The movie had a less exciting end than what I was thinking. But overall I liked the movie and definitely found it way more charming than Whisker Me Away. I probably like Ponyo more.

The twist of the story is about halfway.
Though if she was an imposter, wouldn't rule one transform her?
Surely it can't just be the flower that allows her to do magic.
And what of the aunt knowing about the flower?
What a magical home.
The home is like an ancient magical version of a more modern smart home

The themes about loneliness are important and interesting, but the ending was uninteresting, so overall I didn't like the movie all that much.

Instant Comments: 1a: When the strange big cat shows up asking for her human half that's when things get in interesting.
1a: oh it was so crazy of her to jump down like a cat.
