Hayao Miyazki's newest installment has finally surfaced. The first piece of artwork was broadcasted yesterday on NNN news [Source: Ghibli World]. Due Summer 2008, "Gake no ue no Ponyo" (Ponyo on a Cliff), chronicles the story of a five year old boy named Sosuke and a Princess Goldfish, Ponyo, who wants to become human. Miyazaki's character designs often trademark people he knows or has encountered (e.g. "Spirited Away"). Sosuke, as it happens, is modeled after Goro's son, Miyazaki's grandson. Quite remarkably, the storyboard will be painted in watercolor. With the majority of the film setting in the ocean's depths, it will be an interesting treat to see how it all works out.
On another note, it has been confirmed that Joe Hisaishi will compose the film's soundtrack...and I wouldn't have it any other way.
