Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
Hayao Miyazaki

A heartwarming family feature for all ages, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea inspires the kind of wide-eyed wonder and thought-revolving life values, only possible in a Ghibli film. The simple yet affecting visuals, using the most basic and traditional 2D effect and hand-drawn details, created an enchanting artwork which beats over any 3D or CG animated productions in this advanced century.

Manga, a term used worldwide to refer to Japanese comics, and Anime, Japan-produced animation, is as distinct from Disney as Hollywood is different from Bollywood. Their unique entertainment value has captured not only both the young and old, it has also drawn waves of Japanese to contribute and feed this growing industry. In fact, their appeal has transcended national borders, languages and religious differences worldwide, and has won them fans who lap up every one of their latest release.
