The Secret World of Arrietty

2 Paws
Seen recently at Aksarben Cinema

It's beautiful to watch, I'll give you that much. But the bleak undertones of the storyline gave me the creeps. I couldn't help thinking about Speed Racer as I watched poor Shawn, convinced he's going to die, poke around the country estate where his recently divorced mother stashed him with an aunt to await his impending surgery. As if that isn't enough, he's 'looked after' by one of the most dispicable characters - human or animated - to hit the screen in some time. Yikes. It's no wonder he was looking for little people under the floorboards to befriend.

Lighten up, Disney.

Bonus Bones: 1
Look for someone walking a dog in the film's opening sequence - but that's it. The featured cat acts like a dog, if that does anything for you.
