I watched the movie, The Secret World
of Arrietty. It's a Japanese anime that Disney distributed in North
America after modifying it for the English language. It's existence
was a secret to me until it came up in our list of movies to watch
for our group project.
The movie is based on the book, The Borrowers, by Mary Norton. The “borrowers” are little people (looked like about 3 or 4 inches tall) that secretly live beneath floorboards and in the walls of human homes, and they “borrow” (take) things from humans that they need and humans won't miss.
It was interesting and fun, but wasn't nearly as much of a happy ending wrap up as most Disney movies are; I guess they wanted to keep it pretty realistic, or were following the book which kept it pretty realistic.

That movie is definitely different from all the other Disney movies. I think it is similar to the books that I loved growing up, "The Borrowers."
