New 2D Animation from Hayao Miyazaki – Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

Hayao Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli have released their first feature length animation in four years, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. It’s a mystery at Darling Dimples why we haven’t posted about this animation giant before now. The work from this studio is held in the highest esteem by Dimples.

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea is the latest beautifully rendered theatrical animation form Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki said that his inspiration for the story came from Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. Here’s a trailer from the movie but, be forewarned, the song is one of those tunes that will haunt you for the rest of the day.

    HELLO!

    Thought you might be interested in a new animated (rotoscoping) film being released later this month.

    It’s called YEAR OF THE FISH and it’s an animated rendering of the original Chinese Cinderella story.

    You should definitely write about it!
