What’s Inside This Collection
Signature Movie Scenes
Several pages recreate the film’s most memorable moments: Ponyo racing across the waves beside a moving car, Ponyo running atop a huge open-mouthed fish as the storm surges, Sosuke cradling Ponyo in her fishbowl, Sosuke folding origami boats and stars, and Sosuke tucking a sleeping Ponyo in.
Sosuke and Ponyo Together
The largest group of pages shows the pair together in everyday moments: eating ramen, flying a fish-shaped kite, sailing a small boat, picking flowers, and standing by the ocean.
Seasonal and Festive Scenes
A dedicated page shows Ponyo in a Santa hat underwater beside a Christmas tree, and another shows her in a kimono under blooming cherry blossoms.
Ponyo and Sosuke Solo Portraits
Many pages show Ponyo or Sosuke on their own, giving colorists a range of simple, expressive designs in both fish and human form.
Supporting Characters
Fujimoto, Ponyo’s father, Granmamare, her mother, and one of Ponyo’s sisters each appear in their own pages.
What These Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and the simple solo portraits suit that age range well, while the detailed signature-scene pages reward older colorists who enjoy more detail.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and a gentle, ocean-themed story like Ponyo’s gives a young fan a calm, absorbing subject.
Ponyo is a 2008 Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki, following a young fish girl who wants to become human after meeting a boy named Sosuke.
How to Color Ponyo Pages Well
- Ponyo (fish form): a warm coral-red body with a round face, kept bright and rounded.
- Ponyo (human form): pale skin, and a simple bright red dress that echoes her fish-form coloring.
- Sosuke: a yellow raincoat and dark hair, kept simple against Ponyo’s brighter palette.
- Ocean scenes: layered blues and teals for the waves, with white highlights to suggest movement and foam.
- Fujimoto: a cool blue-green palette that matches his connection to the sea.
