Line 25:

* [[Animated Adaptation]]: ''The Borrower Arrietty''.

* [[Bamboo Technology]]: Loads. Seems less evident in the Ghibli trailer, although Arrietty's sporting a nifty clamp as a hair clip.

* [[Cultural Translation]]: Fairly minimal. In the 1997 movie, the human boy and the villain are both Americans, but everyone else is British. [[New York City]] is ~~prominantly~~ featured in the animated movie, although the Clocks are just visiting.

** Also played straight in the anime adaptation: The anime version takes place in 2010 in Western Tokyo's neighborhood of Koganei which is also where Studio Ghibli happens to be located.

* [[Dying Race]]: Arrietty is afraid that Borrowers may be this. In both the 1997 and 2011 live-action movies it gets disproved rather hard.

* [[Large Ham]]: John Goodman. Why are we not ~~suprised~~?
