Review of The Secret World of Arrietty

Another masterpiece from Studio Ghibli. A nice refreshing story with great animations, sound effects & character development. I don't like slow pacing stories but this one is quite relaxing. Some may feel as a slow one but not me. Nice character development and well written story. I have read reviews criticizing some points like lack of story why villain don't like the little people, what happened with other MC, etc. Though those things could be added to enhance the story further, still I consider this story to be a job well done. Afterall, everyone considers themselves to be a critic. You hand then anything, they willpoint out so many issues without even considering what the director wants to convey in the movie. There are somethings, director skips intentionally to focus on what he wants viewers to watch.

I know when was it released and its a Studio Ghibli production, still I am amazed by the level of detailing on small things which usually are missed in a movie. The Art team and Director have done a great job here. Sound effects and track is nice too.

For me, this movie is of same standard as Grave of Fireflies or Your Name, a true masterpiece. I enjoyed this movie very much and literally feel connected to the characters of the story like in other masterpieces.

Note: Withholding my beliefs, I have tried my best to avoid any spoilers in this review. Due to this, one may this review less satisfying. I have a request to those who haven't watched this one, do watch it as soon as possible and don't rely on the plotline written on this site. Someone wrote somethings in the plot that are not part of the movie. So I request someone, who have the permission to rectify the same, do rectify it to avoid others getting misguided by the plotline on MAL.
