question

"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."

Am I the only one who feels that if he wants to know how children see and think.....just recalls what he thought and felt in his own childhood?

I mean do most people forget it or something?

I like what his saying here, but I'd really like to see more artists address the topic of child sexuality.
