| Books into Movies |
|
There are two new movies coming out that are based on children's books and we're pretty excited. The Secret World of Arrietty is based on The Borrowers by Mary Norton. A favorite from 1952, it tells the story of a four-inch tall family that borrows items from their larger neighbors. This film is presented by Disney and Studio Ghibli - two powerhouses from America and Japan - and features the voices of Amy Poehler and Carol Burnett. The Lorax of course, is based on the Dr. Seuss book of the same title. The plot has been expanded to include a romance, but the environmental message is still there. The hero is trying to find a real tree for the girl he loves.
