  • Not to be missed!

    Best Borrowers movie ever, and a true work of art. Rich in detail and color, with lighting effects that give amazing depth and realism to every scene. The characters are portrayed well. I would never have thought of setting the story in Japan, but it works beautifully. I love traditional Japanese architecture, and I love Borrowers, and they go together perfectly.

  • The Secret World of Arrietty is a beautiful combination of pure fantasy and romantic love.

    Of the many Ghibli Studio films I've watched recently, this is my favorite. Instead of action-filled plots and bizarre images, this has a story of what is, at heart, frustrated love. But it is not unrequited love, as both the lonely young boy and Arrietty quite obviously love each other, but they exist in very different worlds, and can never be together. How they try to help each other escape the dangers they face and how they care for each other makes a beautiful story.

  • Great imaginary world

    This movie is really fun to watch. It makes my imagination race every time I see it. The art in this is beautiful and you don't get bored with the storyline. I'd mark it as a must see classic.

  • Very cute movie!

    Wonderfully animated with beautiful music. Great little story about "Borrowers", a way to explain how and why little things seem to go missing around the house.

  • More of a cerebral animation than the run of the mill.

    Like most Studio Ghibli films, there are a lot of layers to this one. You can watch it 5 times and pick up on things that were missed times before. I can't say that about a majority of animations. Additionally, for Japanese language learners, these films are gold. You just listen in Japanese with English subtitles.
