The Borrowers
1997
Pod, Arrietty and the other tiny Borrowers who live beneath the floorboards of a human house must battle a scheming lawyer who is trying to evict the family living above them and demolish the building. Based on Mary Norton's classic children's books, this live-action British film blends comedy with an imaginative miniaturised world.
