* [[Actor Allusion]]: This is [[Horton Hears a Who|not the first time]] real-life couple Will Arnett and Amy Poehler had roles in the same movie! ... One of them playing a "tiny person raising a child!"
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Big Fancy House]]
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Arrietty and her family ultimately move away from the house, the Borrowers never ended up using the doll house like Sho's great-grandfather hoped, and Sho soon faces his operation. However, Arrietty and Sho tenderly part ways, exchanging tokens to each other, and it's implied that Arrietty and her family will live in a more hopeful and safe place. In the Disney dub, Sho's operation was a success. He was basically preparing to die beforehand, but the ending narration reveals that he's still alive a whole year later.}}

Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[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.
* [[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.
* [[Non
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Sho's parents are divorced; he rarely sees his father and his mother is often working.
