The new animated feature from master film marker Hayao Miyazaki, Ponyo, is getting a wide release in North America. Hayao Miyazki came out of semi retirement in 2003 to direct “Howl’s Moving Castle” and it seems like he isn’t going to stop making movies anytime soon.

The story is about a goldfish named Ponyo who becomes friends with a young boy and decides to live among the humans. However, once Ponyo makes the decision it creates a crack in an ancient magic spell that puts the world order in danger. The movie will open in US theaters on August 14th and will be fantastic. We’re talking about Hayao Miyazaki after all.

But the real reason to watch the trailer: Liam fucking Neeson
