The Secret World Of Arrietty

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

This is the upcoming Studio Ghibli project that Stan got a little preview of recently:

It's an adaptation of the book The Borrowers and is produced but not directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Here's a brief teaser trailer along with a brief music video and an interview with the musician who sings the title song (in French with Japanese subs):

I'll try to see it this week.


I mean, how can you pass up seeing a Ghibli film in theaters?
