Screening of Studio Ghibli's 'Arrietty', the animated version of 'The Borrowers', in Japanese with English subtitles.
The Oxford Cinema and Cafe is showing Arrietty on Sunday 18 October, with the screening starting at 2.15pm. It's Studio Ghibli's take on The Borrowers, the story of a family of tiny people who live under the floorboards of a house and survive by 'borrowing' small things from the humans who live there. The film follows Arrietty, the daughter of the house, as she befriends a human boy who discovers their existence.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is the original Japanese version with English subtitles, rather than a dubbed one. If you're a fan of Ghibli, that's usually the way to see it anyway, but it's worth knowing before you settle in. It's a family-friendly screening, and the 'U' rating means it's suitable for all ages, so it works as a Sunday afternoon outing with the kids as much as a quiet one on your own.
