Arrietty Preview Screening to Be Held in NYC on January 21

posted on by Egan Loo
Screening held one month before February 17 opening in North America

The New York International Children's Film Festival announced on Thursday that it will hold a special preview screening of The Secret World of Arrietty on January 21 at 1:00 p.m. The film, which is the English-dubbed version of Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Studio Ghibli's Arrietty anime, will receive a theatrical run in North America starting on February 17.

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."

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 U.K. and ran in theaters there in August.
