I just saw The Secret World of Arriety this past weekend and I have to say I loved it. The pacing of the story and the beautiful animation was a joy to watch. Not normally a big fan of the anime style of animation, I found this movie was very story driven and had me focusing on the characters and less on the animation style. If you have not seen it, I would highly recommend it when you are searching for your next family movie.
