Critical Response
"Beautiful film made even more beautiful by this incredible Blu-ray production from Madman. I would give this release 6 out of 5 if I could. If you enjoy animation and have a Blu-ray player buy this disc immediately." - Michael DVD
"... it's hard to imagine a better kids' movie than PONYO. Magic." Alex Lucas, EMPIRE
"Miyazaki's breathtakingly expressive hand-drawn images capture the joyous adventure of childhood so acutely that it brings tears to the eyes. He treats children with the kind of respect they deserve, he has faith in them... It really is a must-see." Pier Leach, SUBIACO POST
