Although their strategies and ideologies differ, Studio Ghibli and Disney movies have a lot in common. But while Disney waters down the story and changes the brutal ending, Ghibli draws the storyboard in a very different way. Ponyo is a little goldfish, the daughter of a sea-goddess. She is found by a little boy who she promptly decides to spend forever with. She also has some 100+ sisters, and an overbearing father.
Few fairy tales exist without asking the reader or viewer to believe in some form of the supernatural. Disney is known for its pixie dust magic: “Bibbidy bobbidy boo” and the pumpkin turns into a carriage, Morgana mixes in some potions and her little fish is a shark. Our special princes and princesses are blessed to be touched with this magic.
