I saw The Secret World of Arrietty on Sunday and I thought I'd give my two cents on it here (and leave out the spoilers for those who haven't seen it).
Arrietty had the same "slice of life" tone and feel as Totoro. Nothing really "big" happened until the end. Most of the fun in this film comes from watching the creative way the tiny race of Borrowers build their homes from found human objects (in that respect, it reminded me of Rescue Rangers. Some of the rooms in the Borrowers' home even resembled Ranger HQ! XD).
The plot is very simple; but it's executed well and it never gets boring. I was in a theatre full of small children and I didn't hear any of them whine about being bored or start fussing once the movie started.
( More review under the cut..... )
