My heart almost ‘spoded and my pants were almost peed in when I saw the news that Studio Ghibli was releasing a new film based on the old novel, The Borrowers. And then I read that Hayao Miyazaki wasn’t directing this one, so my heart stopped yammering in my chest and I put the emergency roll of toilet paper away. Then I remembered that I was never really a fan of The Borrowers because as cool as their life was as miniature people ingenious enough to create a lifestyle around ginormous human sized items, the book was really boring.
Miyazaki and I just have great taste in young adult literature, like Diana Wynne Jones. He just needs to make a fantasy animated version of Emily of New Moon (BEST BOOK EVER) and then I’ll be set for life.

Do we know what “Karigurashi no Arrietty” means? I named my Welsh Corgi Arrietty when I was about 6. She died the summer of 2000 from choking on a bag of Doritos and I got the call while I was at work, a summer internship at Los Angeles Magazine. True story. I guess back in the day I thought the book was pretty good. I’m also a fan of Ghibli so this might be pretty cool. Thanks for the heads up!
