The animation is an adaptation of Mary Norton's classic children's novel series The Borrowers, about a family of tiny people who live in secret in the homes of humans and 'borrow' things they need for survival.
Arrietty marks the directorial debut of Studio Ghibli animator Hiromasa Yonebayashi, who helmed the feature under the supervision of studio co-founder Hayao Miyazaki.
The UK voice cast features Hanna actress Saoirse Ronan as titular character Arrietty, alongside the likes of Olivia Coleman, Tom Holland and Green Lantern star Mark Strong.
Arrietty will feature an entirely separate voice cast for the US version of the film, featuring Bridgit Mendler, Will Arnett, Carol Burnett and Amy Poehler.
US manga publisher Viz Media recently acquired the rights to publish a comic series based on the animated feature.
Arrietty will be released in the UK on August 26 and in the US on February 27, 2012.
