A luminous, whimsical fairy tale about a boy and a magical fish-girl learning to love each other across species, suffused with warmth, wonder, and the joy of connection.

When Sosuke, a young boy who lives on a clifftop overlooking the sea, rescues a stranded goldfish named Ponyo, he discovers more than he bargained for.
