'The Borrower Arrietty'
  

recently saw the full trailer for 'The Borrower Arrietty', the latest full-length animated feature film from Studio Ghibli. Based on the novel 'The Borrowers' by Mary Norton, the film centres around a friendship between a human and the 10cm tall borrower known as Arrietty.

released in Japan within the last week - not sure of release date in the states/UK

Also Known As

Chiisana Arrietty in  Japan (working title)
The Borrower Arrietty in Australia (dubbed version)
The Borrowers - the International title (English title)


unlikely to be known as "the borrowers" when it hits these shores due to the other films and TV of the same name.

this movie has now made over $74M in Japan, really looking forward to this one - hopefully it will have a cinema release in the UK (even a limited showing would be OK)

actually as of oct 24th it had made $110mil in Japan with a further $6mil in South Korea - bit of a wait until August next year for US release, more likely chance to see it on DVD before the US cinema release

just watched it, very good, not near their best but still a nice movie

Watched it this weekend - the cinema we saw it in offered a dubbed version and a subtitled version, which I'd not heard of before! Went for the subtitled...

Agree with you dude - it was good, very beautiful, and enjoyable but not the best.
