Official Trailer
In theaters February 17, 2012
Plot Summary: 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.
