Following the screenings of the 35th anniversary of My Neighbor Totoro and the theatrical debut of the Spirited Away stage production, Ghibli Fest 2023 will continue after Ponyo with screenings of Kiki’s Delivery Service, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, The Wind Rises, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Spirited Away all later this year.
“During a forbidden excursion to see the surface world, a goldfish princess encounters a human boy named Sosuke, who gives her the name Ponyo,” reads the synopsis for Ponyo. “Ponyo longs to become human, and as her friendship with Sosuke grows, she becomes more humanlike. Ponyo’s father brings her back to their ocean kingdom, but so strong is Ponyo’s wish to live on the surface that she breaks free, and in the process, spills a collection of magical elixirs that endanger Sosuke’s village.”
