This is a story of a family of “little” people. Beneath the
floorboards of a sprawling mansion set in a magical,
overgrown garden in the suburbs of Tokyo, tiny 14-yearold
Arrietty lives with her equally tiny parents. The house
is occupied by two old ladies. Arrietty and her family
live by “borrowing”, but only a little each time, so the
ladies do not notice. A 12-year-old boy, Sho, moves in
the mansion. Arrietty’s parents have always warned her: “Never let humans see you.” Once seen, little people
always have to move on. But the adventurous Arrietty
doesn’t listen, and Sho discovers her. The two begin
to confide in each other and, before long, a friendship
begins to blossom...
This animated family comedy, an Aardman production for

operation hidden beneath the North Pole. At the heart

completed before Christmas morning dawns.

obsessed with Chenault, the wildly attractive fiancée of
Sanderson who is one of a growing number of American
entrepreneurs determined to convert Puerto Rico into a
capitalist paradise. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson
to write favourably about his latest unsavoury scheme,
the journalist has a choice - to use his words for the
corrupt businessmen’s financial benefit, or to take them
down.
