Review of The Secret World of Arrietty (2010) by Bikerjames — 20 Feb 2012

The Secret World of Arrietty is visually stunning. So much detail drawn into every frame just like all movies from Studio Ghibli. In fact, you will swear it is a Hayao Miyazaki film - it certainly has the look and feel.

In fact, the master animator wrote the screenplay, but did not direct it, but his handiwork is obvious. The story itself is charming, although predictable for adults. I saw it in a theater with kids, and most children, except for the very young, were quiet and seemingly transfixed.

It isn't a classic like "Spirited Away" but if you're a fan of Miyazaki you will like it.
