Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. We first meet Ponyo at her father Fujimoto's undersea home as he uses magic elixir. What does Ponyo ride to escape her father and get to the surface?

Answer: A jellyfish

Fujimoto is obviously watchful of all his children, as Ponyo has to depend on passing fish and her many smaller sisters to distract him during her escape. Ponyo uses a second jellyfish on top of her "ride" as an airtight canopy for her journey to the surface.

2. Having made her escape from Fujimoto, Ponyo meets a five-year-old boy named Sosuke on the surface under what circumstances?

Answer: Sosuke finds her washed up on shore.

Ponyo is trapped in a jar dredged up by a trawling net when Sosuke finds her. Pollution caused by humans also helps foil one of Fujimoto's later attempts to follow Ponyo when he locates her.

Answer: Ponyo tastes the blood from a cut on Sosuke's finger.

Sosuke uses a rock to break the jar in which Ponyo is trapped, cutting himself on a shard of glass while doing so. Sosuke notices soon after that the wound is completely healed just a few minutes after Ponyo licks it.

4. Koichi, Sosuke's father, is rarely seen during the movie. What does he do?

Answer: Captain of a ship

Koichi is out to sea on his ship during most of the movie. Koichi later sees Ponyo in her mermaid form running on top of the waves during a storm caused by Ponyo herself after her transformation. He mistakes her for a human girl about Sosuke's age.

5. How does Ponyo get around when she and Sosuke are together and she is in the form of a fish?

Answer: Ponyo rides in a bucket.

When Fujimoto finds Ponyo and takes her home, Sosuke hangs Ponyo's bucket on a
fence at his house so she can recognize it if she sees it again. When Ponyo escapes from Fujimoto again and changes into her mermaid form, she finds the bucket and as a result recognizes Sosuke again.

6. "Ponyo" was released in Japan with Japanese dialog. What company released "Ponyo" in the US with English dialog?

Answer: Disney

"Ponyo" was Japan's highest-grossing film in any genre in 2008, making over $170
million during its initial Japanese run. Other Disney adaptations of Hayao Miyazaki's works include "Kiki's Delivery Service" and "Spirited Away".

7. What does Ponyo steal from Sosuke's sandwich as his mother Lisa drives him to kindergarten?

Answer: Ham

Ponyo's love of ham is confirmed later as Lisa gives her two pieces of her own to eat at Sosuke's house. Ponyo is not very experienced with human food, though, as she slurps her tea and eats the ham too fast, burning her mouth.

8. Next door to Sosuke's kindergarten is a place where several people are on a first-name basis with him. What kind of facility is it?

Answer: Nursing home

Lisa works at the nursing home. She was running late the day that Sosuke found Ponyo, and almost couldn't get to work or take Sosuke to kindergarten because a large ship was being moved on rails across town, blocking the road. Fujimoto saw Ponyo with Sosuke and Lisa in her car and tried to follow them as they drove, but pollution slowed him down and he couldn't catch them.

9. Sosuke's bossy schoolmate Kumiko meets Ponyo for the first time under a tree near the kindergarten. How does Ponyo retaliate when Kumiko calls her ugly and fat?

Answer: Spits water on her

Sosuke hides Ponyo in her bucket under the tree because he doesn't think the teacher will let him bring Ponyo inside. Later, Ponyo and Sosuke see Kumiko again aboard a passing rescue boat as they search for Lisa.

Answer: He sends waves to shore to wash her out to sea.

Sosuke desperately tries to rescue Ponyo from Fujimoto, but the water is too deep for him to succeed. Heartbroken by his loss, not even an ice cream cone shared with his mother can lift Sosuke's spirits.
