The Secret World of Arrietty.
An enormous world beneath the floor.
Tiny Arrietty lives with her family by secretly borrowing small household items. When a boy notices her, their friendship offers both comfort and a threat to the hidden life her parents have worked to protect.

Ordinary objects become remarkable landscapes at miniature scale. The quiet friendship encourages attention to other lives and the spaces people usually overlook.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Threats of capture, a family forced to leave home, a child's serious health condition, and a few tense encounters. The pace is gentle but the worries are real.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
