Review of The Secret World of Arrietty

This is my first ever studio Ghibli movie. For the longest time, tons upon tons of people have been raving about this studio's works, yet I haven't really bothered to look into any of them since they never captured my interest in terms of plot and stuff. Also I'm not going to see a movie just because a big name company is doing it. Finally my first experience with Ghibli was Arrietty. Arrietty was an alright movie. It had very beautififul scenery, where some objects were painted so realisticly, it dumbstruck me. The animation and voice acting was someof the best I've seen for an English dub, with the exception of Sho/Shawn which sounded too deep and monotone. :P The music was soothing to the human eardrums as well.

The real problems that I had with the movie, was how underdeveloped everything was, substance wise, also how simple it was. I mean who cares if there are people that are the size of dolls living in a human's house "borrowing" (but stealing, actually. At least they should of used the word "taking" becuase it's a much softer word for stealing.XD) random pieces of crap, in order to live another day; And also to not get caught by the humans in the process. Also the main guy really took the "borrower" thing really well and pretty much wanted to be cool pals with the mini people almost instantly.

Overall, I would only recommend this to people who really want to see a very visually stunning and harmless movie. Not recommended for the easily bored. XD
