Co-written by anime legend Hayao Miyazaki and directed by Miyazaki prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Hiromasa Yonebayashi, the New York International Children\u2019s Film Festival<\/a> will present a special one-time advance screening of Studio Ghibli<\/a>\u2019s new film The Secret World of Arrietty<\/em><\/a> on Jan. 21 at Symphony Space<\/a>, nearly a whole month ahead of its wide release on Feb. 17. The news comes just as the massive 15-film Studio Ghibli Festival<\/a> (which broke box office records by\u00a0grossing over $150,000 to date at the IFC Center<\/a>) wraps up Jan. 12.<\/p>\n

Originally released in Japan in July 2010 and based on Mary Norton\u2019s classic children\u2019s book The Borrowers<\/em>, the film is a beautiful story about friendship, family and love, sumptuously animated with all the loving detail, warmth and humanity expected from Studio Ghibli\u2019s finest works.<\/p>\n

Arrietty (voice of Bridgit Mendler), a tiny but tenacious 14-year-old, lives with her parents (voices of Will Arnett and Amy Poehler) in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her housekeeper (voice of Carol Burnett). Like all little people, Arrietty remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to “borrow” scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts.<\/p>\n
