Recently, the famous production house, Studio Ghibli, in Japan has produced a cartoon that is inspired by The Borrowers, a classic children novel (see more details below)! The animated film is called Karigurashi Arrietty (借東西的小矮人 - 亞莉亞蒂). It will be in theatre on Christmas Day, 2010!! Here's its trailer.
The Borrowers is an awarding-winning children novel written by Mary Norton in 1952. This was elected as one of the 10 most important children novels in the past 70 years! After the success of this novel, a series of sequels about the borrowers followed.
The borrowers are little people who live in home of big people; they need to borrow things from the household in order to stay alive; but they have to do it secretly so that big people don't know about their existence.
A movie with the same name was produced in 1997. Watch the trailer below! I'm sure you'd be interested in watching it!
