The majority of Ghibli's films manage to alternate between suspense, poetry, and pause, so rare in today's animated films that often rush forward with action and breathlessness as the main point. - Eva af Geijerstam

The film embraces the entire audience in an intimate sound tapestry where the whisper of the wind makes every blade of grass sing as if it were a magnificent part of a deep rainforest. It is in every respect an exquisitely crafted work of art that deserves the chance to enchant both the youngest and the oldest. - Olle Agebro

Just like previous Ghibli films, it is very warm and charming, but at the same time it touches on slightly heavier subjects such as life not lasting forever. - Andreas Climent

Miyazaki has dusted off Mary Norton's English children's book classic The Borrowers, a book that brought me great joy as a child. - Caroline Ringskog Ferrada-Noli

A beautiful, rather slow-paced story about a girl from the little people. - Björn Jansson

I personally think this is quite okay. It's a bit too sentimental, a bit too sluggish, but incredibly stylish. If the plot had been better, I would have given it a higher rating.

1. Svenska Dagbladet
Those who have started to grow tired of all the action in animated films for children can advantageously go and see this Japanese version of Mary Norton's beloved book about The Borrowers, the tiny people who sometimes live hidden in our houses. Here, environments and people are allowed to develop at their own pace, and adventures take the time they take. - Jeanette Gentele
