Ponyo Gets 15th Anniversary Screenings in May for Studio Ghibli Fest

Surrounded by her goldfish mermaid sisters, Ponyo speeds toward the surface of the sea in a scene from the 2008 theatrical anime film, Ponyo.

 

Little mermaids can cause big trouble, and now Ponyo—the much-loved 2008 theatrical anime film from director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli—is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a series of U.S. theatrical screenings as part of the Studio Ghibli Fest 2023 lineup from GKIDS.

 

The film will screen at participating theaters according to the following schedule (local times):

 

  • Sunday, May 7 at 4:00 PM (English Dubbed) and 7:00 PM (English Dubbed)
  • Monday, May 8 at 7:00 PM (Japanese with Subtitles)
  • Wednesday, May 10 at 7:00 PM (Japanese with Subtitles)

GKIDS describes Ponyo as follows:

 

Perfect for audiences of all ages, Ponyo centers on the friendship between five-year-old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Ponyo, the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After a chance encounter, Ponyo yearns to become a human so she can be with Sosuke. As to be expected with Miyazaki, the film is awash in pure unbridled imagination and visual wonder — but it is the tender love, humor, and devotion exhibited by Ponyo and Sosuke that form the emotional heart of the film.
