  • OMG I loved that movie. It was so sweet.

  • I watched this movie illegally for the first time when it released and it made no sense. I'm watching it right now on Netflix and it still makes no sense. But I'm still amazed at how beautiful her mother and the rest of the movie. I don't understand. I've watched HMC and it made sense. But not this. I don't get why her sisters turn into water fish things, or why her dad drops elixirs in the water, or when he drank that one elixir he looked younger. Gah! Someone explain me the plot w/ details!

  • @KousAB10 it doesnt need to make sense. if you search for reason in miyazaki films then you will probably be let down. it is his fantastic once in a lifetime imagination that makes these movies so powerful

  • @chazmaster121

    I wasn't let down at all when I read somewhere about that one scene when Fujimoto flashed a light at an illuminating squid to communicate with it. I finally got the humor in the part where he flinched at the light. I wondered what the squid said? And YES IT DOES need to make sense. For me that is. If I hadn't learned about that scene I mentioned above, I would be staring at that scene like I missed an important line of a joke.

  • It's the DVD trailer for Australia.

  • thumbs up if ur watching rads live stream

  • when ponyo's mom says"good luck ponyo" it sounds like she's saying "good luck onew"

    thumbs up if you agree

  • what a Beautiful Film I love it ♥

  • I love iyazaki's films because I could watch them on mute and STILL fall in lvoe with them!

  • Could someone tell me the name/maker of the music toward the end of the trailer???

  • @Karopex you're talking about the part with the us dub cast? It's Joe Hisaishi's

  • It's so weird in English, because I always watch the real version...

  • I watched a bit of this on the tube one day and i was so confused, maybe its because it was at the end of the movie and it was 3 in the morning. now that i know who made it I want to see it again.

  • why are people so angry at disney?

  • "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" is my my favorite movie. I love it; one of the movie channels was playing it and I watched it with my brother for the first time 2-3 weeks ago. My username is dedicated to the adorableness which is Ponyo *0*

  • Fuck you Disney...nuff said

  • Idk why im watching this... i have the movie at home... but the voice is so epic "he has been hailed as one of the gratest film makes of all time"... LOL sounds so kool xD

  • ponyo ponyo ponyo!! :D! OMG! ponyo! >.<"

  • Another Miyazaki masterpiece butchered by voice actors who don't don't jack squat about pronunciation.

  • @Twiductress -- You don't either ("don't don't jack squat"??). It is a masterpiece and one of my favorite kid movies. Funny how I, and other English speakers found the voice actors to suit the American version just fine.

  • that disney-thing in the start just blew my mind

  • Another masterpiece from Hiazou Miyazaki :D I wish I could find it somewhere on here because I don't have the DVD.

  • At 0:43 he looks like Mr. Toad from Wind in the Willows <3 I'm surprised to hear an australian accent at 0:53!

  • it looks cute!!!

  • some of the character voices dont match i'll keep watching it in japanese XD

  • @BunnyAsuka - Makes sense since you're Japanese!.;-)

  • @sparkle11231 no im not i'm mexican lol

  • @BunnyAsuka -- Aye pues, desculpa me!....:-)

  • @sparkle11231 lol its okay

  • @BunnyAsuka -- Lol. Thanks.

  • Does anyone know where i can watch it online? T-T

  • So, it will be on DVD in march, in America?

  • @FireFlysNeverDie

    its already out everywhere

  • Lol you know this makes absolutely no sense in english. They got all those fancy actors to do the voices, but if you watch the Japanese version you'll see how weird that actually is :') This is so typically Japanese, I don't get it. Once again Disney made a brilliant movie incredibly commercial..

  • Ow.. the opening is very misleading... :( but oh well... trailers are trailers and movies are movies

  • i like this movie and my niece luvs it a lot and now its making my playdays 0over on the computer lol

    she watched it like 999999999999999999999999999999­999999 times and she stills like it..

  • Weird !

  • Walt Disney and Studio Ghibli works together to make the english versions of the original movies

  • i wonder if theres going to be a ponyo 2

  • ponyo's cute :D

  • walt disney?isn´t it ghibli studio?

  • @rafixtaa yes yes it is

  • ponyo ponyo ponyo ponyo ponyo ponyo!!!!

    I love it *-*

  • ponyo ponyo ponyo ponyo ponyo ponyo!!!!

    I love it *-*

  • dude dun underestimate studio gibhli...

  • Im gonna watch it right now. It looks really good. Just like spirit away

  • I SAW THE MOVIE LOVED IT. Hope they make more movies.

  • Is this film good? If so on a scale from 1 to 10?

  • It was cute (I'm 19) but my 14 yr old friend didn't rly enjoy it. Think it's more for older ppl.

