For his latest film, acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki teamed up with Walt Disney to create an American release for what looks to a touching and beautiful story. Ponyo tells the story of a young fish girl who wants desperately to be human and the the young boy she befriends in order to try and make it happen.

Also, plot aside, the English version of the film has some great voices: Liam Neeson, Tina Fey, Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Cloris Leachman and Lily Tomlin.

Give a watch to the trailer below for a moment of pure whimsy (which is always a good thing to start your day with!)

I also love that the film is water themed.

After World Oceans Day and seeing The Cove I am all for any film that makes kids see how wonderful the oceans are!
