Actually Hayao Miyazaki directed
Ponyo himself.
You're thinking of
Tales from Earthsea, that was the first one directed by his son. It
sux donkee ballz as a film, though the world design and soundtrack is very good.

I enjoyed
Howl's, I even own a copy. It's completely different from the british novel it was "based" on, but for some reason it's got a unique charm I can't help but fall in love with. Something about tarnished innocence and simplistic, almost childish love. It does unravel a bit at the end but I forgive it.
