Ponyo in 35mm
A delight for audiences of all ages, Ponyo focuses on the friendship between 5-year-old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Brunhilde, the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After wandering away from her father’s four-flippered submarine, Brunhilde washes ashore and is discovered by curious Sosuke. Now renamed Ponyo, she yearns to be a real girl and join Sosuke’s family. Touching on classic Hayao Miyazaki themes about balance in nature and how friendships can blossom anywhere—even in the ocean’s depths―Ponyo is one of the director’s most charming features.
This screening celebrates the opening of Studio Ghibli’s PONYO, a new Academy Museum exhibition highlighting the film’s traditional, hand-drawn animation. We invite audiences to dive into the world of Ponyo on the big screen before embarking on a voyage through the Level 2 Wanda Gallery.
