Tina Fey provided the English voice for the character Lisa in the 2008 Studio Ghibli animated film Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. Lisa is the mother of the young boy Sōsuke and works at a nursing home in a seaside village. Her role in the film serves as an emotional anchor, representing the human world that must find balance with the magical underwater realm. Fey's casting was part of a tradition for Disney-distributed Studio Ghibli films in North America to feature prominent actors in their English dubs, with Ponyo's cast also including Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, and Liam Neeson. While Fey is a prolific voice actor in American animation, with credits including Roxanne Ritchi in Megamind and 22 in Pixar's Soul, her work on Ponyo represents a notable foray into English dubs of anime. No information is available about recurring collaborations with specific anime directors or studios beyond this single credit.
