My intention was to get some rest while the brood watched the movie, but the film itself would not allow it. Not because of bombs going off, planes crashing or buildings falling, simply because this adventure/drama was too enthralling. The feisty 14-year-old little (!) Arrietty was embarking on her first trips from the from the family's safe haven and was soon to experience the wrath of the anti-Christ, er, huge housemaid. Great editing, marvellously drawn and coloured frames and delightful characters. The story? Not so much.
