...Neighbor Diane Doty said she could see the tents and often heard children playing in the backyard, the corner of which abuts her own backyard. She said she even suspected the children lived in the tents, but her husband said she should leave the family alone...
...epic sweep, a teeming cast of characters and a two-hour-plus length that proved more daunting than endearing to some viewers. Ponyo is closer in tone to his kid-friendly '80s movies: Castle in the Sky, about a pair of orphans in pursuit of a floating island; My Neighbor Totoro, in which two girls meet some agreeable forest spirits; and Kiki's Delivery Service, about a 13-year-old witch who starts her own business.

Most examples of the genre end with that rosy image, in part because their makers are reluctant to bum out their audience. James Cameron must have been tempted to end his film with Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack surviving the ship's sinking and enjoying a long life with Kate Winslet...
