YMMV / Ponyo on the Cliff by the Body of water

Get To

• Accidental Allusion: "I'd let a fish lick me if it'd become me outta this wheelchair."
• Americans Hate Tingle: Ponyo herself is pretty divisive to American audiences, due to her occasional gross-out nature and oddities throughout.
• Angst? What Angst?: Every single character seems remarkably nonchalant almost a catastrophic flood.
• Awesome Art: To be expected of a Studio Ghibli product, of grade, but Ponyo is specially notable in that none of the motion-picture show was animated with CGI, which makes its gorgeous blitheness even more than stunning.
• Base-Breaking Graphic symbol: The title graphic symbol herself Ponyo is this, particularly in America where much of her behavior that is meant to be cute tin can come up off more as creepy and gross. Fifty-fifty in Japan though she is rather divisive, with many feeling she an unsympathetic and selfish graphic symbol who endangers a lot of people (admitting unintentionally) with her actions.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Ponyo'due south stare-off with the baby. It's random.
• Broken Base: Ponyo, while a good motion picture in its own right, is occasionally considered divisive by several Studio Ghibli fans. Some call it their favorite movie, while others believe Ponyo to be i of the weakest good Studio Ghibli flick. It also doesn't aid that Ponyo too suffers from Award Snub; Spirited Away won the Best Blithe Feature honor, while Howls Moving Castle and The Air current Rises received nominations, but Ponyo was entirely ignored.
• Ensemble Dark Equus caballus: Fujimoto. Despite (or even because of) the fact that he'southward a henpecked, crotchety, and overprotective begetter, two-thirds of the small but growing fanwork base of operations involves him. It helps that he's voiced by Liam Neeson in the American dub.
• Fake Symbolism: A little girl who happens to be the daughter of a deity, running across the water.
• Germans Dearest David Hasselhoff: This anime film past Hayao Miyazaki based loosely on Hans Christian Andersen's Tear Jerker Fairy Tale The Little Mermaid was apparently popular in Denmark plenty due to the fact that Kingdom of denmark but gave it its ain Official Website.
• Inferred Holocaust: Let's hope that the moon existence a directly cause of the massive alluvion has no impact on the billions of lives across the world, or set humanity dorsum past centuries due to water beingness detrimental to most technology.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Respect your begetter!"
  • "Teeth!"
  • "HAM!"
  • The "Ponyo loves" fancomic, which has been cloned into many other fandoms. In it a character talks virtually the people and things they dear in an blithe fashion, only to get a serious face when introduced to an antagonistic/oppressive character and express their love of revolution.
• Narm:
  • Ponyo assaulting The Babe's face, The Babe's vocalization, talking nearly making milk for The Infant...
  • The dubbed ending song, both the normal and the remixed version.
• Narm Charm: Both of the to a higher place are about fitting due to how the picture show tends to run on child logic.
• Retroactive Recognition: Noah Cyrus voices Ponyo in the English dub.
• Squick: Ponyo occasionally engages in squicky behavior, like when she spits dirty water on Kumiko'south dress and snuggles a babe's face.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: When Ponyo and her sisters pause out of their tank, the music is earily similar to "Ride of the Valkyries", down to the limerick. This is probable a reference to Ponyo (and maybe her sisters as well) being named afterwards the most famous of the Valkyries, Brunhilde.
• Sugariness Dreams Fuel: Ponyo is hands Studio Ghibli'southward most feel-good movie with especially whimsical moments and an incredibly warm ending.
• Tastes Like Diabetes:
  • The theme song. The English version of the vocal segues into a rockier remix and is consequently less cute.
  • Pretty much the unabridged picture if you lot're not into that sort of thing, especially the ending shot.
• Uncanny Valley: Granmanmare evokes this due to her design being slightly more realistic than the traditionally Miyazaki-esque characters that environment her. Also, Ponyo'south inbetween human-and-fish grade.
• Values Racket:
  • Leaving v-twelvemonth-old children alone and unsupervised (in the eye of a typhoon, no less!) could be considered criminal neglect in some jurisdictions. Still, it can exist considered equally Lisa choosing the lesser of two evils — either bring them with her where they'd all easily be swept away by a particularly bad wave, or permit them stay on high ground in the insufficiently safe house.
  • The reason why she left them to go to the retirement abode may have been the movie'southward way of reflecting the Japanese value that the young should take care of the elderly, no matter the circumstances. A stiff example of Values Noise, especially since in Western civilization it's viewed every bit the other mode around.
• Viewer Gender Defoliation:
  • Ponyo, when nosotros first see her. As the picture show poster demonstrates, she starts out a human-like simply androgynous fish with goose egg communicating her gender.
  • Fujimoto. Some viewers weren't certain of his gender until he spoke his kickoff lines.
  • The baby that Ponyo meets has an unknown gender, although the English dub refers to the baby with male pronouns.
