Plots:
The Clock family consists of three four-inch-tall people who live incognito among humans, borrowing only what they need to survive. Their quiet life changes when their teenage daughter, Arrietty, is discovered.
Fourteen-year-old Arrietty (Bridgit Mendler, Saoirse Ronan, and Mirai Shida) and the rest of the Clock family live in peaceful anonymity as they make their own home from items that they borrow from the house’s human inhabitants. However, life changes for the Clocks when a human boy discovers Arrietty.
The Borrowers, tiny creatures living secretly underneath the floorboards and behind the walls of a house, must be extra careful to avoid dangerous encounters with the feared humans. But things take an unexpected turn when adventurous Arrietty, a bright-eyed girl dreaming of proving herself, accidentally meets an ailing human boy. Now, the unwanted attention is putting her family in danger. After all, they are only a few inches tall. Can Arrietty protect their sensitive secret? Will she outsmart suspicious housekeeper Haru, a woman determined to uncover the truth about the little intruders living in the shadows?
