Exquisite animation and lively score creates a fantastical backdrop for this classic story about the little people who 'borrow' everyday...

Arrietty

5 stars

06 Mar 2023

Arrietty is a soul changing film about a tiny girl (a borrower) who only wants to explore. Unfortunately, she cannot do a lot of the things she loves because of the humans and how dangerous they can be to borrowers. Life continues like this until a boy accidentally sees her out in the garden one day and everything changes. Many people think that the borrowers are thieves, but Sho (the boy) does not. Suddenly, everything is changing, and they can't let Sho's grandmother find out about the borrowers, or they could be in big trouble. This film is an outstanding film full of wonder, excitement and curiosity and I would rate it 5 stars. I think that a lot of people would enjoy this especially people who like anime. Anime is a style of Japanese film aimed at both adults and children. Did you know that Sho was played by Tom Holland? I bet you didn't, actually maybe you did, well I didn't. I think that this film was mostly aimed at children because it seems like the sort of thing that most children 10 or under would like.
