THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY- movie review
ABOUT-
“Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world to be discovered, where the smallest may stand tallest of all. From the legendary Studio Ghibli (“Spirited Away,” “Ponyo”) comes “The Secret World of Arrietty,” an animated adventure based on Mary Norton’s acclaimed children’s book series “The Borrowers.”
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 (AIR-ee-ett-ee) remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to “borrow” scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12-year-old Shawn (voice of David Henrie), a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his mysterious housemate one evening, a secret friendship blossoms. If discovered, their relationship could drive Arrietty’s family from the home and straight into danger. The English language version of “The Secret World of Arrietty” was executive produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, and directed by Gary Rydstrom. The film hits theatres Feb. 17, 2012.”
Chris & Lee’s Thoughts-
Erica gave me the opportunity to take Lee out to go see this movie. We had a great time and it was nice to have some daddy-daughter time. The movie was adorable, and both of us loved it. It was done using older style animation so Lee was sure that I must have already seen it on DVD when I was a kid (LOL). The story starts as Shawn, a 12-year-old boy moves into the house where Arrietty and her family live under the floor boards. We find out later that this is the house where his mother grew up. Arrietty, who is a ‘Borrower’ lives with her Mother and Father and as far as they know, they may be the last of their kind and are extra cautious to not be found. On her very first trip into the house with her father to find some sugar and tissue for her mother, the boy sees her. Her parents are very scared and are afraid that they must move before something bad happens. Arrietty is not afraid, and finds out the boy does not want to hurt her and wants to be her friend. The house keeper however is convinced there must be little people stealing things and tries to find out more to see where they live.
Lee and I really enjoyed the movie. We asked her afterwards what she liked about it. She said “All of it!” When asked if there was anything specific she liked, she said “all of it” again. I guess she really really liked this movie. The movie was full of adventure and suspense, but it is still a very good movie for young children. I enjoyed the movie as well and thought the story was very well done and it had a very good ending.
Thanks Disney and Erica for giving me the chance to go see this movie!

“TREASURE BUDDIES” Blu-ray Combo Pack- Giveaway (3 winners)
Synopsis:
Disney’s talking canine superstars are back in “Treasure Buddies,” their 6th all-new adventure. This latest story is told from the perspective of the Buddies’ newest friend, a mischievous Egyptian monkey named Babi. As Babi tells us, more than 40 years ago a young archeologist named Thomas Howard, travelled to Egypt with his dog Digger to search for the lost necklace of Cleocatra. They managed to discover half of an artifact, the Bronze of Bastet, but their find triggered a booby-trapped cave-in, which they barely escaped. Forty years later, Thomas is living in Fernfield where he manages a museum. Digger’s grandpups, Rosebud, B-Dawg, Budderball, Buddha and Mudbud also live in Fernfield and, in fact, Mudbud belongs to Thomas’ grandson, Pete.
Thomas is about to close his museum due to lack of funding when he gets a visit from a mysterious stranger, Dr. Philip Wellington, who reveals the other half of the Bronze of Bastet and invites Thomas and Pete to accompany him back to Egypt to resume the quest for the legendary Cat’s Eye Jewel. Pete offers to bring Mudbud along but Wellington refuses as he travels with Ubasti, a hairless cat who is allergic to dogs. When Mudbud learns that Ubasti plans to steal the necklace for herself and use its power to dominate both dogs and humans, he rallies the other Buddies to stow away on the private plane in order to overtake the expedition and thwart Ubasti’s plan.
Once they get to Egypt, danger lurks around every secret sphinx, cryptic crypt and puzzling pyramid. With help from lovable new friends including Cammy, a baby camel and the clever Babi, the Buddies avoid booby traps, solve puzzles and explore a mysterious tomb in their most exciting and challenging adventure yet. “
