What did Bor on the animated cliff say?

Five-year-old Zong Jie and his mother Lisa live on a cliff in a small village by the sea. As the captain's father went to sea all the year round, only Sosuke and his mother were left. Therefore, the five-year-old Sosuke was over-aged and sensible since he was a child, and he also knew the responsibility of forming a family.

Take care of mother instead of father. One day, while playing on the rocky beach under the cliff, he found a mermaid Bonio, whose head was trapped in a glass bottle. Sosuke saved Ponyo and raised her in a green plastic bucket.

Film evaluation

Accustomed to Hollywood CG animation, there will be some criticisms about two-dimensional animation with relatively weak expressive force. However, the audience can only sigh that Miyazaki Hayao's brushes are colorful, just like being enchanted. The sea and fish in the film are distinct, and the queen of the sea is glittering and dazzling. Coupled with Joe Hisaishi's music, the expressive force is undiminished.

But in the final analysis, after a series of attempts and innovations, animation master Miyazaki Hayao began to return to the original. Compared with rich stories, the attempt or abandonment of new technologies, the clever setting and diversity of roles, simplicity may be the ultimate truth.
