The Secret World of Arrietty
iNews 880 is excited to team up with Walt Disney Pictures to present the advanced screening of The Secret World of Arrietty on February 15 at 7:00pm at South Edmonton Cineplex.
Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world, they are 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. Like all little people Arrietty remains hidden from view, except when to "borrow" scrap supplies 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 her a secret friendship blossoms.
Win your way to the advanced screening with iNews 880.
