Perfect for audiences of all ages, Ponyo centers on the friendship between five-year-old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Ponyo, the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After a chance encounter, Ponyo yearns to become a human so she can be with Sosuke. As to be expected with Miyazaki, the film is awash in pure unbridled imagination and visual wonder -- but it is the tender love, humor and devotion exhibited by Ponyo and Sosuke that form the emotional heart of the film.

Children go on errands all by themselves for the very first time as a camera crew follows along in this beloved, long-running reality show from Japan.
