Hayao Miyazaki heads offshore for this ecstatic fairy tale of a little goldfish princess who dreams of becoming a human girl and the small boy who becomes her friend. Underneath a raging Japanese sea live little Ponyo—a half-human, half-fish girl—and her wizard father, who hates trash-strewing humans. On the cliffs above them lives Sosuke, a polite young boy who lives with his strong-willed mother. As Ponyo and Sosuke’s friendship grows—and as Ponyo turns more human—the seas begin to transform, threatening Sosuke’s little island with destruction. Ponyo blends the storytelling finesse of a classic fable with Miyazaki’s deep love for the environment and his trademark heroines—all strong, willful, and utterly lovable.
