**** “incredibly beautiful… an exciting adventure for young and old…”
– David Stratton, AT THE MOVIES
Madmen proudly present the highly anticipated DVD release of PONYO – the latest animated masterpiece from Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, and the world-renowned Studio Ghibli.
In a small town by the sea, high on a cliff, lives 5-year-old Sosuke. One morning, while playing on the rocky beach below his house, he discovers a goldfish named Ponyo, her head stuck in a jam jar. Sosuke rescues Ponyo and keeps her in a green plastic bucket.
Both Ponyo and Sosuke are fascinated by each other and promise to stay firm friends until Ponyo’s father, a sorcerer who lives deep under the sea, forces her to return with him to the ocean depths. What follows is an amazing underwater adventure for all ages.
The DVD release of PONYO includes both original Japanese language with English subtitles and the Disney Pixar produced English audio dub, featuring the voices of Cate Blanchett, Liam Neeson, Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Franki Jonas and Noah Cyrus as the voice of Ponyo.
PONYO is out on DVD, December 29th, 2009 ($34.95rrp)
