Following the Studio Ghibli film, Howl’s Moving Castle, Miyazaki releases his eighth film, Ponyo. Instead of the storyline focusing on a human, Ponyo (Ponyo on the Cliff) stretches further into the imagination to center on a goldfish who dreams of becoming a human, and a five-year-old boy named Sosuke might be the perfect person to join forces with.
The artistic adventure of Ponyo has made quite the buzz in the movie scene to go on to earn awards across the globe with five from the Tokyo Anime Awards alone. Every character is unique and is voiced by Tomoko Yamaguchi, Yuki Amami, Yuria Nara, Hiroki Doi to name a few. Even the quotes from Ponyo hold humor and wisdom.
