Again and again. We watched Ponyo with my 7 year old and 3 year old son. Now the whole family can’t wait to watch The Secret World of Arrietty. Even me.

Like most technology with exhibitionist tendencies (read: anything with an Apple on it) it didn’t mind the nudity. It was just a little chilly that way. Also vulnerable. I pointed that out to the husband who is usually pro nudity in general, not just for technology. He asked a... Related posts:
