Afternoon Movie: Ponyo
Ponyo confirms Academy AwardŽ-winning director Hayao Miyazaki's reputation as one of the most imaginative filmmakers working today. Loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid," Ponyo is a magical celebration of innocent love and the fragile beauty of the natural world. The daughter of the sea goddess Gran Mamare -voiced by Cate Blanchett- and the alchemist Fujimoto -Liam Neeson-, Ponyo -Noah Cyrus- begins life as an adventurous little goldfish. Chafing at her father's restrictions, she goes in search of adventure and meets Sosuke -Frankie Jonas-, a good-natured 5-year-old who lives by the sea. Sosuke adopts Ponyo and quickly wins her heart. Fujimoto uses magic to bring her back, but Ponyo's love for Sosuke proves strong.
