The Borrowers are little people who live everywhere and survive by borrowing anything they want from Beans, Human Beans that is! There are two types of Borrowers - the Innies, who live inside houses and the Outies, who don’t live in houses.

Review of The Borrowers (DVD)

Today I watched the Borrowers with my daughter on BBC1 She didn't get to see it in 1997 so we decided to watch it today. Very different to the book but a lot better. The story is about a group of people called the Borrowers they live in the floorboards of a family house. They are called Borrowers because they go on expeditions and borrow things such as batteries, candles, needles etc. Everything is huge to them they even use thimbles as saucepans. ...
...this could be dangerous for the Borrowers. Borrowers can never be seen heard or captured or even found out by humans. Unfortunately one of the borrowers is seen by the boy from the family and he captures her. He was fascinated and just wanted to help her and the family. When it came to moving day the boy put all four borrowers in a box with a walkie talkie this was my favourite bit. I won't say all the story everwise it will spoil your enjoyment. ...

Review of The Borrowers (DVD)

The Borrowers! The film is classed as a "u" film, meaning that it is universal and suitable for all. It is a great family film, good for the rainy days. The film: Pod (Jim Broadbent), Homily (Celia Imrie), Peagreen (Tom Felton) and Arrietty (Flora Newbigin) otherwise known as the "clock family" being small isn't as easy as it sounds (or looks!) They are "The Borrowers" which are a family of four inch tall people who live under the floorboards of ...
...But trouble arises when the nasty local lawyer Ocious C Potter (John Goodman) threatens to have the house demolished...... "what will they do now?!!!" Well the borrowers find themselves thrown headfirst into a big bad world of adventure and fun fun fun! ! ! The theme of the film is Fantasy action drama! There's NO bad language No sex or nudity scenes However there's some very mild fantasy violence. I would recommend this film to all age groups ...
