Trivia
In comparison to previous versions of "The Borrowers" films, this version is considerably more dramatic. While they retained the focus on Borrowers being "little people", the storylines of the various characters are more rooted in problems faced by families today...regardless of size.

Goofs
After Spiller rescues Pod, the rope that was dangling from the air vent disappears.

Adapted from the 1952 book, this is the latest version of this classic. This was a BBC TV production, and as such is limited in its scale. The borrowers are secretive little tiny people that live under the floorboards. This one stars Christopher Eccleston, Robert Sheehan, Stephen Fry, among others. Aisling Loftus plays the lead Arrietty Clock. She's a sweet girl most notable for her big eyes. All the actors in the movie do a fine job. While the lower production value is understandable, it is still distracting. All in all, it's a nice little family movie.
