Animated adventure inspired by The Little Mermaid, from director Hayao Miyazaki and featuring the voices of Liam Neeson and Cate Blanchett. When young Sosuke saves the life of a beautiful fish who washes onshore near his coastal home, he soon discovers that she is no ordinary creature.
If a Sunday afternoon stretches ahead emptily you could do worse than fill it with this fantastical Japanese anime. It comes from writer-director Hayao Miyazaki, a fairy tale on his recurring theme of people and nature inspired by the Little Mermaid story. Here, the heroine is a goldfish-girl who befriends a human boy and wants to become human herself. The voice cast is top-drawer: listen out for Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, Cate Blanchett and Tina Fey.
