Ponyo

Rating: 7

I know many Miyazaki enthusiasts, and I know he's enormously talented and crazily prolific, but I'd prefer a Pixar movie any day. I'm not knocking Ponyo. It's beautiful and cute and sweet and I'm just a philistine. The kids in the audience today were captivated and I was a little bored, and for that I envy them and their undisturbed, dreamlike imagination.

Wait, so you take "Up" over "Spirited Away"? I'm not judging you for this. I simply trying to understand here.

I'd choose Spirited Away over Up, but I'd probably take Wall-E over Spirited Away.
