True to Miyazaki's style, the characters feel like real people, living real lives. From the main characters to those we only see for a single scene, everyone seems to be good-hearted and loving. Miyazaki really knows how to depict the innocence and joy of being a child, in a way that I don't think many do.
The soundtrack of Ponyo complements the story perfectly, and really adds to the overall sweet, lovely "vibe" of the film. Everything about the film is wholesome, and it just makes you feel good. For anyone wanting to smile, you should give Ponyo watch.
