"Karigurashi no Arrietty" is adapted from the fantasy novel "The Borrowers" by Mary Norton, which received the Carnegie Medal in 1952. The story follows a family of "little people" living under the floorboards of a house, surviving by secretly "borrowing" items from the humans who inhabit it. One day, their existence is discovered by a young boy.

Although the original novel was set in England during the 1950s, the Ghibli version takes place in present-day Japan.

Its a good story for sure. I loved the book as a kid.
I think Disney did a version not too long ago.

Still working my way through Eyeshield 21. :mrgreen:

Yeah, it's more of a kids story than any of the other Miyazaki films I've seen.

exactly wot my sister said :sweat: BUT after watching the other ones like LAPUTA, MAJO NO TAKYUBIN, and MONONOKE HIME (to name a few), it lacked in explosiveness :sweat: :crazy:

The most explosive was Porco Rosso because that pig was going to explode from his tight fitting clothes.
