It's a rainy morning, I brewed fresh, hot pumpkin coffee and I'm snuggled on the couch watching The Secret World of Arrietty for the first time 🍃 🌧 Does anyone have any #Ghibli movie suggestions for me to watch next ?

positive · AI labelView post →All my yapping and I made a wild mistake in the first post. The Secret World of Arrietty is a Studio Ghibli film, but NOT directed by Miyazaki. It was directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. Apologies for not fact checking, and going off memory.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie is Arrietty!!! This is the one I'm most excited for, I love a 'little person in a big world' concept. Which is why some of my favorite games are Chibi-Robo, Pikmin and I'd say Little Nightmares fits in too hehe

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally saw The Boy And The Heron today! Loved it! The VO performances were fantastic, and the art and visuals were as beautiful as any Ghibli movie! Honestly, wouldn't mind a bit of a Ghibli binge night… I still need to see Arrietty one of these days, and I'm always down to be Spirited Away ;D

positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Arrietty last night. A beautiful movie that left me fucking gutted. I loved The Borrowers and The Littles books as a kid. I would love a campaign setting where you play tiny folks in a house in Japan. Someday!
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Castle in the Sky. I've taken issue with certain creative decisions Disney has made with some of their dubs of Ghibli film (too much Hartman improv in Kiki and literally everything in Arrietty), but I have to admit: Having Joe Hisaishi re-score this movie was an actual good decision.
negative · AI labelView post →So, I’ve been officially working on writing again! After watching Arrietty for a movie night with some friends, I decided to try and work on a continuation of the story …to so far good success! I haven’t written properly in years, and this has been wonderful to me <3 #sizesky #sfwgt

neutral · AI labelView post →Is much of an "eh" peoppe call the movie The Secret World of Arrietty, it is BANGER if you like cute, soft mixed size scenarios. Really good if you've thought of mixed size romance and drama between "Borrowers" and Humans. I genuinely enjoyed it when I first saw it, may have influenced me, idk.

neutral · AI labelView post →Yep. This is true. With the exception of Secret World of Arrietty (either for a random reason or that the interesting deal with Disney at the time), I haven’t watch a single Studio Ghibli film in full, let alone in theaters…..until now. Man…I should start watching a lot of these.

positive · AI labelView post →We finished Ghibli movie #18, The Secret World of Arrietty last night, and it was my first time watching it. The music and art were incredible as usual, the characters were mostly decent, and the story was pretty good. I absolutely recommend this one, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

positive · AI labelView post →Watching Studio Ghibli's new Arrietty in an Osaka movie theater, escaping the summer heat. Because I was the first time I went out with Skuld - we'd hung out in karaoke, and we were going to watch fireworks later, but sitting there in the dark it felt like fireworks already. (Reader, I married him.)

neutral · AI labelView post →The secret world of Arrietty (2010) Very charming cosy little film. By no means a massive adventure but its heartfelt and does an amazing job showing off the sheer sense of scale and what living at such a size is like, and how hope can come from where you least expect it

Said she could try so we all watched Arrietty, then her and I played Castle Crashers and Suika Game until about 10:30 while the missus went to bed. Kid was struggling by then so she KO'd. Was nice to revisit a movie and game-filled NYE with the new gen.

positive · AI labelView post →And that's it for "When Marnie Was There". A simple Ghibli movie that does a good job mixing the mythical with the everyday. I enjoyed it...not quite as much as "Arrietty" but still a nice watch. #YearOfGhibli #WhenMarnieWasThere @ochan35.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social @thechamp9070.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →July: When Marnie Was There is another story that sees its protagonist go to the countryside for the summer. Like Yonebayashi's previous film Arrietty, it changes the setting of an English novel to Japan, but it finds a suitable substitute for Norfolk marshes in the Kushiro wetlands of Hokkaido.

positive · AI labelView post →The term comes from a series of old books. They're tinies who live and hide in a person's walls and such, "borrowing" food and small items to survive. Ghibli made a cute film based on them a while back called, "The Secret Life of Arrietty." :>
neutral · AI labelView post →It's probably the only Ghibli movie you couldn't get me to sit through again. Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, The Cat Returns, and Arrietty are my all-time favorites.

neutral · AI labelView post →Had a few interruptions yesterday so watched Arrietty today. Serious competitor for my favourite movie in general I think. Absolutely adore it, the ost is also good. Great UK dub and completely forgot Tom Holland voiced Sho! The art book also has the screenplay with a last bit of dialogue 🥹
positive · AI labelView post →When I see an image, it's really easy to tell it's A.I. generated, even with no "anomalies". It's so many things. The lack of composition, the inconsistencies, the lack of artistic direction and story. As a random case study, with the popularity of "Ghibli style A.I. art", when humans made one of my favourite films Arrietty, each scene has emotional direction and a purpose. An A.I. will never be able to convey the melancholy look of a disabled character, or contrast it with the joy when they…
neutral · AI labelView post →TIL that the Studio Ghibli movie ‘Arrietty’ is based on this novel! But it leans more into the domestic aesthetic than the Victorian fantasy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Coming back to this: Arrietty is superb in IMAX. The scale of the film + the sound design really makes the Borrowers' world that much more alive and vibrant. Definitely have a new appreciation for this one, and I fear seeing it this way has ruined it for me - in a good way - with future watches
positive · AI labelView post →Arrietty (2010) Forgot I watched this over the weekend! Only my 2nd ever Ghibli movie. It wasn't life changing in any way but dang it was REALLY gorgeous. I'm a huge sucker for seeing how small creatures reinvent and repurpose stuff from the big world to fit their purposes. Cute movie.
