Set in an enchanting locale where the potential for magic is everywhere, this impeccable animated film puts its complete trust in the spirit of make-believe. Beautiful, gentle and pure — but not without elements of genuine menace — it will make believers out of adults and children alike.

Based on Mary Norton’s celebrated 1952 novel “The Borrowers,” “The Secret World of Arrietty” has been on the mind of Japan’s Hayao Miyazaki, the great animator of the modern age, for more than 40 years. He did not direct this version himself, but having planned and written the screenplay and hand-picking director Hiromasa Yonebayashi, Miyazaki and his elevating, protective spirit hover over this production like a most benevolent deity. ”Arrietty,” the feature debut of Yonebayashi, has many of the trademarks of Miyazaki’s magical Studio Ghibli productions, including a reverence for the natural world and the ability to reproduce it in ravishing, hand-drawn animation detail. All this meticulous audience-tailoring aside, what makes “The Secret World of Arrietty” transporting in this country is the same thing that made it succeed in Japan: the film’s ability to create a special and marvelous world for audiences to enter.
