Fireflies: Ponyo
Part of Fireflies, a family-friendly film series. Noon Sun & Mon, Nov 9 & 10, 2025
During a forbidden excursion to see the surface world, a goldfish princess becomes trapped in a bottle and is rescued by a human boy named Sosuke, who names her Ponyo and quickly becomes friends with her. When Ponyo's father, a powerful wizard, whisks her back to his underwater lair, the princess uses her father's magic to transform herself into a human girl—but such strong sorcery creates an imbalance in nature that endangers Sosuke's village. With the moon drawing closer and the ocean tides rising, Ponyo and Sosuke embark on a sweet and touching odyssey to save the world in one of Studio Ghibli's most iconic and kid-friendly films of all time.
Featuring a stellar voice cast including Liam Neeson, Cate Blanchett, Tina Fey, and Matt Damon, "there is a word to describe Ponyo, and that word is magical. This poetic, visually breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators has such deep charm that adults and children will both be touched."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.
