019, 12:51pm The animation was very cute, and I loved the plot. More light than some other Ghibli films.

Ponyo submitted by kkellis on July 22, 2019, 10:07pm A sweet story (based on the Little Mermaid) about a goldfish who falls in love with a little boy and wants to become a human. Fantastic animation, would you expect anything less from Studio Ghibli?

One of my favorites! submitted by Illiniwick07 on August 17, 2019, 8:19pm I love how Ponyo turns into a little girl, and the part when she runs into the window!

Good submitted by Lynne Aldrich on July 5, 2020, 1:18pm Cute movie

Awesome! submitted by irmcpherson on July 8, 2021, 9:11pm This is one of my favorite movie!!

Sweet and gorgeous submitted by lfmarcus on August 4, 2021, 11:59am Such a unique-feeling film that has refreshingly peaceful pacing and incredible animation.

So cute submitted by blancharddana on June 21, 2022, 2:47pm Fun story and cute animation!

cute story submitted by Bethybeth07 on August 3, 2022, 4:22pm While a tad odd, it's a wonderful story. I love the animation and theme.

super cute submitted by jwpark on August 7, 2022, 3:08am Amazing animation and a very cute, touching story.

Wholesome submitted by paserbamr on August 18, 2022, 10:34pm Reminds you of the kindness of humanity, especially children. Very touching
