New BORROWERS ARRIETTY Teaser Is Vintage Ghibli ...

Though directorial duties on the latest from Studio Ghibli are being handled by Hiromasa Yonebayashi rather than either of studio founders Isao Takahata or Hayao Miyazaki you'd never know it from the trailers. And believe me when I say that this is one of the highest compliments that I could ever pay.

Yonebayashi has been a key animator at the famed studio for years and makes his directorial debut here with an adaptation of Mary Norton's award winning children's fantasy novel The Borrowers. I had only vague memories of reading Norton's books when young before watching the teaser but as the images started to scroll across the screen the memories started coming back. Very nice indeed.
