Miyazaki Club returns to discuss 2010’s “The Secret World of Arrietty,” a Studio Ghibli production with a screenplay by Hayao Miyazaki based on a series of children’s books. Why are we so unnerved by the linear storyline and lack of weirdness? Why does Jason have Bay Leaf head canon? And why is surface tension the true star of the show?

"The Secret World of Arrietty"

Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Moisés Chiullán, John Siracusa and Aleen Simms
