Arrietty

Nice - not a great Ghibli, but a good one. Doesn't aim for the epic, overflowing sense that suffuses the studio's more imaginatively widescreen offerings, instead sticking to the small (ha ha) details and wonders of the life of the central borrowers and the interactions between the titular character and the small, ill boy who discovers the hidden life of Arrietty and her family.
