Rose Faerie's Review I honestly can't think of why this movie would have a PG rating, as there isn't really anything objectionable. The only thing I can think of is that the smallest children might start "borrowing" random lego bricks from their friends if they tend to imitate such things. It's also slow enough that little kids might lose interest. Overall: It was a good movie, and it actually followed the book pretty closely. I remember my mom checked this one out from the library since I was reading the books. I will say that this is one of my few exceptions to the "the book was better" rule, as this was more enjoyable to me than the first Borrower novel. Arietty and Shawn are very endearing characters, and I remember even as a kid thinking about their philosophical argument about life. Arietty's parents and the maids are all easily distinguishable, as they all have their own opinions and quirks. The music was lovely, and the art is some of my favorite Ghibli art. It just feels very fresh. I recommend this to children of all ages, though not all of them will be interested. |
