Eva and I finished reading The Borrowers just in time for The Secret World of Arrietty. We saw it over February break. It was wonderful! So great to see a quality kids' movie. Will Arnett does the voice of Pod and Amy Poehler of Homily. Carol Burnett does the voice of Hara (Mrs. Drivers in the book) the suspicious house keeper. This character provides lots of laughs!
The animation is beautiful. This story of courage and friendship will delight you and your child. Now, onto The Lorax!

Glad to hear a positive review. Maddy's class went to The Borrower's at the SCT last year and we are looking forward to the movie. I am a bit hesitant to go to the Lorax as I LOVE the book so very much and don't want it tainted in the least. But the girls are begging so I am sure we will make it there too.
thank you! I've not seen this advertised anywhere here in australia. We love studio ghibli an have seen most of them. I just came across one we havent seen the cat returns from 2002 and am trying to get it for my daughter. She would love this one too.
We love Studio Ghibli too! Ponyo and My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service are my boys' favorite movies. They are sweet and beautiful! We can't wait to see this one!
Lisa - I hope you go see Arrietty. It is such a great movie.
This Girl - I'm totally new to Studio Ghibil. This is the first film of theirs I've seen. After Arrietty, though I'm a fan!
Shannon - I think we'll rent Ponyo after enjoying Arrietty so much.
