Inspiration 2.3

Ponyo Ponyo, fish in the sea (such a catchy little song for the credits). Ahh Ponyo (directed by Hayao Miyazaki) was amazing. I'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli and am just so pleased that their latest animation was as good as the rest.

As Ponyo started her life as a goldfish, initially, a lot of the story is based underwater which was perfect for me. The animation is incredible and with each frame drawn by hand, 170000 separate frames were created (a record for a Miyazaki film).

I have taken a lot of inspiration from the film including the music, animation style and narrative. Take a look at the trailer and you will see why.
