Here's all the latest info on the latest Studio Ghilbi movie "Ponyo".
I've also chucked in the Official US movie poster aswell (© 2009 Nibariki-GNDHDDT).
Western Studio Ghibli fans will be relieved to know that Hayao Miyazaki’s latest animated film ‘Ponyo’ is due to launch in the US on August 14th. Marking Miyazaki’s tenth contribution to the Ghibli collection, the story focuses around the friendship between a baby fish (Ponyo) and a five year old boy called Sōsuke. The film has been planned to open across 800 screens in the US, which is the biggest opening of any Miyazaki animation to date. Topping the record breaking domestic release by a whole 319 screens.
Ponyo is known in Japan by its full title; “Gake no Ue no Ponyo” (崖の上のポニョ), which when translated becomes “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea”. This was then shortened by Walt Disney Home Entertainment, for the US release. Miyazaki first released Ponyo in Japan on July 19th 2008, which despite being in competition with the latest Pokemon movie, reached 83% of Spirited Away’s opening figures by 3pm on the first day. The film then went on to gross a record breaking ¥30.4 billion ($284 million USD) in cinema alone. Ponyo will be released on DVD in Japan on Friday July 3rd.
The US release of Ponyo will be dubbed by a variety of famous actors; Matt Damon... read more. (http://japcult.blogspot.com/2009/06/ponyo-us-release-august-14th-2009.html)

Personally already having seen this film, I would highly recommend it to any fan of Miyazaki's work. Unfortunately, I can't vouch for what the US dubbing will be like though... Maaatt Daaaamon. >_<
