Join us in the auditorium for the boy-meets-fish story PONYO
(101 minutes, rated G). 

This award-winning Japanese animated film, released in the U.S. in 2008 by Walt Disney Pictures, was dubbed into English by an all-star cast including Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, Tina Fey, Betty White, Lily Tomlin and Cloris Leachman.

Highly rated by both critics and audiences, it’s the magical tale of a goldfish who wants to become a human girl.

Critics describe Ponyo, inspired by the fairy tale “The Little Mermaid,” as delightful and funny—a “visually breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators,” says Roger Ebert. Entertainment Weekly said of the director, “Don’t tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic kingdom.”

Date: Friday, January 20th

Time: 6-8 PM. (Note: Movie will start within 10-15 minutes of posted start time. Don’t be late! )

Price: $5 donation per person. Free popcorn while it lasts. Organic hot dogs (beef, chicken and/or turkey) and other healthy snacks will be available for sale at the concession stand from the PS9 PTO Wellness Committee. All proceeds support the PTO.
