Ponyo

The first three quarters of this film is amazing, so fun and vibrant, full of action, adventure, and so much colour. The quality of the narrative takes a significant dip at the end through the choice between the old lady and evil man, in a way it makes sense but given the direction and highlighted narrative elements throughout the film like Sosuke's parents, Ponyo's parents, polluted oceans driving the antagonist's hatred towards humans. It feels like it could have culminated in a more dramatic and fitting ending.
