Studio Ghibli Films Directed by Hayao Miyazaki Series:

Hayao Miyazaki is a well-known filmmaker of many popular animated feature films. He is also a co-founder of Studio Ghibli, an animation studio and production company. He remained largely unknown to the West, outside of animation communities, until Miramax released his 1997 Princess Mononoke. By that time, his films had already enjoyed both commercial and critical success in Japan and Central Asia. Miyazaki's films often incorporate recurrent themes, such as humanity's relationship to nature and technology, and the difficulty of maintaining a peacekeeper ethic. Reflecting Miyazaki's feminism, the protagonists of his films are often strong, independent girls or young women; the villains, when present, are often morally ambiguous characters with redeeming qualities.

崖の上のポニョ
“Gake no Ue no Ponyo”
Also known as “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea,” this film was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The plot centers on a goldfish named Ponyo who befriends a five-year-old human boy, Sosuke, and wants to become a human girl. The film has won several awards, including the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year. It was released in Japan on July 19, 2008 and August 14, 2009 in the US and Canada.
The English-dub version stars many famous voice actors including Noah Cyrus, Frankie Jonas, Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, and Cate Blanchett.
Directions:
Bayou Texar Boat Ramp
From Interstate 10, take Exit 17 for US-90 toward Pensacola/ Pace. Keep right at the fork to continue toward US-90 and merge onto US-90. You’ll go about 7 miles before you can turn Right at Stanley Ave, then, a Left at Strong St. The Bayou Texar Boat Ramp parking lot is on your Left. You’ll know when to turn Left when you see 2 yellow “No Outlet” signs on the left side of the ride; and a sign on the right side of the road with an arrow pointing right. You’ll turn into the “No Outlet” area.
From Interstate 110, take Exit 2 for Cervantes St/ US-90. Turn Left at Cervantes St/ US-90 and follow it for a little less than 2 miles. Turn Left onto Stanley Ave and then Left at Strong St. The Bayou Texar Boat Ramp parking lot is on your Left. You’ll know when to turn Left when you see 2 yellow “No Outlet” signs on the left side of the ride; and a sign on the right side of the road with an arrow pointing right. You’ll turn into the “No Outlet” area.
From US-98 west-bound, turn right at 17th Ave (that’s the first light you come to right after driving across the “3-Mile” Bridge). Then, turn Right at Cervantes St/ US-90 and follow it for a little over ½ a mile. Turn Left onto Stanley Ave and then Left at Strong St. The Bayou Texar Boat Ramp parking lot is on your Left. You’ll know when to turn Left when you see 2 yellow “No Outlet” signs on the left side of the ride; and a sign on the right side of the road with an arrow pointing right. You’ll turn into the “No Outlet” area.
Clues:
1) After turning into the “No Outlet” area, take your first Left and follow the road as it goes around the parking area. It will curve right and you’ll pass many shrubs before you come to a small parking area on your left. It would be best if you found a parking spot just at the end of this parking area…just before the road curves right again. The closer you park at the end, the closer you are to the next clue.
2) From the last parking spot, go into the grass, heading the same direction your car was going before you parked (in other words, if you were still in your car, your car would head into the grass and into many shrubs, trees and a small fenced area). On your left, is a sign stating, “Welcome to East Pensacola Heights, home of the Yellow Crown Night Heron.”
3) Face the sign. Observe a sidewalk behind you. Get on the sidewalk and head away from the bridge (which would be the direction to your right if you were facing the sign).
4) Just before you approach a green sign stating “Marina Oyster Barn”, stop at a large Y-shaped oak on your left.
5) On the backside of the oak, wrapped around a shrub branch, about 1 ft off the ground is a black duct-taped bag. It might be best for you to reach it from the left side of the tree.
NOTE: The bag is probably too small to fit a hitchhiker and wrap comfortably around the branch.
6) When finished please be sure to seal all bags completely. Be sure to put the baggie for the logbook and the baggie for the stamp in a 2nd bag, and then place back into the duct-taped bag.
7) Please re-hide the bag better than how you found it.
8) Please log your find in to either AtlasQuest.com or Letterboxing.org
