Film title

Ponyo


Synopsis

One day little Sosuke is playing by the seashore when he finds a fish trapped in a jar. Except, Ponyo isn't just an ordinary fish. In fact, soon she isn't a fish at all, having turned herself into a little girl with a giant appetite for ham. Sosuke is happy because he has someone to play with, but there are suddenly great storms at sea that seem in some way to be connected to Ponyo's transformation. A modern classic of Japanese animation, Ponyo is a touching animated adventure that will prove entrancing to younger audiences whilst also teaching them about growing up and environmental harmony.

Contains very mild threat.
