Ponyo - Hayao Miyazaki

Five-year-old Sosuke lives with his mother on a cliff by the sea. One day he meets Ponyo, a magical goldfish who dreams of becoming human. When she defies her father’s rules, an extraordinary adventure unfolds. Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese manga artist and prominent film director and animator of many popular anime feature films. Through a career that has spanned nearly five decades, Miyazaki has attained international acclaim as a maker of animated feature films and, along with Isao Takahata, co-founded Studio Ghibli, an animation studio and production company. The success of Miyazaki's films has invited comparisons with American animator Walt Disney, British animator Nick Park as well as Robert Zemeckis, who pioneered Motion Capture animation, and he has been named one of the most influential people by Time Magazine.
