When Marnie Was There, (in Japanese Omoide no Marnie or "Marnie of My Memories") is the 22nd anime film produced by Studio Ghibli, released in 2014. It was directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi and written by him in collaboration Keiko Niwa and Masashi Ando, and based on the classic 1967 children's novel When Marnie Was There by Joan G. Robinson.The film (and novel) tell the story of Anna Sasaki (Sara Takatsuki), an introverted, alienated and severely asthmatic twelve-year-old girl from Sapporo, who only finds solace in her talent for drawing. To aid her health, Anna's guardian sends her to stay with relatives living in a rural seaside part of Japan (Norfolk, England in the book), where Anna soon becomes fascinated by a large Western-style manor looming near the marsh next to the village she stays in. The first time she goes there she finds it abandoned and run-down but on her second visit, the house is suddenly full of life and light. More importantly, it appears to be home to a blonde girl named Marnie (Kasumi Arimura), who looks exactly like the girl Anna had been seeing in her dreams.The girls feel an immediate connection, which grows ever deeper each time they meet. Still, Marnie and the manor she is living in remain a mystery. Why does the place look abandoned when Marnie is not around? What is Marnie's true identity? And what are her ties to Anna?In typical Studio Ghibli style, with gorgeous animation and music, the movie gradually unfolds the meaning of Anna and Marnie's encounters, with Anna meeting several other important people along the way who all help her on her journey to find herself.The film became Yonebayashi and producer Yoshiaki Nishimura's final film for Ghibli before its restructuring caused the duo to leave and form Studio Ponoc. It is also the final film to feature longtime key animator Makiko Futaki, who died two years after the film's release.

Daydream Surprise: After supper, the scene cuts to Anna walking through the marsh to the mansion and seeing Marnie for the first time. Then the scene cuts to Anna in her bed, suggesting that the whole sequence was a dream.

Artistic License – Biology
 When Marnie Was There / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Unless Anna's father was also Caucasian, it's almost impossible for Anna to have blue eyes. Marnie's features are even more unlikely. Her father is a blond, blue-eyed "foreigner" of some kind but her mother appears to be a standard Japanese beauty (black hair and dark eyes.) Needless to say, the odds that their child would be a blond, blue-eyed girl are... remote.

 When Marnie Was There / int_34f9fe21
comment
Bait-and-Switch Lesbians: The beginning of the movie is virtually dripping with romantic tension between the two main characters, which led many viewers to believe that this would lead to a payoff. Marnie is Anna's grandmother. As a girl she had feelings for Kazuhiko, a boy whom she later married. Marnie was effectively viewing Anna as a stand-in for Kazuhiko all along.

Break the Cutie: Happens to Marnie prior to the film. She was a sweet girl growing up whose parents were never around and who was left supervised by abusive staff. When she grew up, she married her childhood sweetheart, but he ended up dying when their daughter was young. Marnie broke down so badly she was sent to an asylum for several years, which ruined her relationship with her daughter as she felt she had been abandoned. They never mended that bond, however after her daughter's death, she took in her young granddaughter Anna before dying herself. She was a Doting Grandparent, but everything caused her to 'come back' as a ghost child and befriend Anna while she visited the countryside.

The Reveal
 When Marnie Was There / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: Three over the course of the film, all regarding Marnie's true identity: Anna was only imagining Marnie the entire time. Marnie was born decades ago, and eventually married, bore children, and died in her old age, which leads up to the final reveal... Marnie is Anna's deceased grandmother.

Meaningful Echo: On the boat, Sayaka wants the diary to be her and Anna's secret, which echoes the scene earlier at the same place where Marnie asked to keep her relationship with Anna a secret. The connection is that Marnie's diary brought Anna and Sayaka together as friends.

Doting Grandparent: Marnie died when her granddaughter was very young but was a caring grandmother for the time they spent together. She had an estranged relationship with her own daughter due to her daughter believing she abandoned her. Marnie's love for Anna is a focus of the film, though Marnie is presented as Anna's age until The Reveal at the end that she's Anna's grandmother.

