Disney claims to have magic; they can enchant child and adult alike. What they really have, though, is a magicians’ bag of expertly crafted tricks. Studio Ghibli has real magic.
Even without Miyazaki at the helm, first time director Hiromasa Yonebayashi carries the Ghibli DNA and makes real magic.
Some of their most powerful magic is realizing characters, both children and adults alike, that are so plausibly authentic that you effortlessly slip into the world they inhabit. The stories are inevitably from the point of view of the children, but the adults are never props; they are fully realized and they are drawn as our child protagonist would see them.
It’s also magic how Ghibli’s artists can create such achingly…

The Secret World of Arrietty is one of the most memorable Studio Ghibli productions I've seen so far, mainly thanks to its largely relatable fantasy as well as its resounding message regarding environmental protection.
The Secret World of Arrietty is an imaginative, heartfelt story of how a family of mini-human survive the cruel intentions of human beings, with the help from one of their human "enemies". The exquisite, lush visuals typical of Studio Ghibli immediately puts you into the right headspace for an intense and emotionally charged journey of friendship and family love. The intricate settings of a mini-human world and its sophisticated working mechanism are simply ingenious and remind us of everything we love about Studio Ghibli.
Overall The Secret World of Arrietty is guaranteed to be an equal parts joyful and melancholic ride that's ultimately rewarding with its artistic achievements as well as its abundant sensitivity. Highly recommended.
