The latest film by Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki is a box-office success in the United States, one year after it became a number one hit in Japan.
"Ponyo" opened at more than 900 US cinemas on August 14th, a new record for the Japanese director.
Walt Disney Pictures is the movie's distributor in the US. Hollywood actors, including Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett, provide the English voiceovers.
Eight-year-old child actors play a goldfish girl, Ponyo, and a Japanese boy, Sosuke. The theme song is sung in English.
Children at a cinema in New York said the movie is more enjoyable than they expected, and some said that Sosuke is adorable.
A US research firm, Box Office Mojo, says "Ponyo" ranked 9th in its first week, and 12th a week later. The company says the figures are good for a children's movie.
