Based on the beloved classic The Borrowers by Mary Norton

Arrietty isn’t your ordinary fourteen-year-old girl—she is small enough to make her home under the floorboards of a typical house, “borrowing” what she and her family need from the giants in whose shadows they live. A young boy named Shawn befriends Arrietty, but when adults discover the Borrowers, Arrietty and Shawn must work together to save her family. Based on the classic novel by Mary Norton, The Secret World of Arrietty is a delight for all ages.

When the ladies in the house discover the Borrowers, Arrietty and Shawn must work together to save her family. They must dodge hungry birds, a prowling cat, a nosy housekeeper, and some pesky exterminators in order to make it out alive. Will the help from Shawn and a newcomer be enough to get their family to safety? Based on the classic novel by Mary Norton, The Secret World of Arrietty is a delight for all ages.
