Sosuke's mother was a RECKLESS DRIVER!

I would have drawn the similarity with Castle of Cagliostro as well; the way Sosuke loses Ponyo on the shore reminded me somewhat of the way Lupin lost Clarisse on a similar shore.
I think Lisa is intended to be an American, hence her hot-tempered impulsiveness. The only thing that she did that I found really questionable is her leaving Sosuke and Ponyo alone at the house, losing the ability to return home because of rising sea levels. I would expect such a mother to completely freak out and insist on commandeering a boat to take her back to her house; unless she had already met Fujimoto and Granmamare at that point.

It looks like anti-driving propaganda really. Trying to scare kids into never wanting to start driving in the first place to prop up the public transit system.

I thought the fact that she's a mighty reckless driver showed an affinity between Sousuke's mother and Ponyo's personalities. They're both ardent, impetuous, and affectionate women; and they both like ham. But maybe Ponyo shouldn't be let drive when she grows up.

This is a very amusing thread! I did think her driving was pretty erratic too, when I was watching it..

I agree. How could she do that to a five year old child? He could've got hurt, cried and died. And I wanna beep that mother anyway for ignoring her child and her husband saying "Bug off" and runs away crying now that totally pisses me off. Sosoke's mother is the worst mother who ever nursed her own child! I'd sue her for God's sake than take her license away. Otherwise, the kid would have to live in an orphanage or a foster home.

Every time I watch this with my toddler, when Sosuke's mother drives through that storm, I say, "This is very, very stupid. Don't ever drive like that." She doesn't understand what I'm saying, but it's like I can't help myself. Sosuke's mom is INSANE on the road!

Which one? the sonic will be hearty forever one or the one with qoutes? The sonic will be hearty forever is true and the qoute is from some stupid little girl in a sonic x episode where Sonic fights Knuckles ane then Amy kicks her across the train. So please don't say "I hate your stupid signature" they're all true.

Not as bad as Yukari from Azumanga Daioh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS9csiX95dQ She wins as worst driver ever especially with children in the car.

That part with the massive waves scared the crap out of me! And Lisa's driving reminded me of my ex.
