Winning the Animation of the Year award at the 34th Japan Academy Prize award ceremony just proved the quality of the work everyone involved shared. This animation also became the highest grossing Japanese film at the Japanese box office for the year 2010, and grossed over $145 million worldwide. I didn't mind the animation and the music, but I really loved the story.
Telling the story of a young Borrower (Arrietty) befriending a human boy (Shawn), while trying to avoid being detected by the other humans, the director Yonebayashi in his directorial debut shows us that the studio Ghibli was right to choose him despite the fact that he is the youngest director of a Ghibli film. It is based on The Borrowers by Mary Norton, an English author of children's books, about a family of tiny people who live secretly in the walls and floors of a typical household, borrowing items from humans to survive. I am not a fan of Japanese animation, but this Japanese animated fantasy directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi and scripted by Hayao Miyazaki and Keiko Niwa, deserved my attention for the whole 1 hour and 34 minutes.
