The loose retelling of The Little Mermaid tells the story of
a boy who befriends a daughter of the sea named Ponyo. The daughter of the king
of the ocean, Ponyo is no ordinary goldfish - she has all the magic of the sea
at her disposal. Ponyo desperately wants to be human and live with her friend’s
family, but her father, the King of the Sea, has different ideas, at least when
he’s paying attention to his wayward daughter and not mixing elixirs to clean
up the mess man has made of the ocean. But when five-year-old Sosuke finds her
near his seaside home, a special connection sparks between the two children,
and Ponyo becomes determined to become human.
