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.”
Arrietty
(voice of Bridgit Mendler), a tiny, but tenacious 14-year-old, lives
with her parents (voices of Will Arnett and Amy Poehler) in the recesses
of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her
housekeeper (voice of Carol Burnett). Like all little people, Arrietty
(AIR-ee-ett-ee) remains hidden from view, except during occasional
covert ventures beyond the floorboards to “borrow” scrap supplies like
sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12-year-old Shawn (voice of
David Henrie), a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his
mysterious housemate one evening, a secret friendship blossoms. If
discovered, their relationship could drive Arrietty’s family from the
home and straight into danger. The English language version of “The
Secret World of Arrietty” was executive produced by Kathleen Kennedy and
Frank Marshall, and directed by Gary Rydstrom.
