What is the Secret World of Arrietty about?
The Secret World of Arrietty was written by Hayao Miyazaki, and directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. The movie is based on the children's classic book, The Borrowers.
In this book, young Arrietty lives with her family under the floorboards of a home. She and her family members are about four inches high. They creep out into the home at night to borrow things that they need for shelter and food.
The biggest rule Arrietty is given as she grows up is not to be seen by one of the humans. In spite of this, she is seen one day by a new occupant of the home, a young boy named Shawn.
Shawn sees Arrietty another time in his room. Since Shawn is ill, he is very lonely. He and Arrietty end up being friends and do their best to be careful of their secret. Unfortunately, the existence of the borrowers has not gone unnoticed by another occupant of the house.
What will happen to Arrietty and her family if they are discovered?
