The Secret World of Arietty
From the creators of SPIRITED AWAY and PONYO, and Academy Award-nominated director Hiromasa Yonebayashi (MARY AND THE WITCH'S FLOWER, WHEN MARNIE WAS THERE) comes a gorgeous and adventure-filled adaptation of "The Borrowers," one of the most beloved children’s books of all time.
In a secret world hidden beneath the floorboards, little people called Borrowers live out of sight of humans. But when brave and tiny Arrietty is out gathering supplies, she is discovered by Shawn, a human boy, and they begin to form a friendship that blossoms into an extraordinary adventure. This sumptuously animated and heartwarming story features the voices of Bridgit Mendler, David Henrie, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Moises Arias and Carol Burnett.
"Visually lush, refreshingly free of family-friendly clatter, and anchored with soulful depth, The Secret World of Arrietty lives up to Studio Ghibli's reputation." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"Arrietty is a fresh take on Mary Norton's classic The Borrowers, with animated artwork that will have adults enchanted and children gripped." (The Times UK)
"The animation, a gorgeous blend of bewitching watercolored backgrounds and poignantly rendered characters, is, as ever, beyond reproach." (Austin Chronicle)
