If you are going to watch this movie expecting the next Spirited Away, then prepare to be disappointed. Ponyo is a movie that is purely aimed at kids. The story is easy to follow, and kids can easily relate to the characters. That being said, this is the ideal movie to watch with your kid(s) on a boring Sunday-afternoon.
For the rest this movie has the typical fairytale-like storytelling that you can expect from a movie by Hayao Miyazaki. There are no dark twists or anything though, instead Ponyo is a very upbeat movie from beginning to end. There are also no real villains in this movie.
I would not recommend watching Ponyo by yourself because the story isn't really particularly interesting for adults. However, if you have kids then they will probably have a great time watching Ponyo.
