    This Japanese animated film for children won the "Animation of the Year" award at the 34th Japan Academy Awards. The film is based on Mary Norton's The Borrowers (1952). The Secret World Of Arrietty grossed heavily in the Japanese market in 2010.

The film tells the story of tiny people called The Borrowers and they are living in the basement of a family's house. These tiny people lived off the objects of the human world, gradually building their own small houses. In that world, little Arrietty is trained in life skills by her father and absolutely must not let humanity know, otherwise she will be in danger. But when she met a real human boy, Arrietty forgot all the instructions her father had told her. 

The story of little Arrietty's courage is the impetus for the resilience of unfortunate people. Thanks to his meeting with Arrietty, young Sho faces his surgery strongly. Arrietty's story is a combination of the innocence of children and the perspective of adults with a completely different angle, helping the film touch the hearts of viewers. This is a Japanese anime for children that parents should show their children.
