Story Summary - Spoiler Alert
At the beginning of the movie, we see a man throw a drop into the water, which causes many fish to be born. This is the husband of a sea god named Fujimoto. He was previously a man but due to human greed, he now lives in the water. And he has many children, all of whom have human faces. His eldest daughter Ponyo who avoids her father's eyes and rides a jellyfish across the ocean.
Then we see a five-year-old boy named Sosuke who lives on an island with his mother and his father is an officer on a ship. Who is away on his job. Sosuke comes out to play by the sea. Then we see a ship cleaning up the garbage in the sea and there he gets stuck in a jar. Although he can get out of the net, he is still stuck in the jar. Then Sosuke finds it and breaks it and pulls out the canal. It cuts his hand a little but Ponyo licks it off.
Then the sea woman's husband Fujimoto comes in front of him but Sosuke's mother saves him and drives him away. Then after school Sosuke takes Ponyo to his mother's nursing home and meets old women there, one of the women gets scared and says that its face looks like a human's and that a sea storm is coming soon.
Then Sosuke's father calls and says that he will be back late at night but his mother gets angry. Then at night he talks to his father using Morse code. Then Ponyo's father gets very angry with him and Ponyo tells his father that he loves Sosuke and that he wants to be human. Then both of his legs fall off because he drank Sosuke's blood. But his father uses magic to turn him back into a fish.
Then seeing this, her other sisters eat her and free her, so Koi slowly becomes human and her sisters find a way to escape. And then a big storm comes and her sisters become big fish and help her move towards the city but it starts to bring a big sea storm to the city. Hey in the tsunami we see Sosuke going with his mother and she sees Ponyo then they bring her home.
Then we see a help ship going to look for the launches that were lost in this storm but they see a lot of lights in the distance they think there are a lot of people there but a little later we see that they are all lights from ships. Then the sea god comes and fixes everything and tells her husband that she can love people and that today there is no reason to be angry with him if he really loves her he will lose all his power.
The next day we see that the sea level has risen a lot, the water has come out of the house then Sosuke and Ponyo both go out to look for their mother and their mothers are under the water that the sea god has taken refuge in. Then Prannoy's father takes them both underwater. Then the sea goddess asks Ponyo if she loves Sosu? When she says yes, she says that if she becomes human, all her magic will be lost. Then she traps her in a bubble and gives it to Sosu, saying that if you truly love her, whoever kisses her will become human forever.
With that, she kisses him and Ponyo turns from a fish into a five-year-old girl, and the story ends there.
My Explanation

Like other Studio Ghibli movies, the animation of Ponyo is also captivating. The underwater scenes are wonderfully drawn, and the wonderful use of color throughout the movie captivates the audience.
🔹Music-
The background music of the movie is very emotional and appropriate. The soundtrack composed by Joe Hisaishi plays an important role in creating the atmosphere of the story.
🔹Last word-
Ponyo is a movie that everyone, young and old, can enjoy. You will enjoy this story made of magic, adventure, and love.

NOTE: All the content is mine unless otherwise noted.
I loved this film, it is one of the most tender from Studio Ghibli, it lacks depth but it is perfect for all audiences, both children and adults, it fills us with nostalgia. But apart from the summary of the film, I would like to know your opinion about it, what you think about it, positive or negative aspects.
Its animation and the story it has is very much related to our childhood stories. It was very relatable to see it like a dream of my own.
It was very simple and estate forward as other movies have a lot of depth in the story and the movie ends a bit early at the end without explaining much.
But overall I like it a lot and it connected me with my childhood. I apologize for not being able to add it to my review but I will definitely keep it in mind in the future. Thank you very much.
