Miyazaki and Ghibli did it again….well you know…made a hit! This time it’s something different…it’s a mix of a story we all should know from our childhood called the little mermaid and something japanese making it a lot more cuter.
The movie is called Ponyo (or in japanese “Ponyo on the Cliff”) and is about a little 5-year-old boy, named Sousuke, who rescue this special fish-girl and name her “Ponyo”. Ponyo gets taken back by her father who thinks that she’s been kidnapped by humans and gives her a new name “Brunhilda”. Ponyo who already got a name confronts her father and then stuff happens where the little Ponyo desire to become a human girl and get back to Sousuke…
Though lots of stuff happens this movie is made for children like most of the Ghibli movies. I think older audience can enjoy it too. Same with families…since Ghibli movies are normally enjoyed with others and leaves a feeling of warmth inside each person who watches their movies.
Oh, and a trailer so you can see what it’s about:
