A Review of Most of Miyazaki’s Films

Pwintphyu Nandar

(MoeMaK Movie Review)

Hayoa Miyazaki has done it again! He had made another beautiful anime movie. This time it is about the adventures of a fish girl, Ponyo, and a human boy, Sousuke, thus the name Ponyo. For the creation of Ponyo, Miyazaki uses his own spectacular alchemy to weave in a feel of Japan into the classic story of “The Little Mermaid,” which is his inspiration. Miyazaki is definitely a master of anime. He was born in Tokyo, January 5, 1941. He got involved in anime in 1963, and his career started form there. Miyazaki had directed many anime movies, most of which has become a success. All time anime favorites, done by Miyazaki, includes Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, KiKi’s Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Nausicaa, and Princess Mononoke.
