~Ponyo on The Cliff By The Sea~

Before i start, this is such an adorable film ^-^
And this blog contains Spoilers!

Really cheers you up if you've had a bad day, your husband/wife has attacked you with a wooden spoon, your pet hamsters ran away or TO be normal for even a second Naomi >.> Your just not feeling 100%.

So it was created from the masterminds, Studio Ghibli, that brought you Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, Howls Moving Castle etc.



Then they brought this cupcake out :)


Ponyo is about a fish girl (cute thing..Goldfish as the main character Sosuke thinks, You can think otherwise..Cute blob..etc) who lives with her strange father in an underwater castle with many other little Ponyos.

When out on their four-flippered submarine, Ponyo escapes to go for an exploring adventure only to be caught in a glass bottle and ends up on the shores of a small town.

Sosuke who lives with his mother Lisa, finds her and breaks open the bottle only to cut his thumb, when thinking Ponyo is dead, Ponyo licks the blood from his finger indicating that she is alive (Ps: Thats quite creepy, but dont panic Ponyo is no vampire)

Ponyos father Fujimoto sends his wave spirits to go and retrieve her, leaving Sosuke devastated and heart broken, just when Ponyo begins to talk to him (How cruel ;-;).


Back at the castle underwater, Ponyo and Fujimoto have an argument as Ponyo wants to become human and return to Sosuke. She suddenly starts to grow legs and arms, a consequence of licking human blood. As Fujimoto summons Ponyo's mother, Ponyo uses her fathers magic to transform her into a human girl which causes a strange imbalance on the world and a huge storm.

Ponyo finds her way back to Sosuke and Lisa, and stays with them, eating noodles and ham (ponyo likes ham ;-;). As the storm dies down, Lisa who works in a nursing home decides to drive out and see if everyone is okay, leaving Sosuke and Ponyo asleep.

Next morning the sea has risen drastically, covering the roads and town. Ponyo then has to help Sosuke to find Lisa using her magic powers which then fade as Ponyo is slowly transforming into a fish again. Fujimoto finds them both and brings them down into the sea where the nursing home is located and the people are magically breathing underwater.

Ponyo has to make a deal with her mother that if she wants to stay human and live with Sosuke she has to give up her powers. Ponyo agrees and then has to wait for Sosuke to kiss the bubble that she is kept in. At the end Ponyo cant wait any longer and bounces out of Sosukes hand in the bubble and lands on his lips, transforming her into a little girl again (Gawww ^-^)



Overall Ponyo is incredably cute and worth checking out ^-^

Like all Studio Ghibli films, it is a tad weird but the very good kind (:
