Disney streams trailer for Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty film
Disney began streaming a trailer for the North American-dubbed version of Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty film. The film, which will be titled “The Secret World of Arrietty”, will receive a theatrical run in North America starting on February 17.
The Secret World of Arrietty
The movie originally opened in Japanese theaters in July 2010 with supervision by Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki(宮崎駿). The film also received a different English dub in the U.K. and ran in theaters there in August.
The Secret World of Arrietty
The film re-imagines Mary Norton’s 1952 novel The Borrowers by moving the story to a Tokyo suburb. The story revolves around Arrietty, 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.”
Bridgit Mendler
Producer Frank Marshall revealed in January that Bridgit Mendler is voicing the title
character. Joining her in the cast are Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, David Henrie, and Carol Burnett.
