No friendship is too small. Disney has unveiled the official US trailer for Studio Ghibli's animated adventure The Secret World of Arrietty, the latest Studio Ghibli feature, directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, to get re-dubbed and released a year late in America. This version features a voice cast with Bridgit Mendler, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnett, Will Arnett, David Henrie and Moises Arias. We've already seen some trailers for this before, including the UK one recently with its own voice cast, but this still looks good no matter how they present it. It's a tale of two friends, and it looks great. Hitting US theaters in February!
