A small town by the sea.

Five year-old Sosuke lives high on a cliff overlooking the Inland Sea. One morning, while playing on the rocky beach below his house, he discovers a goldfish named Ponyo, her head stuck fast in a jam jar. Sosuke rescues her and keeps her in a green plastic pail.

Ponyo is fascinated by Sosuke. Sosuke feels the same about Ponyo. He tells her, Dont worry, Ill protect you and take care of you. But Ponyos father Fujimoto once human, now a sorcerer who lives deep under the sea forces her to return with him to the ocean depths.

I want to be human! Ponyo declares, and determined to become a little girl and make her way back to Sosuke, Ponyo escapes. But before she does, she empties the Water of Life, Fujimotos precious store of magical elixir, into the ocean.

The sea waters rise. Ponyos sisters are transformed into enormous fish-shaped tidal waves that climb as high as Sosukes house on the cliff. The chaos of the ocean world envelops Sosukes little town and it sinks beneath the waves.

A little girl and a little boy. Love and responsibility. The sea and life itself. In an age of nervous anxiety and uncertainty, PONYO ON THE CLIFF BY THE SEA is Hayao Miyazakis unreserved depiction of the story of a mother and her child.

Okay,went to watch Ponyo in the morning..not really morning, nearing noon already..it was great! I especially like Ponyo as a fish..(or would i rather say mermaid??) its so cute! Ponyo with chicken-liked hands and feet looks yucky, as well as her with human arms and legs..I liked the part where at first Ponyo's head was stucked in a bottle but after her wriggling and turning, instead,her whole body was stucked! Anyway, below are pictures we took today..

Thumbs up for tis movie..
