Film Synopsis
Far below
the ocean waves, a small and curious fish-girl runs away from home and makes it to
the shore of a rural port town. Her arrival doesn’t go smoothly as she gets caught in a passing fishing net and is trapped inside a glass bottle.
Down by the
beach is a young boy named Sosuke (voiced by Hiroki Doi) who sees the
tiny fish and frees her. While doing so, the boy cuts his
finger on the glass, to which the girl jumps up and kisses the
wound; instantly healing it.
Having never
seen a fish like her before, Sosuke takes an immediate liking to the girl and
calls her Ponyo. The two spend the entire day together, but all the while a
mysterious man named Fujimoto (voiced by George Tokoro) is desperately trying
to find the girl.
Sosuke admires how strange and amazing Ponyo is. To his
surprise, Ponyo (voiced by Yuria Nara) responds and says she likes Sosuke
in return. At this moment, Fujimoto finds the two and successful takes
back Ponyo.
Under the sea, Fujimoto warns of how dangerous the human world is and how Ponyo should have nothing to do with it. However, Ponyo says she wants to return to Sosuke and become human. With that she begins to transform into an actual five year old girl and manages to get away.
