Live in Australia and been awaiting for the theatrical release of Studio Ghibli’s latest English dubbed work Arrietty? Your wait will be over in all but a few hours with the movie hitting select cinemas from tomorrow. With screenplay and planning by Hayao Miyazaki and Directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, as well as supported by some great source material (Mary Norton’s novel The Borrowers) it promises to be a great watch for fans of anime and young audiences alike.
This is a story of a family of little people.
Beneath the floorboards of a sprawling mansion set in a magical, overgrown garden in the suburbs of Tokyo, tiny 14-year-old Arrietty lives with her equally tiny parents. The house is occupied by two old ladies, who are absolutely unaware of the existence of their miniature tenants. Arrietty and her family live by borrowing. Everything they have, they borrow or make from the things they have borrowed. Essentials like gas, water and food. Tables, chairs, cooking utensils. And treats – a sugar cube here, a scrap of material there. But only a little each time, so the ladies do not notice. A 12-year-old boy, Sho, moves into the mansion while he waits for urgent medical treatment in the city. Arrietty’s parents have always warned her: “Never let humans see you.” Once seen, little people always have to move on. But the adventurous Arrietty doesn’t listen, and Sho discovers her.
The two begin to confide in each other and, before long, a friendship begins to blossom…
Unfortunately not all cinemas will be showing this series, however the range of cinemas has fortunately increased over the last month so with any luck it shouldn’t be hard to find a cinema nearby showing it. For convenience, I have included a list of cinemas showing the movie below. You will have to confirm if they are showing the English or Japanese dub version with the cinema – however I believe most are showing it in English.
