If you've become enchanted by the earlier works of Japanese anime masters Studio Ghibli, then Arriety - also known as The Secret World of Arrietty - might seem a bit on the sensible side.
Or if you've been raised on a diet of high-paced animation from the likes of Pixar and Dreamworks, you might this a bit wistful.
True, it has almost none of the sprawling trippiness that has marked the work of Hayao Miyazaki - Ghibli's own Walt Disney - in past international hits like Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away.
And it sure takes its own good time in its story-telling.
But if this one's strictly for patient kids there's a good reason - it's yet another screen adaptation of Mary Norton's classic kids' novel The Borrowers, about little people who live under the floorboards and come out at night to "borrow" stuff.
