I'm not too sure about the song beginning with 'I am pretty',
But oh well :p
It's such a stunning film with so many aesthetically appealing aspects to it that you can't really complain about the lack of excitement in it.
Conversely, that laid-back atmosphere is precisely what makes this movie so mesmerizing- it really sucks you in and calms you in that manner. It's like Mushishi, only that that is better (yet another series that I'm in love with, but we shall leave that for another day.)
Back when I first watched it at thirteen it hadn't been captivating at all.
The slow pace didn't interest me, and the simple plot wasn't that comprehensible in terms of the depth it held.
Now that I'm older, I can finally appreciate just how beautiful it all is- the friendship between Arrietty and Sho, the strength of Arrietty, the sweetness of Sho (I loved him), the visuals, the moving music, the touching scenes, the wonderful concept that could have been explored further.
I really reaallyy liked that the dad treated the mom so nicely and did some of the work around the house, too.

Akin to Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, this is a movie I rewatch again and again despite knowing exactly what it holds.
These movies will always have a special place in my kokoro;
And rewatching them always calms and cheers me.
Even if it's just for a bit,
I feel transported.
It's like a vacation for the mind, you see.
