The Borrower Arrietty: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

* [[Distracted by the Luxury]]: Homily by the shiny tea sets in the doll house kitchen.

* [[Dramatic Wind]]: When Arrietty climbs to the top of the [[Big Fancy House]] and wipes sweat off her forehead, the climbing ivy sways in the wind as the camera pans out to an aerial shot of the garden.

* [[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.

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. The Disney dub also adds a line from Sho before the ending credits, implying a much happier ending than the original film. This line is absent in the StudioCanal one.

* [[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.

* [[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.
