Death’s Notes and Thoughts

The story, set in a seaside town, revolves around a 5 year old boy, Sosuke, and the Princess goldfish, Ponyo, who wants to become human.

This time Miyazaki will tell a story drawn freely in watercolors and pastels about a 5 year old boy Sosuke and the princess goldfish Ponyo who wants to become human which of course will promise much good! An extra interesting thing is that the Goro Miyazaki (Hayao’s son) of when he was 5 years old has been chosen as the model for the main character Sosuke, which is interesting because in the summer of 2007 Goro Miyazaki made his director’s debut with Studio Ghibli’s “Gedo Senki” and Miyazaki senior was fiercely against it.
