My friend's kid is hooked on Ponyo right now, and I feel like that will be the Miyazaki film burned into her soul from here on forward.

You were supposed to say why! Since you didn't, here are some big positives

Soundtrack absolutely slaps. I still regularly listen to the two OSTs, they are by Yoko Kanno who is a prolific anime composer but there's just something about these scores that's so good
Budget was obviously big so some of the visuals are generally awesome. Ok it wasn't quite Akira levels but for a mini series it has some really great animation
The plot is maybe a little cheesy but it's weirdly relevant now, a classic AI gone rogue story with some interesting character heroes who need to defeat it
This will sound silly but it's the first time I saw wireless headphones in anything and then 20 years later ish we had them haha

I haven't watched that in 20 years, and I remember nothing. Back on the watch list.