  • One of the cutest movies ever :3

  • Sorry I mean 'their' not they're.

  • ive watch this is on 2009

  • wow miyazaki sure is a Epic,huh? i love his movies...whenever or whoever dub it!

    Aldrawing are so same~!..♥

  • not to be mean but, this one is probably my least favorite out of all the Studio Ghibli films...

  • the drwaings were not  made by computer... I have to watch this masterpiece...

  • I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaate walt disney!

  • this is a good movie but people look to bitch and complain that disney dubbed it. i hate disney to but dam atleast you have both -.-

  • It`s wonderful!!!!! LOVE PONYO FOREVER

  • It's not Miyazaki's best piece but fun for children.

    The animation is fantastic in the film.

  • Such an adorably cute kiddy version of 'the little mermaid'. I will have to see it in English now... although, I don't know how I feel about the sorcerer's voice :/

  • Is ponyo a walt disney film? I didn't know that O.O

  • no, its a Studio Ghibli Film, which is in Japan. All Walt Disney did was do the english dub and release it in other places other than Japan.

  • @penlama Thank you :) I knew it was miyazaki's, but I didn't know disney distributed it.

  • @TheGEiSHOChan It isn't. Disney just dubbed it in English and Distributed it on the U.S.

  • @TheGEiSHOChan now chance Disney could make such a magical movie in nowadays :p

  • there was a movie in the 70th just like this one

  • yes the dvd is out

  • The trailer looked too 'shiny'. I hope it still has the magic what had in other Miyazaki's films...(And I seriously hope they'll either send it in here original Japanese voices or translate it.)

  • how come tht ponyo feet like chicken suddenly like a human feet??

  • wuhts up w everyone saying the original versions r better? okay we get it the english version suck blah blah but who gives a fuck its not like its hurting us or sumthing. as long as the movie's there uve got sumthing 2 watch, jeez

  • i wish ponyo would stay studio chibli not disney

  • ponyo is still a part of studio ghibli. disney just helped to put in the english voice overs and it also helped the movie to be released in many other places. all disney did was spread the magic of Studio Ghibli to places other than Japan and there is nothing wrong with that.

  • I know what i ment was they shouldnt put all these celebretys sisters and brothers on just so everyone will watch it because they know the name. Its not quility work. They should put better voice actors and i think that would just top it off. The story is great but it just bugs me how disney is trying them to get ponyo 3d and stuff like that to get publicity so disney gets more attention.

  • If you didn't know that Frankie and Noah did the voices then would have liked the voice acting? I honestly thought their voice acting was soo cute. I don't care who the actual voice actors was, as long as it sounds good.

  • @Tatianna777 - Then it would stay in Japan. What sense (money) would that make!

  • 0:43 Ahh :(

  • watch?v=_Dsd-boEkIs

  • It actually only just came out in cinema's where i am from xDD me and my friednsa were gunna go see it after school but the last screening was at 14:55 T^T so we couldnt see it and now we have to wait till monday

  • why are they saying ponyu when it's ponyo. I mean that's not even just a pronunciation error

  • @cicada300

    Cuz that old man has a dodgy accent and that woman is trying to sounds etheral.

    Equally, why say Sósuke as SAsuke?

  • Plz dont thumbs this down, but the desgn in the drawing looks VERY disney classics (Not tht that's a bad thing) And it's a bit...cartoon-y, rather than the signature anime style that makes S.G. So amazing!

  • what is S.G?

  • Studio Ghibli

  • Studio Ghibli

  • @penlama Studio Ghibli

  • @penlama Studio Ghibli

  • Comment removed

  • I agree. I happened to see an adveurt of the film to be relised in the UK today and i though it looks i little like studio ghiblis style mixed in with disney. It looks good but i prefure the origanal style myself

  • mmm, the originals were so much better than these ones.

  • well, i partly have to agree but i would still like to see this film ^^

  • @Grimmgirl14 mm well maybe cuz the japanesse animation was inspired in disney early work

  • @SwEeTcOrE1989

    Yeaaah, but I kinda meant in comparrison with the other SG films that aren't disney-ish and WOW, I posted tht 3 months ago XD

  • @Grimmgirl14 lol then you're right , wow you like kh awesome :D sorry i was looking ur channel xD

  • @SwEeTcOrE1989

    XD of course! everyone likes kh!

  • omg I can't wait, this looks so awesome, as usual <3

  • i wanted to see it but i coudn't find a theater near me (excuse the pun ) playing it so ill have to get it on dvd

  • i watched this movie already but it wasn't dubbed en it wasn't prefect quality..i watched it with subtitles en they talked in japanese..i love this movie en its so cute!!

