Ponyo on a Cliff (崖の上のポニョ, Gake no ue no Ponyo^?) is an animated film by the Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli, to be written and directed by famed anime filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. The plot centers on a goldfish princess named "Ponyo" who desperately wants to be a human. In pursuing her goal, she befriends a five-year-old human boy. Work began on the film in 2006. Ghibli currently expects the film to be released in summer 2008. The film will have an original animation style heavily based on watercolors, a first for Miyazaki's films. There will be no computer-generated imagery (CGI) at all, in contrast to Miyazaki's recent animated films Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, both in which CGI was used extensively.^[1]
