Secret World of Arrietty and Pirates! Band of Misfits

The Secret World of Arrietty is a Studio Ghibli production penned by the great Hayao Miyazaki and based on the novel, The Borrowers, by Mary Norton. Visually beautiful like everything Studio Ghibli creates, The Secret World of Arrietty is a wonderful film for both children and adults. The artistry and attention to detail is amazing, and it's very easy for the viewer to be transported into this beautiful but dangerous (and secret) world of Arrietty.


Much like Studio Ghibli, Aardman has a strong reputation for excellence when it comes to crafting animated films that appeal to adults and children alike. Although The Pirates! Band of Misfits isn't Aardman's strongest effort, it is a solid film with Monty Python-esque humor, quirky characters, great voice acting and impressive-as-always stop motion animation.
