I can hardly believe it was last year when I first watched The Secret World of Arrietty, a magical tale of little people.
The Secret World of Arrietty is the story of an adventurous 14-year-old girl named Arrietty (voice by Bridgit Mendler), who lives with her mother and father (voices by Amy Poehler and Will Arnett). However, they are a family of tiny people who
live under the floor of an old house and survive by “borrowing” the things they need and will not be missed by human beings. They are smart and resourceful, knowing that they must not be seen by humans.
One day, Arrietty is seen by a 12 year old boy named Shawn (David Henrie), who lives in the house with his aunt. Arriety is afraid and knows that she needs to hide from him, but Shawn seeks her out, letting her know she shouldn’t be afraid.
The Secret World of Arrietty is available now on Blu-ray/DVD and is full of special features to enjoy. Here are just a few of our favorites:
Music Videos – One of my favorite things about the movie is the soothing music that seems to fit the film perfectly. I enjoyed watching Cécile Corbel’s music video for “Arrietty’s Song” and Bridgit Mendler’s “Summertime”. There’s also a two minute behind-the-scenes piece for the “Summertime” video.
Original Japanese Storyboards – There’s an hour and a half presentation of The Secret World of Arrietty storyboards. I loved being able to see the movie come to life!
