Anime Movies - The Secret World of Arrietty

A story about growing up and life from two different perspectives. It was really interesting to see the world from Arrietty's perspective where everything is so big and dangerous. Small creatures which we take for granted pose a threat in their everyday lives, not to mention humans. The unusual friendship between Arrietty and Sho was really sweet. The little people stories were part of Sho's family for generations and the doll house that was made especially for them was really something special. This movie was full of wishes they wanted to become reality, secret friendship, emotions and dealing with reality of things. All in all, a really nice movie with an enjoyable and little bit sad story, but worth watching.

A 14-year-old Borrower named Arrietty strives to prove herself by helping her father gather materials that her family needs from Sho's new home. However, Arrietty and Sho meet, breaking the rule that humans must not know about the Borrowers' existence.
