The Borrower Arriety marks the directorial debut of Yonebayashi Hiromasa, though Ghibli favorite and mastermind Miyazaki Hayao originally conceived the scenario and took part in many stages of production. According to Studio Ghibli producer, Suzuki Toshio:
    About 40 years ago this project was once considered by both Miyazaki and Takahata and Miyazaki suddenly recalled it and recommended me to read the book. He led me being strong-armed into accepting his idea. Perhaps he has a strong longing for their youth. Anyway, we often have this kind of trouble at Studio Ghibli. So why The Borrowers now? To that question, Miya-san in desperation answered "The situation of "karigurashi" (borrowing life) is very nice. It just fits to our present age. The age of mass consumption is ending now and the idea of "borrowing" proves the advent of it with depression. He immediately wrote down the project paper of the movie.*
    I... OK, wow, that's kind of a bummer, Suzuki-san.
    The Borrower Arriety will be approximately 80 minutes long and is set to be released during the summer of 2010.

  3. I want to fly to Colorado so that I can enjoy this film with Finch. Thief can come too, but he has to go get the popcorn when we run out halfway through the movie.

  4. And you can preach to everyone who will listen about how you're the only one who knows about tiny people living in your wall called "The Littles"? And then we'll run around screaming how you can't stop The Littles cause The Littles don't stop?
