Based on Mary Norton’s classic children’s tale, The Borrowers, (Harcourt, 1953), the Japanese film The Secret World of Arietty was the third-highest-grossing movie of 2010 in Japan, after Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3.
The U.S. version, which opens here February 17, uses the voices of American actors including Amy Poehler and Will Arnett as Arrietty’s parents and Carol Burnett as the housekeeper.
When the British version opened in the UK, it received kudos for its hand-drawn elegance.
