New on DVD & Blu-ray: 'The Secret World of Arrietty' and more

'The Secret World of Arrietty'
The most recent import from the famed Japanese animation house, Studio Ghibli ("Spirited Away," "Ponyo"), mines some familiar territory: It's based on "The Borrowers," which was a book series by Mary Norton, first published in 1955, about a miniature family living under the floors, "borrowing" stuff from the humans living above. The property also was adapted as a made-for-TV movie in 1972, a British TV series in 1992, a 1997 movie starring John Goodman and Jim Broadbent, and a British TV movie last year. In an animation field where everything is computer generated, this lush, beautiful hand-drawn is a wonderful respite. (DVD, $29.99; Blu-ray/DVD combo, $39.99)
