Thanks to the always awesome TwitchFilm.net, we have a list of the English voice actors for MIYAZAKI HAYAO’S Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, via GhibliWorld.com, which had the following to say about the cast:
“Though one will not deny using stardom does not automatically guarantee a good voice dub, it will at least be useful in gaining the mainstream audience’s attention. Those wanting to find out what the end result will be still have the wait a bit though. Test screenings are currently being held, the final version will screen in US theaters in 2009.”
So here’s the English voice cast for Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (in no particular order):

- Matt Damon
- Tina Fey
- Cate Blanchett
- Liam Neeson
- Lily Tomlin
- Betty White
- Fankie Jonas
- Noah Cyrys
- Cloris Leachman
Even though I’m usually against casting ‘movie stars’ as voice actors in animated films, I particularly like the choices of Matt Damon,Tina Fey,Cate Blanchett and Liam Neeson. They’re each talented actors who seem to be a nice fit for animation, even though we don’t know what roles they play.
What do you think about the English cast?

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
Who wants to bet that Cate Blanchett plays the sea goddess? And Liam Neeson plays the Sea King?

This movie only opens in my country, Singapore, in Jan 2008. Still a long wait. I’ve seen the art book and it’s awesome.
