Ponyo is a young fish-girl who has magical power just like her sea-godness mother. She wants to explore the world outside her father's house deep under the sea. One day she decides to escape but gets stuck in an empty jar and found by a young boy whose name is Sosuke by accidently. She falls in love with this boy, and so desperately wants to become human so she can live with the boy. But if she wants to be human, she has to give up her magic cause she can't have both humanity and magical power.
Ponyo's father who once a human but decided to become a part of fish(?)-we don't know how he could be able to get married to the sea-godness and become pohyo's father- tries to stop his daughter and wishes her to remain pure and innocent forever. Despite of her father's wish, Ponyo wants to become human and now everything is up to Sosuke. He finds a way to make them both happy.
Did you see the animaion as video? "Ponyo on the cliff".. I like animaion too. But, I think it wasn't worth the money I see an animaion in the theater. So, I see an animaion at home. I saw the "Mononoke Hime" Did you see it? I see in the theater, this animaion definitely gave me my money's worth and I was happily entertained. I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will see the "Ponyo on the cliff" I listen to your story, I want to see it:)

This movie was released in Japan in 2008. I didn't watch this in a theater, but if I knew it was this great, I would definitely watch it in a theater and say it was worth the money :)
ReplyDeleteActually I want to watch this in a theater thru a big screen again if I can get a chance.
I haven't watched Mononoke Hime yet. It sounds like you enjoyed that a lot! I will find and watch that next week then :) Thank you for your recommendation and your comment :3
I heard this movie oneday. The picture looks really nice. I mean beautiful animation. I didn't see this movie, I would like to watch it My favorite animation is 'The girl who leapt through Time'. This is also made by Japan. Maybe most people have seen it at least one time!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good movie for me and my daughter to see. :)

ReplyDeleteohhh hjin. I also watched that animation! Yea, that one is also very creative.. I think Japan is the best when it comes to Aminations.
ReplyDeleteScott/ Yes. She will like it(I hope :3)!! I'm surprised that students who left a comment here haven't watched this yet!
Yeah I know this film. Isn't it made by Miyajaki Hayao? I guess so. I've seen all of his films:) You know.. Totoro, Howl's moving castle and things like that. But I've not seen this film yet. Most of his films, he covers a conflict between nature and human. I guess this film also covers this issue as I see your post. I hope to see it when I have free time:) Miyajaki Hayao's films have a clean image and sometimes give much thought to me.
ReplyDeletebefore reading your writing, I have never seen 'ponyo on the cliff'. After your reading, I saw that on the internet yesterday. I have fascinated everything. I have watched one of lots of anime of Hayao Miyazeki ,Howl's moving Castle. I like anime of Hayao Miyazeki. I'm looking forward to his next film... - HyeMi Gwon
ReplyDeleteOh! Ponyo on the cliff.. Here I am who haven’t seen the movie yet!
