Arrietty is a young member of a race known as the Borrowers. As one might suspect from that name, they make their living stealing items (borrowing, in their parlance) from the giant "human beans." Their primary rule is to avoid ever being seen by these [[Humans Are Cthulhu|terrifying creatures]], regardless of how friendly or supportive they are. One day, a boy moves into the house Arrietty's family borrows from, and on her first borrowing trip, she is spotted by the boy. The rest of the film focuses on Arrietty's both internal and external struggles after being seen, and her interactions with the boy.
Line 59:
* [[Lilliputians]]: The entire race of the borrowers, and perhaps the trope the film depends on the most (other than [[Scenery Porn]]) due to its core premise revolving around it. Without this trope, the entire film will fall apart.
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: Before {{spoiler|they go their separate ways in the ending}}, Arrietty gives Sho her clothespin hairclip.
* [[Mouse World]]: Well, more like a single dwelling, but the Borrowers' houses are still
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Sho's effort to do Arrietty and her family a kind turn by giving them the dollhouse kitchen not only traumatizes Homily and forces the family to prepare to move, but it also leads to Haru discovering their home and capturing Homily. Though Homily, as predicted, ''really'' likes that kitchen and is heartbroken to part from it.
* [[Noble Savage]]: Spiller certainly looks the part.
