Arrietty is a beautiful animated movie about a teeny, tiny 14-year-old girl called Arrietty who lives under the floorboards of a mansion. She lives with her family and they survive by “borrowing” things from the people who live in the house. When a 12-year-old human boy comes to stay at the house, Arrietty’s life changes forever. You can catch it in cinemas from January 12.

This movie is based on the much-loved book The Borrowers by Mary Norton and it’s seriously sweet. The best way to find out all about it is to watch the trailer below!
