Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
Jun 22nd, 2008 | By andy | Category: Movie
I have known about this animation for about a year now. I even made short post about it before. I can’t wait! Last time I checked, this was scheduled to be released sometime this year.
Gake no ue no Ponyo - Synopsis (spoiler alert)
A small town facing the sea.
Sosuke is a boy who lives at a house on a cliff. One day he meets a fish girl called Ponyo who rides a jellyfish and ran away from home. Ponyo puts her head into a jam jar, but can’t get out of it and struggles. Sosuke happens to find it and helps her.
Ponyo falls in love with Sosuke and so does Sosuke. “I’ll guard you”, says Sosuke. However, Ponyo is brought back to the sea by her father Fujimoto. He once quit being a human and became an inhabitant of the sea.
“I want to become human!”, says Ponyo. She asks her small sisters for help to steal her father’s magic and starts in the human world where Sosuke lives.
The dangerous power of the water of life is released. The sea bulges up, a storm rages and the sisters transform into huge fishes. As a huge tsunami they all rush towards the cliff Sosuke lives at.
A boy and a girl. Love and responsibility. Sea and life. In the age of psychoneurosis and anxiety, this is a story of a mother and child that Miyazaki Hayao depicts without any hesitance.

Ummm. Doesn’t the storyline remind you of ‘The Little Mermaid’?
Here are couple of videos of Ponyo.
