Ponyo at Wealthy Theatre

Wealthy Theatre's Family Film Series brings Studio Ghibli's beloved animated adventure to the big screen. In this charming 2008 film directed by Hayao Miyazaki, a boy named Sosuke finds a magical goldfish named Ponyo stranded near his clifftop home. What starts as a simple rescue becomes an extraordinary adventure when Ponyo reveals her true nature—she's a curious creature with a burning desire to become human. As she settles into Sosuke's house, her playful energy creates delightful chaos, while her father, a powerful sorcerer, works to pull her back to the sea. This G-rated fantasy is perfect for families looking for a beautifully animated film that appeals to both children and adults. The movie runs just over 100 minutes, making it engaging without being overwhelming for younger viewers.
