Disney's long standing deal with Japan's Studio Ghibli will yield an all new release this February in the form of The Secret World of Arrietty. The film follows the adventures of girl named Arietty who happens to be a very little person... like, 4 inches tall. She and her parents live in complete secrecy and "borrow" items from the humans who live above the floor. If this premise seems familiar, it should. The film is actually based on the 1952 children's classic The Borrowers. You may have seen the 1997 film version starring John Goodman and Jim Broadbent? The Secret World of Arrietty was released in Japan in 2010 and finally heads to American theaters on February 17th, 2012.
Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world to be discovered, where the smallest may stand tallest of all. From the legendary Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, Ponyo) comes "The Secret World of Arrietty," an animated adventure based on Mary Norton's acclaimed children's book series The Borrowers. Starring the voice talents of Will Arnet, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnette, and Saoirse Ronan . The Secret World of Arrietty arrives in theaters on February 17th 2012.
