Today we saw “Ponyo” with Maya, Jeramy, Liam, Aiden and Brian. It was directed by Hayao Miyazaki, who also created other Doescher household favorites “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Kiki’s Delivery Service”. The art and animation were superb, and the story thoughtful, funny and engaging. All of the kids - and adults - loved it (Maya and Katharine were jumping up and down in their seats at the end), and I appreciated seeing an animated movie with my kids that didn’t have the now obligatory pop culture asides and fart jokes.
In the spirit of the movie, Maya came back to our house afterwards and the kids all got a little wet.
