Hayao Miyazaki’s latest film – Ponyo On The Cliff opened on 19th July with a record on 481 screens across Japan. The movie went on to rake in 15 billion yen which was close to the Japan’s record-holder Spirited Away’s 30.4 billion yen.
This new film is about goldfish princess named Ponyo who wants to become human and her relationship with a 5-year-old boy.
Hayao Miyazaki revealed earlier that the little boy in the story is based on Goro Miyazaki when he was still 5 years old.

I hope he doesn’t retires and just keeps on making more amazing films. Meanwhile, I’m sure Goro still has a tremedously long way to go before he can match the talents of his dad.
w00t gotta love Hayao Miyazaki’s films
Honestly speaking, I’m already sick of hearing the “Ponyo Ponyo” song everywhere… And if I ever watch this one, it’ll probably be because of it :S
