Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
Miyazaki's film Gake No Ue No Ponyo is coming to the States on August 14 (two weeks after I move back home - guess who's carting all her younger siblings to the movies!). The voice cast includes Liam Neeson, Cloris Leachman, Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Betty White, and Lily Tomlin, with Miley Cyrus' sister Noah as Ponyo and the Bonus Jonas Frankie as her friend Sousuke.

In the movie, Ponyo is a baby goldfish who wants to be a human girl. Thanks to a young boy named Sosuke, she actually begins achieving this dream, and goes to live with him, upsetting the balance of nature in the process.

Here's a trailer.



Yay Ponyo, yay Miyazaki, yay Tina Fey, and yay family/children's movie starring a girl who isn't a princess!
