Here’s a look at the bonus features you can expect from the Japanese Ponyo Blu-ray:
- Storyboard
- Theatrical Trailers (2 Types)
- TV Spots (11 Types)
- Tie-in TV Spots (3 Types)
- Nitterechin Spots (2 Types)
- Non-credit Ending (Long Version)
- Theme Song Release
- Press Conference
- Dubbing Session Footage
