Miyazaki's 'Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea' Coming to America

Disney to Release Feature in 2009

The other day, we mentioned that Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea was wowing them in Japan at The Dark Knight’s expense. Now we have word from Time.com that Disney will bring Hayao Miyazaki's latest animated film to the states in 2009. It is slowly rolling out around the world, having played the Venice Film Festival last week and will hit the UK in April.

Ponyo is the name of a princess goldfish who desires to be human. When washed up on the shore, Ponyo befriends a 5-year-old boy and all seems swell until the fish’s father summons the sea to help find his missing child.

Sounds as if it might almost be a better version of "The Little Mermaid" than Disney's.

I really want to see this! I can't wait till it comes to America.
