Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki fans rejoice! Today Hayao Miyazaki’s new film was announced under the title “Gake no ue no Ponyo” (Ponyo On A Cliff) of which is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2008 in Japan.
Current details about this new animation is as follows… The plot revolves around the Princess goldfish called Ponyo who wants to become human, accompanied by a five year old boy named Sosuke. Keywords of the film are “father”, “mother”, and “a cliff”.
Interestingly, we believe that the model for Sosuke is Goro Miyazaki (Hayao’s son) when he was 5 years old.
Gake no ue no Ponyo will be realised in a watercolour and pastel style of freehand illustration. This technique seems to be quite popular as fans of Honey & Clover and the recent Nodame Cantabile will acknolwedge. Studio Ghibli President Toshio Suzuki mentioned, “70 or 80% of the stage is the sea. How will we express the sea and a wave in a freehand drawing, it’s the director’s challenge.”
