content: I took my children to see this movie on the big screen and worried that it might not hold the attention of my 7 and 11 year old children. It seems suitable for younger kids, on par with My Neighbor Totoro. It is about a little boy who befriends a sea princess. In Little Mermaid fashion, her desire to stay on land leads to danger and peril. Ultimately there is a happy ending. However both of my girls were entranced and begged me to purchase the DVD, which I did. I sprung for the Blu-Ray because the visuals are gorgeous, especially scenes of the sea - both underwater and churning over the land. This is a worthy addition to the Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli line. Thoroughly enjoyable for children and adults.
