Ponyo (2008)

I have no idea why it took me this long to watch this film. The titular character is a fish of sorts who lives underwater with her father and numerous similar looking sisters. After sneaking off during a family outing, she finds herself on land, luckily rescued by a young boy named Sosuke. The rest of the film deals with Ponyo’s desire to live on land and the love she and Sosuke share for each other. The landscapes are so incredibly beautiful in this film that it’s worth watching just to see them, but the story is also incredibly sweet and touching as well, definitely among Miyazaki’s best.
