Ponyo

I cannot,

will not,
stop
watching
"Ponyo".


The kids keep watching it and I find myself standing there,

mesmorized,
after a half hour.


It's whimsical and beautiful
without being falsely so.


Garbage, pollution, industry are almost just as beautiful
as the dark and mysterious depths of the ocean.


Like I said,
MEMORIZING.
I could stare at Hayao Miyazaki's ocean for hours.

As much as I loved "The Little Mermaid" when it came out,
I'm pleased that my boys will grow up with Ponyo.
