I was fortunate enough to go see it on Friday. I'm a fan of his work (including the Pixarian-directed English language dubs), and I loved Ponyo. Check out the review over at Imaginerding.com.
In honor of Ponyo's US release, here's a image I captured of Miyazaki plush on sale at Epcot's World Showcase in November of 2005:
Questions for the blogosphere: Have there ever been Miyazaki walk-around characters in a Disney park? Should there be?

I have never seen or heard of Miyazaki characters walking around Disney. It would be cool for sure, but probably require more explanation for those not aware of his wonderful films! :D
I was sad to see there was not any Ponyo plush or any other merchandise in the Japan pavillion this weekend when we visited. There were several books on Miyazaki's art and animation, but that was about it. :(
Zanna - Thanks for the update.

Just think, you could offer him an umbrella when it rains...
