Animated Dreams / Director: Hiromasa Yonebayashi

Arrietty

The film´s world is both gorgeously detailed and thrillingly realized from the perspective of it´s title heroine and her family of ”littles”, who stand 10cm tall. The story of her life under the floorboards of a human house, and her friendship with a human boy … all in all, Arrietty is another Ghibli triumph.

 

Mark Schilling, The Japan Times

 

Hiromasa Yonebayashi, a top Ghibli animator who did some of the breathtaking work on Miyazaki's Ponyo, makes a very dignified directing debut here, ably drawing viewers into the friendship between a human boy and a girl the size of Tom Thumb.

 

Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter

 

Yet another visually rich and elegantly detailed Ghibli picture. which is guaranteed to delight and enthrall anyone of any age. (…) A beautifully crafted, intimate adventure movie and one of the most visually arresting you´ll enjoy all year.

 

Dan Jolin, Empire
