Big Thanks 2 Dante!

I thought Ghibli would be very Off Topic on this board, Dante. But since you mentioned the new Ponyo movie of which I haven´t heard of (It´s from Studio Ghibli, and its director Miyazaki, if someone want to check it out.) I started Googling for info about the Ponyo movie:

The maker of Spirited Away, Kiki´s Delivery Service, Totoro, etc. spend a lot of time just watching children! Read on:

"Miyazaki's 10th movie, the story of a young goldfish that longs to become human, is another chapter in his lifelong struggle to interpret the world of children, explains the director, who says Ghibli has recently built a crèche for its staff where he spends a lot of his time. "I look at them and try to see things as they do. If I can do that, I can create universal appeal." The relationship is two-way, he says. "We get strength and encouragement from watching children. I consider it a blessing to be able to do that, and to make movies in this chaotic, testing world."

Humans face a basic choice between love or money, he believes. "A five-year-old understands that in a way an adult obsessed with the economy and share prices cannot. I make movies that can be understood by that five-year-old, and to bring out that purity of heart.""

Ah, so now I understand more why I always have loved Studio Ghibli`s movies so much! :D I love the innoccent, pure worlds they create... The fight of good and evil, and purity of the heart always wins.

This really made my day, or week, probably! :D

Thanks, Dante!
