So, I saw The Secret World of Arrietty this evening... Good movie, definitely a family film (not a kids' movie, but one they'll enjoy too), and a decent dub (the actress they cast for Arrietty was spot-on). Not wanting to wait for Disney's home-video release (and not wanting to help fund Disney's part in backing SOPA), I'll be ordering a copy from CDJapan later this week.
I believe blackaeronaut called this one "bittersweet" - he's right, but given what happens in the story, that's the only reasonable way for it to end. They set up a particular ending, and they have the courage to see it through to that ending - no rabbits out of hats here.
The flying scene is not quite an hour into the movie. It is Studio Ghibli, after all.
Lovely music, composed by http://www.cecile-corbel.com/en/home.html - I'll be getting the soundtrack from CDJapan as well, and looking in the local record stores for her other albums.
I'm happy...
