Arrietty: Blu Ray Review
Rating: G
Released by Madman Home Entertainment
Released by Madman Home Entertainment
Another Studio Ghibli
outing, Arietty is essentially an animated version of the classic tale The
Borrowers.
This time around Arietty is
one of the small creatures living at the end of the garden of sickly child Sho.
Arietty is desperate to be
part of the borrowing crowd and so one night, she goes out with her dad to "borrow"
a few things.
However, Sho sees Arietty
and while initially welcoming, this meeting sets in motion a chain of events
which causes all of them to inadvertently suffer.
Arrietty is another fine
example of the quality of product emerging from Studio Ghibli, and while this
is a very slight tale, it's charming and sweet and with a high quality of
animation.
The interplay between the
characters is wonderful and there's something timelessly magical about the nature
of the story; its animation is charming too but it's all pretty and family
friendly.
