The Secret World of Arrietty Original title: Karigurashi no Arietty 2010 G 1h 34m IMDb RATING 7.6 /10 96K YOUR RATING Rate POPULARITY 4,108 146 Play trailer 2:32 15 Videos 99+ Photos Animation Adventure Drama The Clock family are four-inch-tall people who live anonymously in another family's residence, borrowing simple items to make their home. The majority of the fun in this film comes from watching the tiny borrowers clamber around the shelves using string to rappel off cupboards. They hide themselves from us humans waiting until night to sneak into our homes and 'Borrow' the things we wont miss, like sugar cubes and tissues. ![]() Arrietty is The Borrowers (in fact many cinemas are calling it just that) Tiny people live under the floorboards of a house where a young boy with a heart condition is gathering some much needed rest before his impending risky operation. Along with some descent English dubbing and the humour that always accompanies tiny people with giant sugar cubes, Arrietty is the usual charming goodness from team Ghibli. 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. And that really comes across when seeing this new offering on the big screen. No matter how realistic your computer generated image is or how much the train conductor looks like Tom Hanks, you can't really compete with the beauty of Ghibli's animation.
