Studio Ghibli's Borrowers adaption Arrietty gets a UK trailer

*A full UK trailer for _Arrietty_, Studio Ghibli's adaptation of The
Borrowers book series, has landed online, complete with UK-specific
voice talent.*

There have previously been some Japanese language teasers, but this
new version gives a much fuller idea of what to expect from the movie,
and it looks mightily impressive.

Mary Norton's novels have been adapted before: there was an American
TV movie in the '70s, a 1997 film, and a much-loved, Ian-Holm starring
BBC series in the early '90s.

This version looks to have captured the innate charm of the little
folk who reside in the nooks and crannies of human homes, 'borrowing'
everyday items to survive, without sacrificing the visual splendour
we've come to expect from Studio Ghibli.

The animation looks as rich and detailed as ever, and the action
scenes as thrillingly kinetic. Hiromasa Yonebayashi makes his
directorial debut, with Ghibli godfather Hayao Miyazaki overseeing
production.

Unusually, this version seems to have a UK-specific cast, with Saoirse
Ronan and Mark Strong lending their vocal chords to the dub. The US
version features Will Arnett and Amy Poehler.

Enough dithering, here's that trailer:

_Arrietty_ opens in the UK on 29 July, while US audiences will have to
wait until next year to see it.
