Establishing Shot

Line 50:
* [[Dueling Dubs]]: There are two English dubs, one produced by Disney, and another produced by the British StudioCanal, possibly because the [[The Borrowers|source material]] was written in Britain. The British dub is more faithful to the original material, avoiding the [[Dub Name Change]]s brought about via the Disney one, and keeping the ending "Arrietty's Song" intact.
* [[Dying Race]]: The Borrowers, at least allegedly. Borrowers live so far away from each other (in comparison to their size) that they have very little contact, so they can't be sure how many other Borrowers still exist in the world. Sho makes Arrietty angry by discussing this topic, before his [[Wham! Line]].
* [[Establishing Shot]]: A pan of the garden up to the house near the beginning of the film. This is used when Sho gets out of the car, and establishes the secluded nature of the place that he will be staying in. Bonus points for the details and lush green colours used during the shot.
* [[Expressive Hair]]: A Ghibli staple. Usually used with Arrietty and Homily.
* [[Expy]]: Nearly every major human character has a counterpart in the original books. Sho/Shawn is The Boy, and Aunt Sadako/Jessica is basically Great Aunt Sophy.
