"Ponyo on the cliff by the sea" is available on youtube.com!

here´s part one:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFz9D3tVdwA&feature=PlayList&p=B469383508B9AFC1&index=0&playnext=1[/youtube]

it´s "only" a copy taken in a cinema, but of decent quality, and it´s the japanese original with a fan sub. but that´s alright, there isn´t that much crucial dialogue anyway.

get it while it´s online - if you can´t wait, like me.
it´s something like a japanese retelling of h.c. andersen´s "the little mermaid". add the typical miyazaki twist and sparkle and you get a wonderful story about the magical innocence of childhood, where everything is possible, if you are brave enough to fight for your friends. it´s more totoro/kiki than mononoke/chihiro and clearly aimed at an audience who´s young at heart, but an utterly charming and funny ride.

my only regret is that the movie isn´t longer, i would have loved to see more of Ponyo´s world!

As occasionally happens in Miyazaki films, I haven't the faintest hint what's going on, but it simply doesn't matter because the movie is so ridiculously beautiful.

Only watched Part I. Hopefully I'll have some time to relish the rest...

Ay, I'll resist the urge and wait for DVD or (yeah right) a US theatrical release.
