Arrietty Review

I ain't done with you yet Ghibli.

The story is from the point of view of Sho who explains the story of the Borrowers from a week during summer at his mother's childhood home.
The Borrowers are tiny people who live in the floorboards of houses and as the name suggests, borrow things from humans but their society is a closely guarded secret so any form of discovery and they move on to another place, this version could be seen as just another house they visit. Being British and the story being British written, this is the weakest version of the Borrowers, mostly because I expected more from such an idea in anime format be it film or TV series, yet what I got was a version so watered down it lost it's whimsy and became boring.
Dubbing is better but lacking still.
Final Verdict: This film lacks whimsy, imagination and adventure, it's just so boring to sit through that reading the Borrowers would actually be easier.
