It is the story of the Clock family, who are four-inch-tall people living anonymously in another family's residence, borrowing simple items to make their home. That’s why they are called BORROWERS. Life changes for the Clocks when the... read more

Before watching this I obviously read what it's about, as I could tell straight away it was clearly aimed at children, so I knew it wasn't going to be anything too deep. But what didn't get my expectations so high was the fact that it wasn't directed by Miyazaki, which was kind of a huge let dow... read more

"de 4/10 para 8/10 É uma história bonita sobre um menino com câncer, é bem lenta e a mensagem final considero inspiradora"
“Studio Ghibli have been responsible for some of my favourite animated movies, especially Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, Castle in the Sky and My Neighbour Totoro. In fact I haven't seen a Ghibli I dislike, even their weakest Tales from Earthsea while problematic is worth a viewing. Arietty is not one of Ghibli's best, but that doesn't stop it from being a truly charming film. As with all Studio Ghibli's work, the visuals are stunning, with the colours especially having such an ethereal quality to them, and the music has a pleasant Celtic lilt making the movie even more beautiful than it already is. The script amused and touched me, and the storytelling doesn't rely on wisecracks and action(not that it's a bad thing as such) but instead it is subtle and gentle wit” read more

"First viewing - May 15th Another kiddo pick. I like this take on The Borrowers and we both had a mostly good time watching it. The film gets extra points for giving us a different ending than we were anticipating too. I liked the characters well enough and overall it's a solid film. I don't think I'd need to watch it twice, but I wouldn't complain should that occur."

Animación bonita, como siempre, pero en esta película no sucede absolutamente nada de relevancia.
Mala película de Miyazaki y estudio Ghibli.” read more

“Superb Animation movie with a very powerful story and magical animation. I watched the movie in Japanese with English subtitles and really enjoyed it.”

" Visually gorgeous, delightfully free of tacked on humor, bizarrely weird, filled with depth and at times strikingly beautiful. This is a film that does many things right and reminds us of why we love Studio Ghibli. It's a very cute film. Yet, it's altered by some issues that keeps it from being among Studio Ghibli's greatest films. The first and foremost issue is the pacing. At times it feels incredibly slow, which shouldn't be necessary in a film in this genre. There is also the fact that mus"
