Ponyo on the Cliff (崖の上のポニョ, Gake no Ue no Ponyo) is an animated film by the Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli, to be written and directed by famed anime filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. It will be Miyazaki's eighth film to be made under Ghibli. The plot centers on a goldfish named Ponyo who desperately wants to be a human. In pursuing her goal, she befriends a five-year-old human boy, Sōsuke.
The film will have an animation style heavily based on watercolors, a first for Miyazaki's films. This is the second Studio Ghibli film to feature a watercolour, handpainted look, after the previous Ghibli film My Neighbors the Yamadas. It is scheduled to be released by Toho on July 19, 2008, across theatres in Japan.[1]
Ponyo's theme song was released on December 5 2007, performed by Fujioka Fujimaki (famous duo Takaaki Fujioka and Naoya Fujimaki) and Nozomi Ohashi, who is only eight years old. [2] The official website for Ponyo also opened on December 5 2007.[3] On March 6 2008, producer Toshio Suzuki announced that Akiko Yano would be performing for the film as well.[4]
HM Queen Silvia of Sweden was granted a sneak preview of the film together with director Hayao Miyazaki during the King and Queen's state visit to Japan on 29 March 2007.[5] The preview was shown in a marquee erected on a cliff outside Tokyo.
Production on Ponyo on the Cliff started October 2006.[7]
Miyazaki has been intimately involved with the hand-drawn animation in Ponyo. He preferred to draw the sea and waves himself, and enjoyed experimenting with how to express this important part of the film.[7]
Ponyo on the Cliff is inspired by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid as well as by the traditional Japanese folktale Urashima Taro. The seaside village where the story takes place is inspired by a real town in Setonaikai National Park in Japan, where Miyazaki stayed in 2004. [8]
The character of Sōsuke is based on Miyazaki's son Gorō Miyazaki when he was five.[9] Sōsuke's name is taken from the hero in the famous novel The Gate.[8]
