Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's treasured tale follows the story of five year old Sosuke who discovers a goldfish he names Ponyo near his seaside home. He rescues her, and fascinated with each other, they promise to stay firm friends.

A magical seaside adventure from Hayao Miyazaki

In a small town by the sea lives five year old Sosuke, high on a cliff overlooking the Inland Sea. One morning while playing on the rocky beach below his house, he discovers a goldfish he names Ponyo, her head stuck in a jam jar. Sosuke rescues Ponyo and keeps her in a green plastic bucket.

Both Ponyo and Sosuke are fascinated by each other and promise to stay firm friends until Ponyo's father, a sorcerer who lives deep under the sea, forces her to return with him to the ocean depths. What follows is an amazing underwater adventure for all ages.
