The Borrowers ★★★ 1993

Excellent TV adaptation of the May Norton children's classics “The Borrowers” and “The Borrowers Afield.” This miniature family (about mouse-size) live beneath the floorboards of an English house and borrow what they need to survive from the normal-sized human inhabitants. Problems come when the teeny family are discovered and must make their way to a new home. Sweet and humorous. 199m/C VHS .
