Chihiro and her family are on their way to their new house in the suburbs when her father decides to take a shortcut along a lonely-looking dirt road. After getting out of the car and walking along a path for a while, they discover an open-air restaurant filled with food but with no workers or customers present.

Two young girls, Mei and Satsuki, move into a new home that is close to the hospital that their mother is in. In their yard is an extremely large tree which is home to three Totoros, gods of the forest.

This heart-warming story by famed and beloved director Miyazaki centers around Ponyo, a tiny fish-girl who dreams of being human. Reminiscent of classic story "The Little Mermaid", she is washed ashore and rescued by a young boy, Sosuke, but despite their friendship she simply has to return to the oceans.
