Family Matinee

Ponyo (English Dubbed Version)

A sweetly poetic treat for film lovers of all ages! Acclaimed animation maestro Hayao Miyazaki returns with a delightful fantasy adventure following the relationship between a 5-year-old boy and a young goldfish princess who dreams of becoming human. But when the newly two-legged Ponyo shows up on her new friend’s doorstep, it threatens to throw the world’s natural balance off kilter. English dubbed version

“An arresting work from an unmistakable film-making personality.” – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

“Five minutes into this magical film you’ll be making lists of the individuals of every age you can expose to the very special mixture of fantasy and folklore, adventure and affection, that make up the enchanted vision of Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki.” – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“When you see Ponyo – and you must – be prepared for a movie that doesn’t abide by Hollywood rules. This is a tale for children (yes, of all ages) who are ready to be coaxed into another world through simple words and luscious pictures.” – Richard Corlis, TIME Magazine
