Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

From my favorite movies..

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is defintly one of my top favourite anime movies I have seen. I have watched both the Disney and the UK dub and I like both dubs but I think Sho/Shawn's voice actor was a miscast as the character because the character had a russian accent instead of an american thats why Tom Holland (Spider-Man Homecoming) did better but for the voice of Pod I prefer Will Arrenet (Lego Batman,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) but Mark Strong (Green Lantern) is okay as Pod. However for the voice of Arriety I think both voice actress were cute and pitch for the voice of the character. In both dubs the characters had an equal amount of miscasts. As for the story it was just beautiful how a relationship between a human and a borrower can form it is sad though that they had to movie because they were discovered and at the same time Sho was going through pain because of his heart operation. My overall view beautiful movie. Must watch you won't regret it.

Arrietty is the only child of a family of borrowers living well hidden from the normal human beings. As they were carrying on their peaceful lives, building their home and working for supplies, Arrietty gets accidentally seen by Shawn, an ordinary boy whose life was permanently troubled by his sickened heart. Inevitable, the two start to make contact but this simple and apparently innocent act is going to cause a lot of trouble in both of their lives.It's an original idea superbly drawn and animated into this gorgeous movie. I absolutely love how it looks and how the whole "tiny" adventure is presented from both perspectives. It's thrilling, dramatic and full of suspense featuring some emotional songs which really managed to create a very enjoyable atmosphere. Everything about this movie is great, without any doubt. A real work of art I might say!

Based on the Mary Norton novel, this is one anime film you ought to see. One of the few movies that was mixed as a background film, it's more than you think of it. To put the animated film in a simple way, it's a beautifully crafted, intimate adventure movie and — presented in hand-drawn 2- dimensional — one of the most visually arresting you'll enjoy all year. It didn't get much attention as Spirited Away, Your Name, or Howl's Moving Castle, but it's not the worst of the anime bunch.The beauty of anime movies is that they have such depth and heart, and this film is a perfect example. There are some cons to this film, but they're very little. One thing is that David Henrie, doesn't sound like himself at all, according to my sister. And like most films, it kind of takes me a long time to figure out which actor is which.

When I first heard of this movie I was very skeptical about it. I thought: "Is this worth it or is it just some boring lame cartoon?" Well... I must say that I LOVED IT! Even from the start I liked the characters and from there it got better and better. It's definitely a good film for kids and just about anybody who enjoys a cute anime with sweet atmosphere and very awesome visuals. The scenery is just beautiful and colorful.I must say, though, that it is better to watch the movie in original Japanese audio. Not because the English version is bad of something but you can really "feel" the film with it's "natural" language. That's my opinion. At the end I loved everything about it. Still... I would have like to see past the ending of it, because it made me want more of the story. There is great material in this movie and it would have made a fine series of episodes if given the chance. I watched it, I loved it, I would watch it again and love it again. It was worth my time and I think that if you like any good anime, this is the stuff for you.
