Bright colors and lots of fantastical elements paint the canvas for Hayao Miyazaki‘s latest animated feature, Ponyo. The film is laced with an A-list cast of actors, but lead by second generation Disney spawns, Frankie Jonas and Noah Cyrus. Ponyo is a family-friendly-feast filled with comedy, adventure, and dare I say a touch of romance? The film offers you a one way ticket to the land of make believe, but to enjoy it make sure you park your common sense at the door.

After seeing director Hayao Miyazaki speak at this year’s Comic-Con I’ve become an even bigger fan of his work. A second trailer has just been released for his upcoming English language feature, Ponyo. It literally features an A-list cast of actors that’s too long to fully mention, but some of the stars include Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Tina Fey, and Liam Neeson. Ponyo opens in U.S. theaters on August 14, and it looks like a visually stunning treat!

Pictures from the new Hayao Miyazaki film, Ponyo, have been released. To say they are beautiful is an understatement. I’ve never really gotten into anime, but I can certainly appreciate the skill of this animator. By simply looking at the pictures, you can tell it’s going to be an amazing children’s movie; the colors are vibrant and expressive. The film is about a little bou who befriends a goldfish princess who wants to become human. The film was actually released in Japan last year, and Disney is releasing it later this year in the United States. The trailer is going to be released sometime around the 4th of July weekend.
The voices, for the American version, are pretty stellar. The cast includes Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Cloris Leachman, Liam Neeson, Betty White, and Lily Tomlin. Anime isn’t really my thing, but between the photos and the cast, I’m pretty curious to see it.
