You briefly mentioned the mermaid yokai, Ningyo, which also ties an awful lot to Ponyo having a human face and the flooding. If the Ningyo is caught (and usually eaten) they cause massive natural disasters such as earthquakes or, in this specific case, tsunamis and flooding. Toki, one of the elderly women in the senior centre, makes a comment about this when she sees Ponyo for the first time and starts freaking out saying "It has a real face on it! Hurry up! Put it back in the ocean. Don’t you realize it’ll cause a tsunami? Fish with faces who come out of the sea cause tsunamis- that’s what they always say.!" While Ponyo might not necessarily be a yokai, her design and the story is very much inspired by the yokai tales

Interestingly, in the concept artwork book “The Art of Ponyo” Miyazaki’s earliest sketches for Ponyo in fish form closely resemble a goldfish as we would understand them to be (with a scales all over, large fish eyes, and a gaping fish mouth). I suspect they changed her design to be more cutesy since the realistic goldfish face admittedly was a face only the mother of the sea could love, haha

Also, look at the Sea Goddess' beads on her necklace. The beads look similar to magatama stones, which are one of the three sacred Shinto objects that are worn in many on necklaces. Only, while most magatama beads are made of jade or are green, her stones are red. Perhaps she's also inspired by a few Shinto gods or goddesses. There are a few kami of the sea, like Susanno and dragons.

About The Little Mermaid, you literally forget the most important detail, why she became an air spirit. She did so because her sisters bargained for a magical knife, if the mermaid were to kill the prince with it she'd be free of the deal. But because she couldn't bring herself to kill the prince, she was made into an air spirit as a reward for her selfless nature, and as an air spirit she was told she were to receive a soul if she served humanity for 300 years.

@@ash_lee_12 in one version, the Little mermaid does indeed become sea foam, stepping into the sea at dawn or dusk, the time of transition. Norse mythology views the nine waves of the sea, each capped with white foam, as primordial goddesses; they are, together, the mother of Heimdall. In effect, the mermaid might be said to become one of, or one with, these goddesses. Anderson’s tale, though, does have her ascend to a next stage of being - water (pre-birth), earth (life) and then air (post-death existence, a kind of benign Purgatory).

The reason the kid thinks she is a gold fish is cuz well gold fish is the most common fresh fish in general esp for kids.... I don’t think it has anything to do with folklore. Miyazaki is an artist, of course he gets his inspiration from paintings. And kids stories from folklores and Grimm etc.

If you ever go to the museum in Japan you can see his old workspace and thousands of drawing where he does indeed always draw a tonne of inspiration from different art pieces as well as classical music. He is extremely knowledgeable about old mythologies as a lot of his drawing resemble more historical scenarios before becoming the Ghibli animation we get to see on screen at the end of this process.

When Brunhilde/Ponyo runs on the waves, their shapes resemble the waves shown in the classic 19th century woodblock print "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa".

Cross-cultural mythology condensed into an animated feature nearly guarantees widespread appeal.

Andersen's tale is disturbing, but remember that he was the one who added the happy ending in the first place. The story of the Nixie who transforms into a human to be with her love but isn't loved back by him was very common in medieval times and was widely reused during Romanticism. Andersen rewrote it to represent the discrimination and rejection he suffered due to his bisexuality.

Here's something really neat: if you get the art book, you'll find that Granmamare was originally a giant catfish who would turn into a beautiful woman, which would've made her literally a fish. After further research, I found out that goldfish, carp (koi) AND catfish are related breeds. PLUS it's cannon: Fujimoto was once a "pupil of Captain Nemo", which also matches Miyazaki's comment that he's over a hundred years old. You got it right! Jules Verne works x ghibli canon crossover=epicness

I think Ponyo is also an Amabie coz she can heal people with their sicknesses and also having some avian features when she’s in her mid-mermaid form
