Ponyo
Fri, Dec 3 | 2pm | TMT (dubbed)
A delight for audiences of all ages, Ponyo focuses on the friendship between 5-year- old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Brunhilde—the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After wandering away from her father’s four- flippered submarine, Brunhilde washes ashore and is discovered by curious Sosuke. Now renamed Ponyo, she yearns to be a real girl and join Sosuke’s family. Touching on classic Miyazaki themes about balance in nature and how friendships can blossom anywhere— even in the ocean’s depths— Ponyo is one of Miyazaki’s most charming features.
DIRECTOR: Hayao Miyazaki.
