the secret world of arrietty full movie english dub 12

Interview with Director Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Studio Ghibli maestro Hayao Miyazaki: A pretty lengthy featurette, with the pair sharing details on the adaptation of the books, as well as making the films.Feature-Length Storyboards: A showcase of Hayazo Miyazaki’s own concept storyboards, shown in a way to flip between them and the final product.It’s again worth noting the price of these releases is FAR more competitive than past efforts, including the recent Disney releases. The package contains both Blu-ray and DVD copies of the film. Dubbed English and French versions of the film are included, as is a Japanese version with English dubtitles, in addition to the original English and French subtitle translations from the original Japanese version. Vivid, bold colors, sharp detail it’s a presentation that showcases the beautiful artistry of the film. Shout! Factory continues the high standard set with their previous releases in this series. Its lessons about enjoying life, about pushing yourself, all while tempering those instincts as you mature, resonate in a truly disarming manner. As antagonists this is a perfectly serviceable aspect of the film, but where it’s true strength lies is in Arrietty’s journey. Coming from a well rounded family, with the depiction of loving parents, the only real negative force in the film comes from the larger people who choose to not try and understand something new. While trouble in the film stems from her nature, it’s not portrayed in a negative light.

A wonderful audience surrogate to draw you in, her enthusiasm is infectious. Arrietty is driven, inquisitive, resourceful, and just a little bit reckless. It also follows Ghibli’s tradition of showcasing an engaging and interesting female lead. A tiny Arrietty is towered over by insects, flowers, and more, brought to life by some exquisite animation. But with its hook, the differences in scale imbue the film with a child-like awe. It’s an intimate movie, one lacking the sweeping epic nature of much of the Ghibli catalogue - the stakes are small…literally. Her regard for them as pests soon threatens their very existence. A friendship struck soon stirs up trouble, as it gives housekeeper Haru the evidence she needs that these tiny people she alone thought were real truly exist. Young Arrietty lives with her mother Homily and father Pod the latter has begun to teach her the ways of “borrowing.” His daughter’s inquisitive nature leads to her capture by a sickly child named Sho. The titular “Borrowers” are a family of tiny people, living in secret, taking the things lost and set aside by people and using them for themselves. It’s all rather twee, with a quaint feel that gives the film a beguiling warmth that fits the story it tells, as well as a beautifully crafted aesthetic. For those familiar with the books and perhaps even the ‘97 American adaptation, many aspects will feel very familiar and are inherent to the film’s charm. This is unsurprising, as it’s an adaptation of The Borrowers, a novel by British author Mary Norton. Arrietty is a tale that feels perhaps the most accessible of the Ghibli output, the most Westernized to put it bluntly.
