Reviews: PONYO

» This is where the heart of the film lies, and the voice actors really pull them off (I'm referring to the English dub, which is the only version available theatrically). Noah Cyrus, especially, communicates Ponyo's glee so well that it's infectious. - JustPressPlay

» Especially convincing is Miley Cyrus' little sis Noah as the titular tyke. Voicing anime asks for a certain kind of hyper excited state, and Cyrus' energy is considerable. Case in point: Ponyo's enthusiasm for ham is pretty darn charming. - Eonline

» The performances are very natural; it doesn't "feel" like a dub at all. Fans worried about gimmicky Disney Channel casting - namely the youngest Jonas brother, Frankie, as the lead, and Miley Cyrus' little sister, Noah, as Ponyo - can rest easy, because they do an excellent job sounding like kids without getting irritating, keeping the big dramatic emotions properly in check while still exuding childlike enthusiasm. Their performances are expertly tailored to the characters. - AnimeNews Network

» It is Frankie Jonas and Noah Cyrus though who hypnotize us as Sosuke and Ponyo. They sound so sincere and enthusiastic in the roles. - 411Mania

» Though the next generation of the Cyrus and Jonas clans play the lead roles (Frankie Jonas is Sosuke and Noah Cyrus is Ponyo), the performances are surprisingly good. - MovieTriever

» Young Jonas and Cyrus make the protagonists realistically serious and silly without ever getting precious or precocious about it. - MSNBC

» Ponyo is voiced by Noah Cyrus, Miley's younger sister, and that Sousuke is voiced by the youngest Jonas brother. While I was a little leery of this myself, the pair aquitted themselves quite nicely, and it was a welcome change from the usual approach in dubs of having adults voice child characters; basically, the kids sound like kids, not like adults trying to sound like five year olds. I was also fairly impressed with their ability to voice act, since it requires much more of an effort than does regular acting, since there is no opportunity for the actor to emphasize via body language or the like – the performance hinges entirely on one's ability to inflect without sounding ridiculous. This is not an easy skill, and many adult voice actors themselves never master it. - Gargastegosaurus

» Ponyo is voiced by Noah Cyrus and she fit her role quite well. Her voice sounded a little grating at first, but it fit Ponyo's personality very well. - Cartoon Leap

» Children being played by Disney's next wave of child stars, Noah Cyrus. Cyrus is delightful as the overzealous Ponyo though there wasn't much to her character beyond yelling one word at a time. - Review St. Louis

» Ponyo (voiced in the English-language release version by Noah Cyrus) and Sosuke (Frankie Jonas) are just adorable, both as individuals and in their interactions with each other. Their behavior and speech seems genuinely childlike, with Ponyo adding a sweet and comical other worldliness in her wide-eyed wonder at modern conveniences like battery-powered lights and instant noodles. - Commentary Track

» However, Cyrus and Jonas each are adorable and funny in their roles, and there is little to criticize. - CinemaSpy

» I found young Noah Lindsey Cyrus as Ponyo increadibly charming in this version. I wouldn't mind giving Noah a young actor's award. - ScrewAttack

» In point of fact, the two aren't terrible (Cyrus doing a better job than Jonas), but they're clearly in the movie to bolster their reputations as child stars. - AVRev

» Disney did cast Miley Cyrus sister and a Jonas brother to play the leads, but to be honest they carry the movie beautifully. - Ani-Gamers

» After all, the film belongs to Disney's newest prince and princess - 9 year old Noah Cyrus (Miley's little sister) and 8 year old Frankie Jonas (the fourth pistno in the Jonas Brothers machine) - both of whom perfectly capture the wonder and exuberance of their onscreen counterparts. - Cinema Verdict

» The voice acting by eight-year-old child actors, Noah Cyrus (younger sister of Miley) and Frankie Jonas (younger brother of the Jonas brothers), were spot on. - Blog Her

» Frankie Jonas/Noah Cyrus: These young actors starred in the lead roles of Sosuke and Ponyo. It's hard not to be charmed by these two while in character. There's a sweet, naivety that Ponyo has that Noah brings out without sounding forced. Sosuke is more of an independent character who has moments of vulnerability every now and again, and Jonas brings it out naturally. - ScreenCrave

» We thought this movie was ADORABLE. It helped that we recognized the voices of Frankie and Noah and we couldn’t help but smile when their characters on screen were talking to each other because we could imagine them having a conversation in person. And we have to admit, we LOVED the credit song for Ponyo, sung by Noah Cyrus and Frankie Jonas - Disney Dreaming

» Noah Cyrus, Miley’s little sister, voices Ponyo, and Frankie Jonas of the Jonas Brothers does Sosuke. Liam Neeson and Lily Tomlin show up in the supporting cast. Everyone gives lively, convincing performances. - Now Toronto

» “Ponyo” is filled with childlike wonder and makes exceptional use of the child voice talents of young Noah Cyrus as Ponyo and Frankie Jonas as Sosuke. Cyrus, of the famous older sister Miley, and Frankie, youngest of the famous Jonas family, capture in their young voices the unpracticed delight only a child can deliver. - Zoiks Online
