Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From the animators of Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, and the Academy Award winner Spirited Away, comes the new Studio Ghibli film Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea.

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, is a hand-drawn feature-length film. The art of the film involves not only cel, but also striking watercolour and pastel concept sketches and layout pages.

Interviews with production principals about their daring choice to hand draw a film in the age of CGI and the screenplay complete the package.
