History Trivia / Arrietty

** The same goes for the Latin American Spanish dub, both produced in Mexico. The first one was recorded at Mexico City's Producciones Grande S.A. de C.V., released by Disney and starred Jessica Ángeles as the title character. For the second dub, it was recorded at Cuernavaca's Elefante Films, released by Zima Entertainment and starred Creator/RossyAguirre as Arrietty. The Mexico City dub was originally released in theaters and aired on television, while the Cuernavaca one was released on Blu-ray and DVD by Zima. In both dubs, Character/ArturoCastaneda and Miguel Ángel Ruiz play Sho and Spiller, respectively.

** The film got two English dubs. The first was dubbed at London-based [[Creator/StudioCanal Optimum Releasing]] and was released in the UK and Australia in 2011. The second was dubbed at Lucas Valley, California-based Creator/SkywalkerSound, produced by Creator/KathleenKennedy and was released by Ghibli's then-licensor, Creator/{{Disney}} (in association with Creator/{{Pixar}} and Creator/{{Lucasfilm}}), in North America in 2012 under the title ''The Secret World of Arrietty''. Both dubs are on the Japanese Blu-ray, with Disney's dub eventually being carried over to Creator/HBOMax upon that service's launch in 2020.

* NoExportForYou: Disney's Blu-ray only included their English dub. When GKIDS got the rights, it was speculated that they would be able to negotiate the rights to include the UK dub as well. Not the case.

After Toshio Suzuki (the film's head producer) listened to the CD, she received an e-mail asking her if she could write a song for the movie. She ended up composing the entire score.
