osprey_archerYou guys you guys YOU GUYS, Miyazaki is making a Borrowers film! I've loooooooooved the Borrowers since I was a wee little child, and I love Miyazaki films, and this has the potential to be the BEST THING EVER!
(And it may finally wash the putrid taste of the horrible, horrible live-action Borrowers film some ridiculous person made a few years back. OH THE PAIN.)
I learned of this development while watching the previews for the new Muppet movie. It had the best previews. One for Brave, which seems like a less inventive story than I expect from Pixar, but we'll see when it comes out; and another for Mirror Mirror, which stars Julia Roberts as Evil Queen in Snow White.
Presumably there's also a Snow White bopping around somewhere. But the preview was all Julia Roberts all the time, and I am just fine with that.
And the Muppet movie itself? It was cute. Didn't blow me away like Muppet Treasure Island, but it wasn't a waste of money.
What did blow me away? NEW WATERFORD GIRL. AWESOME MOVIE. I must write a post extolling it.