  • I already saw the movie, it's so cute!!^^

    anybody know when it's gonna come out on DVD or something?

  • march 2nd 2010 as for now

  • I've heard this is a great movie, can anyone give me any intake on it?

  • LOL tiny fey, awesome.

  • Just so you all know, ive seen the japanese with subtitles and the story has been butchered. **SPOILERS** As you can see in the trailer the father tells Ponyo to save the earth but in actual fact that part in the jap is just after he kidnaps her and the only reason the ocean was unsettled after was because she used magic to get back to Sosuke. Nothing to do with saving the world, just her wanting to be human.

    Im sure it will be a good movie but i get mad when they change things like that.

  • @sonic4sale Have you seen the full English Dubbed version of the film? Ponyo's father says the "planet is out of balance" and "do it now!", he could be referring to reverting, which he DOES insist she does.

    I haven't been able to catch more of the dubbed version than just the trailers, but I think the editors may have just altered where the audio falls... they do that a lot :)

  • i havent seen the english dub, only the trailer too but it seems... wrong. like they altered the story. i want to pick up the blu ray though so i can see both. its a great movie and im sure the english dub will be awesome too, but dumbed down for kids, as there is a little bit of adult stuff in the japanese like when they talk about breast milk and that.

  • the scene where Ponyo comes out of the sea with the fish=one of the best Miyazaki scenes in history.... I think it's great that he has the power to not work hard, but chooses to use his imagination the best way he can. MIYAZAKI RULES!!!!

  • wow awesome..i wanna see it..sadly im not in america cause i freakin moved..T_T..so i have to wait..

  • disney is taking ages to release this gorgeous film in manila big screens.

  • i just hope disney dosent butcher the lines the characters use...

  • Disney and Studio Ghibli have an agreement that Disney MUST translate all Ghibli movies as accurate as possible.

  • ^_^ i hope so, ive only seen the japanese one so far. looking forward to english one

  • Oh no, not Disney! D:

    Ghibli is so much better!

  • I don't really look at things and throw them out because who does it. If it's good, it's good. If it's not, it's not. Deciding if something is good or bad based on who works on it is pretty narrow-minded.

  • please try to understand that without disney, this movie would not have been even been in theaters in North America. Disney is just helping to spread the magic of Ghibli films.

  • Yeah, but do they have to use Hannah Montana's little sister and the Jonas Brother's little brother to do the songs? That's so going to spoil the film.

  • @ThylacineAli that will NOT spoil the film! if you really love mr. Miyazaki's work, wether they are in or not you won't mind :-< ! but you do so you obvs don't respect his work :-< !

  • @mrsJJ071, how dare you! I absoloutly respect his work and am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli. But I can't help feeling that Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brother's siblings ruined the song! Haven't you seen Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers? They're so fake, they're music is not real! Also, I'm not disrespecting Hayao Miyazaki-san, I'm disrespecting Disney for using those two to sing the songs.

  • Oh, and it wouldn't be any use to me if it was in North America because I like in Wales. (UK)

  • its going to be out in the UK on the february of 2010

  • i loved this dub! And I usually hate dubs. The voice acting was just perfect. Enjoyable is the word. It's just awesome. Awesome movie, awesome voice acting, awesome hand drawing awesome everything.

  • Yes :) Miyazaki films are so so good, and the dubbing is near perfect, same with Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle... 3 of the most amazingly creative and brilliant films ever :)

  • thumbs up for the quality!

  • is that liam neeson??

  • yes it is

  • i love hayao miyazaki!!!! i wanna marry him x3

  • I think that the drawnings are very simple. It might be a good movie, but I`m very surprised and a bit disappointed

  • The problem with you is you've been sucked into thinking if its not all "bling' as american trash would say then its just not good.... same with women, games, movies and life, generation me has been sucked in by the corporate BS machine... you have no imagination, creativity, patience and an attention span of a fly etc etc... sucks to be you and your generation

  • Walt Disney and Ghibli...I don`t really like it. If you see the movie, you can say that it`s a Ghibli film, but the quality of the drawnings... Why did Ghibli cooperated with Disney?

  • disney pixar just distributes the american dubbed version, not actually drawn nd animated by the same ppl

  • Haha they make it sound like the world is in some sort of perilous danger and without Ponyo its screwed. What they dont mention is that Ponyo pit it out of whack to begin with rofl

  • Isn't the magician a bad guy in the original movie? This version seems changed.

  • i love this moviieee it was soooooooooo good

  • I just saw the subs guys.and when i saw the trailer everything i saw was correct......

    i cant wait till the weekend when i see this!

