This is simply beautiful, i really wish i could dream this at night. This movie brings you back the childhood.
This movie melted my heart <3
Another great release from Ghibli, it's good to see the quality should still live on after Miyazaki!
Love this movie! Amazing animation work by Ghibli Studio!!
Love Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki creations. I feel so many emotions every time I watch one of his films. :)
After 15 years primarily as an animator for Studio Ghibli, Hiromasa Yonebayashi's directoral debut is a wonderful telling of Mary Nortons classic tale.
Gorgeous art direction leaves no mistake that this is Ghibli.
The films sound design is incredibly detailed. The scene where Arrietty sees the kitchen for the first time and she pieces together all the sounds she has heard through the walls and the objects that make them is wonderful.
Cécile Corbel music score is beautifully touching.
Smaller in scope than many Studio Ghibli films it feels very much at home along side works like Ponyo and The Cat Returns.
this is wow perfection great
A cozy, easygoing film about the tiny people who live in the walls, embarking upon overnight expeditions between floors while we sleep. Borrowing what crumbs and scraps they can, they go about their quaint, peaceful little lives, content to exist in silent parallel. Apart from the risk of being caught in the open by a hungry cat or bird, their greatest mutual fear is being noticed by the big folks. Keep your head down and the status quo might just support you forever.
With a lack of major stakes, just that eternal threat of discovery, we settle in for ninety minutes of serenely observing this happy little world. Which is exactly the type of work Studio Ghibli loves to produce. Even in their most dramatic, consequential pictures, the famed Japanese animation house will habitually obsess over the little, poetic details. It’s part of what I love about them, and in this context it’s enveloping. All the fun of a concept-first story like this one lies in the minutiae, in seeing everyday items repurposed to meet smaller needs. The little clip Arrietty uses to pull her hair back. The sewing needle she modifies into a rapier. Those micro delights, plus the sense of grand exploration in a fantastical setting, are Ghibli’s bread and butter, and here, we get all we could ever ask for.
The Secret World of Arrietty might not be Ghibli’s most mesmerizingly beautiful film, nor their most emotionally engaging, but not everything needs to meet such lofty standards. What exists instead is an effortlessly simple, relaxing watch that doesn’t strive for more. Comfort food for the silver screen.
no bro you live in a society i live in the secret world of arrietty
The original title of the film is Kari-gurashi no Arietti.
A really refreshing Euro centers Ghibli. The story is told many times but the style, fantasy elements and animations are top notch. It's amazing how the studio can make non existing characters and still make them so... Believable in a sense of that word. Really easy to get into anime movie for the non hardcore Ghibli viewers!
Has become one of my favorite Studio Ghibli films, amazing animation same with story and pacing also god tier soundtrack
"A fresh take on Mary Norton's classic The Borrowers."
oh wow this one its amazing!!!!
I love Ghibli movies and honestly who doesn't. But this time I felt like something's missing. Maybe some "beans"? It needed some more imagination/sparks in my eyes. The story could have been so much more thrilling.
The human beans are dangerous.(laugh)
Guess I was in the wrong mood when watching this.. Loved all other Ghibli films, but thought this was just boring and unimaginative (in comparison with other Ghibli). Will have to see it again another time, perhaps I'll change my opinion.
Fantastic movie. In comparison with the American version: The Borrowers (1997) i like this version a lot more.
Visually speaking this movie is stunning, but i did not expect anything else from Ghibli.
Like always Studio Ghibli delivered a fantastic movie that both visually and story-wise is in perfect condition. It's not quite the same as the highly prized Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke, but still overall i would highly recommend to watch this movie.
Again a stunning Ghibli, almost as good as Spirited Away. Score: 8/10.

"The Secret World of Arrietty 2010" is yet another good adventure movie from Studio Ghibli, who manages to maintain its unique artistic style throughout the years.
