The two escape, leaving behind the rest of the night’s take. Surprise! It just so happens to be Shawn’s new bedroom. The two are discovered when they attempt to lift some tissue paper from a room that was formerly unoccupied. Shawn’s suspicions are confirmed the next night, when Arrietty’s father Pod takes her on her first “borrowing”.

While not an out and out discovery, Shawn is now fascinated that his Aunt’s stories of little people secretly living in the house might in fact be true. While he is subdued, he’s also bright and inquisitive, and stumbles upon Arrietty almost immediately upon arriving. Shawn is a melancholy youth, seemingly resigned to a heart condition that has a high chance of being fatal. Into Arrietty’s life comes Shawn (Alternately: Sho), a sickly young boy convalescing at his Aunt’s countryside villa. But make no mistake: I would be stealing, not borrowing. If I took five dollars out of the pocket of a millionaire, he might not notice or have need of that five dollars. They scratch out a living borrowing the things that people won’t notice are gone. They are “borrowers”: four inch tall humanoids that live in the places people never look. The Secret World of Arrietty (2010)Īrrietty is the only daughter of the Clock family. I have no scientific rationale for why I loved this movie, but I did. How this film is so good, not only despite these issues, but sometimes because of them is just another example of Miyazaki magic. For all the fun, however, the film has some inconsistencies that wouldn’t allow my brain to ignore them. And you’ll want to throw your drink at the screen whenever the villain does her villainy. You “oooh” and “ahh” when wonder is called for.

The film pulls the emotions out of you almost effortlessly. It’s Honey I Shrunk the Kids meets The Rescuers. I won’t bury the lede: this story is fun. Arrietty also boasts one of the most effective villains I’ve seen in a while. It is another one of Ghibli’s “childhood fantasy” films, with a delightful heroine doing awe-inspiring things. The movie shows all the polish and dedication to detail that is the hallmark of a Miyazaki film. Arrietty wasn’t directed by Hayao Miyazaki, but he did write the screenplay. The Secret World of Arrietty is a Japanese take on the English children’s novel The Borrowers. In advance of the month long celebration of Studio Ghibli films in theaters this August, I decided to take a gander at an earlier film that I had missed back in 2010. Which is strange, because the tale just didn’t add up in my mind.

VOD Review: The Secret World of Arrietty The Studio Ghibli interpretation of Mary Norton’s The Borrowers is a delightful movie that played my emotions like a violin.
