Goofs

Continuity: Haru locks Shô's bedroom door while Shô is inside. Arietty enters through the window. Shô finds out the door is locked, so he escapes with Arietty out the window and re-enters the house via the adjacent room's window. Shô later returns to his bedroom (plausibly again via the other room) but he hasn't been seen taking any keys nor did he appear to have had the opportunity to take the keys, so the door should still be locked. When Haru and Sadako later go to the bedroom, they open the door without having to unlock it. See more »

Quotes

Shô: You came back. Wait, don't go.
Arietty: Please, leave us alone. I wanted to tell you that.
Shô: I want to talk to you.
Arietty: Human beings are dangerous. If we're seen, we have to leave. My parents said so.
