The World of Studio Ghibli

Ponyo focuses on the friendship between 5-year-old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Brunhilde, the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After wandering away from her father’s four-flippered submarine, Brunhilde washes ashore and is discovered by the curious Sosuke. Now renamed Ponyo, she forms a quick bond with Sosuke that fuels her yearning to be a real girl, and together they shoulder the cost of what that might take. The vibrant and colorful hand-drawn animations are a delight for audiences of all ages, as Hayao Miyazaki builds a world filled with magical goldfish, spellcasters, and sea goddesses in this tale of how friendships can blossom anywhere—even in the ocean’s depths.
