This week on Mousterpiece Cinema, we're in DIRECT COMPETITION with Adam and Michael Phillips! Not really, but we--me and my co-host, Michael Ryan--did happen to review Disney's American dub of
The Secret World of Arrietty on our
new episode. (Full clarification: I haven't listened to the Filmspotting episode yet, so I promise, if we share our opinions, it's completely coincidental.)
In the episode, we not only discuss
Arrietty, but American dubs of foreign animation, the history of Studio Ghibli, I throw in an
Arrested Development reference at the end--let's say to honor one of the film's performers, Will Arnett--and I discover what an old Disney live-action movie about a boy and his pet raccoon has to do with Hayao Miyazaki. Check it out!
