Arrieti-A Love Between Two Different Worlds

Wondrous

A Studio Ghibli production of Japan, the animated movie, The Secret World of Arrieti, is a Japanese rendition of the story of The Borrowers, small people that live off human beings by borrowing items they would not missed from a cube of sugar to some drawing pins.

A Different World

In this story a very sick boy perchanced to see Arrieti, the daughter of the little people that lived in a house in which he is taking a rest before a major heart operation.

The Fat Cat

As usual expect the rustic play of water coloured scenes of rural Japan with its stand alone houses, crafty crows, a curious cats and a gurgling brook.

Not much of a story line but certainly well-paced to deliver the magic of the love between a lonely boy and a little girl from another world. A love that can never be.

Soothing movie while it last.