  • this was a good movie

  • The japanese version is WAY better thewn the english version. Message me if you want the link for this movie in japanese with english subtitles

  • did you see the whole movie in japanese once?

  • I watches it all at once. Like their was no part 1 or part 2. No breaks inbetween nothing. And good quality. If you want the link I can give it to ya

  • tell me it plz

  • Ok :D

  • may i have the link plz? i think the english version killed it :(

  • I'm not so sure if I should see this given my animosity with anything connected to Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. The two biggest Disney baits for money from brainwashed teenyboppers. Also I've already seen the Japanese version. Other then those two, I'd trush Liam Neeson and Kate Blanchett though.

  • Hahaha lol that makes sense thanx for explaining it •^-^•

  • Hahahahaha wth it like 4 stars lol it thot trailrs were suppose to say the movie was awesome!! Like 5 stars. Lol watevr i thot it was 5 star just cuz miyazaki san made it and cuz it had a catchy tune!

  • the critic who gave this film 4 stars gave it in a scale of 4 stars. so basically he gave it a 4 out of 4 meaning amazing

  • I like the japanese version better.. the dubbed is kinda off from the original. but it was adorable~

  • the Japanese version is way better

  • gah!! i want to go see this but they arent showing it in the crappy little theater near my place!!!!! id have to get my dad to drive me like an hour away to see it and i kno he doesnt want to see it... plus he just took me out to see a movie a little while ago...grrrrrrr

  • I already saw it jeez

  • japanese version was way better

  • omg it was so adorable i saw it when it cam e out and saw it again today

  • I know i absolutely loved it!!!!!!!

  • yeah :]

    there were like a mix of really young kids then alot of older kids or teens if u prefer :D

  • omg! i saw this movie yesterady when it came out and i loved it!! this is a movie for anyone im 15, and my 17 yearold guy friend when to see it with me and he liked it aswell! its so cutee :]] best movie ever!

  • was the theater crowded much?

  • when i went it was first it was the first shwoing at the theater near me a bunch of fmailys and teenagers we got in thre right when it was starting we sat in the front it was great :D

  • omg it was awesome!

  • awesome

  • just saw it yesterday and it was GREAT im gonna see it again soon!! I say it does deserve 4 stars! GO PONYO!

  • nice

  • OMFG I LUVED SPIRTIED AWAY! I Guess Thats Why I Luv This One X3

  • SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!

  • I have to say I was surprised by the quality of the voice acting. What I meant by my statement was that the reason they got the roles was because of their siblings. I enjoyed the movie. All of it except the ending theme. They should have kept it in japanese.

  • I agree. I too thought that the English dubbing was going to be lame for the Ponyo and Sasuke characters! Overall, it was very good, and I was impressed with the English version of the ending theme. but the Japanese ending theme version is way cuter ^U^

  • Actually it was Sosuke. They mispronounced his name. Yeah the japanese was cuter :)

  • I love that Liam is in it! Hi's voice is the coolest!

  • lol dude, this trailer told me nothing

    T^T

    the japanese one at least gives something of a background to the characters and story and is it JUST ME or does the logo look as if it should be saying "FINDING NEMO" ?!?!

  • It's out in theaters right now so go see it!!!!

  • Looks cute :D

  • Looks pretty meh compared to Spirited Away.

  • i think its a good opportunity for little noah and frankie. they have had to live with their sibling's fame for a while, and now they get to experience fame! plus, they did a great job with the voice overs. i think so atleast.

  • It's a vehicle for Disney to whore out their next little cash cows. Nothing more, nothing less.

  • Its not a Disney anime. Its a Studio Ghibli anime. Disney is just dubbing it. I wish they would take this movie more seriously and hire trained voice actors instead of kids who wouldn't be famous if it wasn't for their siblings. Kind of a repeat of my last comment, but im very disappointed in Disney.

  • finally! an disney anime film, ANIME IS AWESOME CUZ JAPANESE PEOPLE R COOL!!!

  • Can't they hire REAL actors? Noah and Frankie are only famous because of their siblings. Why not give a kid with talent the roles? I love the Miyazaki movies and really hope they do better on this than what I think they will.

  • 'Why not give a kid with talent the roles?'

    Watch the movie, and you'll see that they did.

  • i already saw this movie in japanese with subtitles its really good ponyo is so funy and cute!

  • disney really needs to get off of its wn nuts. jonas and cyrus sibling are the main voice actors . . . . i hate what disney as become

  • I know what you mean. I wish Disney was the way it used to be, none of these talentless tween actors on cheezy shows with horrid plot lines. If Walt were alive today, dear God he would be horrified!

  • I know. there was something magical in the old movies . . . and disney channel . . . . ugh
