Video of this Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5dwj4e3uPo In The Borrower Arrietty, Studio Ghibli's latest feature, the world of the little people and the world of humans beans meet in a subtle, intoxicatingly beautiful, and almost deceivingly simple (from a story telling standpoint) film. Arrietty doesn't feature far off kingdoms, ancient curses, or magical spirits existing in some sort of Asian style Alice in Wonderland world where a river spirit somehow takes on the form of a human and something about a shoe—man, Spirited Away was a weird movie. But for all simplicity in terms of plot, Arrietty feels like a return to form for Ghibli. That's not to say that their previous efforts have been lacking (Ponyo and Howl's Moving Castle are excellent films in their own right). However, the earlier pictures in the Ghibli cannon hold a certain magical quality, a feel that comes from a pitch perfect combination of: audio, visuals, pacing, and storytelling that is really distinct in the world of film. And when that rhythm is working, when that flow is felt, the effect is … for lack of a better word, magical; and I'm happy to say that Arrietty achieves. It's the kind of thing where it makes you want to cry because it's just so beautiful. And when I say beautiful I do mean beautiful, you could put the movie on mute and it'd still make your eyes explode into and orgasmi—er … the visuals are stunning. Arrietty might just be one of the best looking animated films of all time—2d 3d or even stop-motion. Every shot feels like it could be hung in a gallery. It's almost as if a team of the 19th century masters just thought it would be cool to draw a couple hundred amazingly stunning portraits of nature and put them on film. If any complaints were to be levied against the look of the film it might come in that there's sort of a redundancy in the character design in regard to other Ghibli pictures. It's the Ghibli style I know, but with all the talent on display one can't help but wonder why the character design between all Ghibli movies doesn't vary more. Speaking of variety, Arrietty is the directoral debut of Hiromasa Yonebayashi who (according to IMDb) started on at Ghibli around the time when Princess Mononoke was being made—if Arriertty is any indication, it would seem that the Ghibli legacy is in good hands . And thank God for that—I'm looking at you Goro Miyazaki … Tales from Earthsea … what. Were. You. Thinking!? That movie was just—it felt like someone hijacked the studio and thought—let's make a Princess Mononoke type movie only without all the awesome! WHY GORO WHY!? OK, OK, where were we? Oh yeah, The Borrower Arriety-- Another interesting note is that the music for Arriety is done by Cécile Corbel, a " French-Brettone singer and celtic harpist" - Wikipedia and not the "John Williams of Japan" Joe Hisaishi. Now, I love me some Joe Hisaishi, but Corbel's work on Arriety is … incredibly refreshing— really, a nice departure from the pleasantly dependable music that Hisaishi has been pounding out for Ghibli's last couple pictures. That pretty much sums it up—If and when you can see it do so. The Borrowers Arrietty is up there on the if you don't see it you pretty much suck list. Oh, and parents—show this movie to your kids—it will make them smarter.
