...like that. So I started thinking of a goldfish." The young fish, named Brunhild, is swimming with her sisters in Miyazaki's sea when she escapes this seeming paradise, floating up to the surface and getting her snout stuck in a jar. A 5-year-old boy on the shore yanks her out. He is Sosuke (voiced by Frankie Jonas, the youngest of the Jonas brood, in the U.S. version), and he decides to call his new pet Ponyo...
...brought him down to Sardinia's sandy shore one evening last week, though for once we kept him tight on his leash. He spent the two hours barking and digging a hole, probably in search of something to eat.

At a community event, he dropped a reference to the television show Frasier while playing Simon Says with a few dozen African-American kids and their parents.
