Celebrate the wondrous films of Hayao Miyazaki in a 4-film series at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Ponyo, released in Japan as Ponyo on the Cliff, is the 16th animated film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. It is Miyazaki’s eighth film to be made under the studio, and his first feature-length film since Howl’s Moving Castle released four years prior.

The film tells the story of Ponyo, a goldfish-like creature who escapes from the ocean and is helped by a five-year-old human boy named Sōsuke, after she is washed ashore while trapped in a glass jar. As they bond with each other, Ponyo desires to become a human girl, against the devastating circumstances brought about by her acquisition and use of magic.
