THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY |
|
Disney Presents From the legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki Winner of Japan's "Animation Film of the Year 2011" and the Number 1 box office hit in Japan last year |
|
|
|
Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world to be discovered, where the smallest may stand tallest of all. Arrietty, a tiny, but tenacious 14-year-old, lives with her parents in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her housekeeper. Like all little people, Arrietty remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to "borrow" scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12-year-old Shawn, a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his mysterious housemate one evening, a secret friendship blossoms. If discovered, their relationship could drive Arrietty's family from the home and straight into danger. |

Their latest release is called “Move”. |

JOURNEY 2 : THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND IN 3D |
|
In this follow-up to the 2008 worldwide hit Journey to the Center of the Earth, the new 3D family adventure Journey 2: The Mysterious Island begins when young Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson, reprising his role from the first film) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. It’s a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzmán) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever. |
|
|
|
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island also stars Michael Caine as Sean’s grandfather, Alexander Anderson, and Kristin Davis as Sean’s mom, Liz Anderson. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is a New Line Cinema presentation of a Contrafilm production and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Bill Reid and the Haida Canoe
Bill Reid was in awe of the elegant, traditional, Northern-style, sea-going canoe and what it represents visually, symbolically, and culturally. To him the canoe was more than a means of transportation, it was art. Through vivid works of renowned photographers Phil Hersee and Robert Semeniuk, brought together for the first time, we experience the revival of canoe building and paddling along the coast and beyond.
The exhibition has been extended and runs through February 19, 2012.
