Ponyo (2008). Japanese anime, translated into English, about a boy who captures an enchanted fish which he names Ponyo. Ponyo loves the little boy and wants to become human, but her wishes threaten to upset the balance of nature. I could detect no subtext which would make this movie especially appealing to adults -- it seems like a straight magical tale for children, well and beautifully told. It does have good subtitles, however. Grade: B+
