Trailer for Miyazaki's new film "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea": http://youtube.com/watch?v=Dq-qoC5i3u4
Looks beautiful, doesn't it?!
Movie synopsis (spoiler alert!): "A small town facing the sea.
Sosuke is a boy who lives at a house on a cliff. One day he meets a fish girl called Ponyo who rides a jellyfish and ran away from home. Ponyo puts her head into a jam jar, but can't get out of it and struggles. Sosuke happens to find it and helps her.
Ponyo falls in love with Sosuke and so does Sosuke. "I'll guard you", says Sosuke. However, Ponyo is brought back to the sea by her father Fujimoto. He once quit being a human and became an inhabitant of the sea.
"I want to become human!", says Ponyo. She asks her small sisters for help to steal her father's magic and starts in the human world where Sosuke lives.
The dangerous power of the water of life is released. The sea bulges up, a storm rages and the sisters transform into huge fishes. As a huge tsunami they all rush towards the cliff Sosuke lives at.
A boy and a girl. Love and responsibility. Sea and life. In the age of psychoneurosis and anxiety, this is a story of a mother and child that Miyazaki Hayao depicts without any hesitance."

About the singing in the trailer: "One of the first things to note upon opening of the trailer is its soundtrack. Used as background music is Ponyo’s Totoro-like theme song that was released last December. It is not the same though. This time it is the “flawed” test version sung by the little 8 year old Ohashi Nozomi, consisting of only her voice backed up by some piano play."