Ambiguous Time Period: The women at Marnie's parent's fancy party are in fashions ranging from the 1920s to the early 1960s, making it vague as to when it takes place. Unless it's only Marnie or Anna's imagination of the party. Probably takes place around the time when the film was released, you can see cordless telephones and a widescreen television.

Adaptational Nice Guy: In the book, Sandra is pretty rude to Anna, even taking into account Anna's introverted behavior, and the two never become friends. Nobuko, the movie version, is perfectly friendly towards Anna when she joins her at a festival. While she does upset Anna by pointing out her unusual blue eyes, it's more Innocently Insensitive than actual malice. (She does so because she genuinely thinks they're cool and pretty.) When Sandra gives an angry retort to Anna's outburst, she follows up with the suggestion that they put the whole thing behind them and enjoy the evening. By the end of the film, Anna has apologized for her behavior and Nobuko asks her to join in on trash clean-up next summer.

Stepford Smiler: Anna is this around everyone, hiding her feelings unless provoked because she knows that she has a good life and thus she shouldn't complain. The few times that the façade breaks are heartbreaking, like when she tells Marnie that she found out her foster parents were being paid to look after her, but they use it to take care of her, and she hates that it was being kept a secret. Marnie is a Cheerful Child, up to the point where she reveals that her Nan and the maids were abusive, and her parents, while good people, aren't always around to protect her.

Foreshadowing: Anna has blue eyes. This is foreshadowing that she is of mixed ancestry. Who else has blue eyes? Marnie, who turns out to be Anna's grandmother. Marnie dresses in a vintage fashion that resembles styles from the early to mid-20th century. It's unusual for a girl her age, but not particularly unheard of, and it establishes her the girly girl to Anna's tomboy. It also foreshadows that Marnie is Dead All Along and not a modern child.

Everyone Has Standards
 When Marnie Was There / int_b4a6ae4c
comment
Everyone Has Standards: Anna and Sayaka are horrified when they learn that Marnie's governess and maids abuse her. Marnie's maids — while horrible, abusive women who have no business taking care of a child — get some credit because they don't just leave Marnie at the silo on the night, they get too scared to go near it themselves. The same maid that forcibly dragged Marnie by the arm to the silo also explicitly makes sure she has Marnie's arm when they run like hell. It's a small gesture that doesn't get any focus, but it seems to indicate some sort of limit to the amount of abuse they're willing to inflict on Marnie. Though how much of that is genuine concern for her and how much is fear of her employers' reaction should any harm come to Marnie is debatable.

Red Herring: Brief, early flashbacks Anna has of herself as a little girl show her clutching a doll that resembles Marnie, which causes observant viewers to assume that Marnie is entirely an imaginary friend, which Anna herself comes to believe for a moment.

Emily, like her mother, went off to get married in a rush, only to die in a car accident with her husband and leave their baby orphaned. The cycle finally breaks when Anna makes up with her foster parents.

Sink or Swim Mentor: Kazuhiko left Marnie alone in the silo for one night so she would have to face her fears. He comes back for her in the morning.

No Antagonist: This is a Coming of Age Story with the focus on figuring out just who Marnie is. There are some instances of cruelty but there is no real antagonist.

Standard Female Grab Area: Marnie is dragged around this way by Nan and the maids. Justified in that she is a child and they are full-grown adults.

comment
Ambiguously Gay: Anna develops a close and intimate friendship with the titular Marnie. They go on a Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date, cute dancing together, and declaring their love for each other. She also gets upset when Marnie shows interest in a boy. The last-minute reveal that Marnie is Anna's Dead All Along grandmother as a child really muddles up the story's intentions.

Jerkass: The governess and two maids abuse and bully Marnie when her parents are away. In addition, from the description we're given, the governess and maids were bullying Marnie for no apparent reason other than sheer malice.

Conveniently Interrupted Document: Marnie's diary has the pages about her silo adventure ripped out so that it wouldn't tell Anna (and the audience) what's gonna happen next. Sayaka finds the missing pages afterwards.
