Summer of Studio Ghibli: Ponyo

Whether you’re looking to dip your toes into the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli, or perhaps Hayao Miyazaki’s creations have already made a splash in your life, the Garland Theater has you covered. As a part of the theater’s “Summer of Studio Ghibli” series, the English-dubbed version of Ponyo is playing this week. So dive into the mystical story of one young boy’s friendship with a magical goldfish (Ponyo) who yearns to experience the life of a human. (Basically The Little Mermaid without the romance). No sweat if Ponyo doesn’t match your vibe, because the Garland is showing Studio Ghibli films throughout the summer including The Boy and the Heron (July 3-6), Howl’s Moving Castle (July 31-Aug. 3) and Princess Mononoke (Aug. 21-24).
