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.
