"Miyazaki's back, and still a force of nature. A weird, wonderful aquatic romp, Ponyo is also a meditation on the state of this blue planet. Catch it." - Empire Magazine
A heartwarming and deeply imaginative retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale “The Little Mermaid,” from the dream triumvirate of Hayao Miyazaki, Pixar’s John Lasseter and Disney.
When a young boy named Sosuke rescues a goldfish named Ponyo, they embark on a good old fashioned fantastic journey of friendship and discovery. That is, before Ponyo’s father, a powerful sorcerer, forces her to return to her ocean home. In her quest to become human and reunite with Sosuke, Ponyo accidentally begins to make serious waves that threaten to throw the whole world out of balance.
A story as timeless as they come from three animation giants, PONYO is pure awe and delight for kids and kids at heart.
