Don't tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic kingdom.

The latest masterwork from Hayao Miyazaki, places emphasis on the natural world, its tumults and fragility.
You'll be planning to see Ponyo twice before you've finished seeing it once. Five minutes into this magical film you'll be making lists of the individuals of every age you can expose to the very special mixture of fantasy and folklore, adventure and affection.
There is a word to describe Ponyo, and that word is magical. This poetic, visually breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators has such deep charm that adults and children will both be touched.
It is a work of great fantasy and charm that will delight children ages 3 to 100.
Though targeted at tots, Ponyo may appeal most to jaded adults thirsty for wondrous beauty and unpackaged innocence
Miyazaki creates fascinating, fluid and whimsical scenarios.
