Plot
Though Pixar are often considered the reigning champs of cinematic
batting averages (they have one of the best records for quality),
Studio Ghibli is their equal, which may explain why Pixar’s John
Lasseter has shepherded Ghibli’s work into American theaters. This has
everything to do with filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, whose work on films like
My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away puts him in the pantheon with Walt
Disney. The Secret World of Arrietty
wasn’t directed by him (though he has a credit as its planner), but it
falls in line with his whimsical children’s films. Our review of the
Blu-ray of Arrietty follows after the jump.
The-Secret-World-of-Arrietty-imageArrietty (Bridgit Mendler in the English Language version), and her parents (Amy Poehler and Will Arnett)
are “borrowers,” miniature people who live under the houses of normal
humans and steal things like sugar cubes and crackers to get by. Their
house gets a new occupant in Shawn (David Henrie), a sickly kid who’s
about to have a major operation. He sees Arrietty and wants to protect
her, but the housekeeper Hara (Carol Burnett) thinks Arrietty and her
kind are pests. Arrietty’s parents don’t want her to interact with
humans as well, as they fear that they may be the last of their kind.
But Arrietty and Shawn form a friendship that is complicated by Hara’s
meddling.
Though most of American animation is now done through computers,
Miyazaki and company – the director here is Hiromasa Yonebayashi,
working from Miyazaki’s notes – have stayed with hand drawn cel
animation, and their work is gorgeous. There’s nothing crude or
referential about their work, it’s just about nature (a reoccurring
theme in Ghibli films), and there is a great purity and spirit to their
vision. It’s a story of the mysteries of communal space, and how there
are hidden worlds that exist right in front of us.
The-Secret-World-of-Arrietty-imageIt’s based on the classic children’s
book The Borrowers (by Mary Norton), and though there is adventure and
danger, it’s a very gentle and charming film that is basically about
acceptance versus intolerance. On both sides there are people who don’t
want there to be interactions between the two species, and though the film functions as a metaphor for accepting others or otherness, this never overwhelms the film about an unlikely friendship.
But if the viewer or their child has ADD, this is probably not the film
for them. Though it rewards the attention paid, those used to American
animated films – which are filled with lots of action, noises and
distractions – this is nothing like that. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s
a slow moving film.
In fact, the biggest problem with the film is the legacy of Studio Ghibli, who’ve got a catalog of great movies for children.
From Nausicaa to Kiki’s Delivery Service to Totoro to Spirited Away,
they’ve established a fine lineage of great children’s entertainment.
And though this is a solid entry in their filmography, it’s hard to say
it stacks with their best. It’s a good movie, one of the better films of
2012, but it’s hard to place it near their best work. But that’s a
great problem to have.
The-Secret-World-of-Arrietty-imageThe worst that can be said about the
film is that it’s a little slow and not everyone’s best work. That’s not
so much a problem as nitpicking. Perhaps more importantly it shows the
value of a well told tale and 2-D cel animation. The Secret World of Arrietty
is an inviting and fascinating fantasy world that may grow stronger on
repeated viewings. Which makes it a great little children’s film.
Disney presents the film on Blu-ray with a DVD copy. The film is
presented in English and Japanese 5.1 DTS-HD master audio in widescreen
(1.78:1). The transfer is flawless. The English subtitles don’t seem to
be “Dubtitles,” but that could just be abbreviations. Extras include the
film presented in storyboard form, twenty seven trailers and TV spots
(14 min.), two music videos and a making of (2 min.) for one of the (American) songs in the film. The storyboard presentation is cool, but there’s not much meat here..
