The Secret World of Arrietty
Last weekend, I took my girls to see a movie while their dad was out of town. There were not many choices for kid movies, but this one seemed interesting enough. The graphics are similar to Ponyo. 3/5 stars.
In a nutshell: "Arrietty (Bridgit Mendler), a tiny, but tenacious 14-year-old, lives with her parents (Will Arnett and Amy Poehler) in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her housekeeper (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 (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. -- (C) Disney "
My oldest really enjoyed the show, whereas my youngest was pretty bored. I thought it was a cute, fun, and creative show. My girls and I had a fun girls weekend and going to a theatre was just cherry on top!

Wish I could take my kids to a movie...sounds too stressful.....
Misha and I went and saw Arriety. I am a Studio Ghibli freak and had been waiting to see this for a little while. I loved it. It's based on a book written in the 50's called the Borrowers. It's a short quick read.
