Secret wold of Arietty

Post by Solisil » 09 Jan 2012, 14:44

Just have to post a thread in case anyone missed this Ghibli movie:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1568921/ - or if that doesn't work
Secret world of Arietty (based on the book The Borrowers by Mary Norton)

The movie is awesome in both art and sound aspect! (but as an artist it's one
of those movies you kind of have to paus it and just gawk at the beautifully
rendered scenes.)

Definitely a classic to be, on the same shelf as Totoro, Princess Mononoke,
and Spirited away for example.

Looks nice. Hardly anything beats mononoke though ;-).

I like the more fantasy-world based movies like nausicaa (made before ghibli the studio existed), mononoke and spirited away (even though it's a world in the normal world). I hope that the mundaneness of current-day world doesn't make its appeal lower. I got a bit bored with ponyo.

Hehe! Yeah, that's true, nothing beats Princess Mononoke!
Howl's moving castle is pretty good too , and Kiki's delivery service,
allthough they're not entirely fantasy based.

Somehow I also like Whispers of the heart, just because I just adore
the cat... *smile*

Porko Rosso is a bit dull though, same as Ponyo I'd say.

Tales from Earthsea, and Castle in the sky is a bit more fantasy though
and are pretty good as well.
