Ponyo won't come out at night
Animation Age Ghetto strikes again!
This time is the turn of the fantabulous Ponyo on the Cliff, which just got released in our theaters, but can only be shown in the afternoon. If you want to watch it later, let's say 9PM, tough luck! As it's "just" a cartoon, and cartoons are for kids™, you're not supposed to see children going to the movies after dinner.
It's a real shame, because this kind of programming will send the movie to die. At least I hope the word-of-mouth will be strong enough to convince most people to watch it anyways. Ponyo is such a feast for the eyes and a huge, beautiful exception in a world of computer-generated animation that seems the only way to go.
