Trailer for UK Dub of The Borrowers Arrietty	Mon, 4 Jul 2011
While news of a UK dub of The Borrowers Arrietty has been known for a while, the trailer has only recently been released. The cast looks good with Saoirse Ronan, Mark Strong, Olivia Colman stepping up for voice acting duties. Based on Mary Norton’s classic 1952 book, The Borrowers, the film follows a boy named Sho, who moves into his great aunt’s house in the Tokyo suburbs where a 14-year-old Borrower named Arrietty and her family live under the floorboards. Arrietty tries her best to prove her worth by helping her father “borrow” much-needed items from their human landlords but Sho discovers their existence. A relationship develops between Sho and Arrietty even though it puts the lives of the Borrowers’ in danger and they must work together to protect the existence of the Borrowers. Originally released in Japan in July 2010, Studio Ghibli’s Karigurashi no Arrietty (The Borrowers Arrietty) is being handled by Optimum Releasing and will go into official UK exhibition on the 29th of July.
