The Secret World of Arrietty
★★★★
Director: Hiromasa Yonebayashi
Year: 2010
Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli fims are synonymous with great films, storytelling and animation. And this does not disappoint. Although, this was possibly one of the simplest stories they’ve ever produced. But it’s about a brave, young girl who happens to be miniature. And, as my daughter described the story, it’s about friendship. Between her and a normal, full-grown boy.
It’s a very beautiful film and will bring a smile to your face at it’s simplicity. It’s just incredible at how well an animated film could be with some great storytelling.
