Four clips from the Studio Ghibli film 'The Secret World of Arrietty' have been released!
The film will open in North America on February 17.
First-time director Hiromasa Yonebayashi re-imagines Mary Norton's 1952 novel The Borrowers by moving the story to a Tokyo suburb. The story revolves around Arrietty (voiced by Bridgit Mendler), a member of the "little people" who live under the floorboards of a regular human family's home, and their struggle to remain hidden from the human "beans." Will Arnett and Amy Poehler — a real-life couple — voice Arrietty's father and mother.
The movie originally opened in Japanese theaters in July 2010 with supervision by Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki. The film also received a different English dub in the United Kingdom (featuring Saoirse Ronan), and the film already ran in theaters there in August.

To those who saw it, is this film worth watching? Not looking forward to Disney's 'fresh young talent' taking over like Ponyo did but we just have to grin and bear it.....
