Studio Ghibli will release a new animated feature titled, Karigurashi no Arrietty (The Borrower Arrietty), an adaptation of Mary Norton’s Carnegie Medal winning novel The Borrowers. The Borrowers is a fantasy novel about tiny people who “borrow” things from humans while keeping their existence hidden.

Karigurashi no Arrietty is scheduled to be released the summer of 2010 and will have a length of about 80 minutes.
