Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

Ponyo on the Cliff is a movie made by a famous Japanese movie director Hayao Miyazaki. I've watched many of his other movies, but didn't get a chance to watch this one when it first came out in 2008. Personally, I like Hayao Miyazaki's movies because his movies not only enrich the audience's eyes but also their minds; every scene in his movies contains a deep meaningwhile being portrayed with beautiful illustrations at the same time. I watched a dubbed version of the original Japanese movie, Ponyo on the Cliff; although some people might think that animation movies are just for little kids, this movie was actually very interesting and fun for me because all the characters in the movie were positive-minded and very pure, I would say. Even the adults in the movie were pure like little children; for example, Soske's mom let Ponyo stay at her house right away instead of thinking that Ponyo's story, that she turned into a human from a fish to meet Soske, was just a story made up by a child.

This is a movie trailer of the Japanese version with English subtitles.


I would definitely recommend you all to watch this movie, especially if you haven't watched any of Hayao Miyazaki's movies, because you will be able to learn lessons and enjoy the story, in which Soske and Ponyo become great friends!

Click Here for a website that has the original Japanese version of the movie divided into eleven parts. Unfortunately, there are Korean subtitles in it, but no English subtitles.. : ( By the way, I LOVE Ponyo and Soske's voices in the movie! They're so cute!
