(The Borrowers)
A film directed by Peter Hewitt
1997 - 89 minutes - Color - Dolby Digital - 1.85

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.
