DVD/Blu-ray Release: The Secret World of Arrietty

Today, Disney Home Entertainment released the animated film The Secret World of Arrietty on Blu-ray & DVD.  Beautifully animated at Studio Ghibli in Japan, this is a quietly resonant and intricately detailed film that will stick with you long after the credits roll.  We reviewed The Secret World of Arrietty when it opened in theatres on February 17th and all highly recommended the film.  Our overall consensus was:

“With beautifully detailed animation and a heartfelt story, The Secret World of Arrietty is a quietly effective film from Studio Ghibli that comes highly recommended to those of all ages.  ***1/2 (Out of 4)”

The Blu-ray includes the original Japanese storyboards and trailers as well as two different music videos.  Also included is the original Japanese audio track.

The Secret World of Arrietty is 95 minutes and rated G.
