A brand new and final trailer for Hayao Miyazaki”s upcoming film Ponyo on the Cliff was shown on Japanese television just one day before its theatrical release. FPSMagazine has made available the trailer online. Ponyo on the Cliff tells the tale of Ponyo, a goldfish princess who wishes to become human and in the process, befriends a 5 year old boy, Sosuke. The look of the movie is heavily based on the many pre-production watercolours and hand drawn artworks done by Miyazaki. Also, no CGI has been used in the movie. Ponyo opens in theatres across Japan on July 19.
In addition, GhibliWorld has posted an interview with Hayao Miyazaki, the director of Studio Ghibli’s upcoming film Ponyo on the Cliff, wherein he shares his thoughts on the film which was done all by hand, without the use of any CGI. As Miyazaki himself puts it, “We have drawn with pencils for a long time, so then we thought we should do it with pencils only. That is our advantage. Even we ourselves felt fresh to see the completed film.”
