Abstract |
Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo (originally titled Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, or Gake no ue no Ponyo, 2008) is a hand-drawn feature animation that explores the interrelationship between the natural world and human civilisation. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale The Little Mermaid, Ponyo tells the story of a fish transformed by her love for a five-year-old human boy, Sosuke (Frankie Jonas). In reinterpreting the original story, Miyazaki draws on the Japanese Shinto-influenced animist tradition to imagine a fairytale ending in which the balance between nature and humanity is restored.
