About the film:

From Academy Award-nominated director Hiromasa Yonebayashi comes a gorgeous and adventure-filled adaptation of Mary Norton’s “The Borrowers”, one of the most beloved children’s books of all time.

In a secret world hidden beneath the floorboards, little people called Borrowers live out of sight of humans. But when brave and tiny Arrietty is out gathering supplies, she is discovered by Shawn, a human boy, and they begin to form a friendship that blossoms into an extraordinary adventure. A sumptuously animated and heartwarming story.
