Synopsis


The  Borrowers  follows  the  adventures  of  the  dauntless  tiny Clock
family, parents Pod (Jim Broadbent),  Homily  (Celia  Imrie)  and  their
kids  Peogreen and Arrietty -- a family of tiny four inch tall people who
live under the floorboards of a big house, surviving by  'borrowing'  from
the 'Human Bean' family upstairs. The Borrowers turn dental floss into
tightropes,  toaster  handles  into  catapults, socks into beds, stamps
into wall posters, and when their world  is  facing  extinction  --  in  the
form of Ocious P. Potter (John Goodman) their resourcefulness knows
no bounds.
