Review – The Borrowers

It’s rare to find a really solid piece of family entertainment, something that’s neither too sophisticated for the kids nor too simpleminded for grownups. Many will recognize the plot from childhood reading to the series of books upon which this film is based: a whole society of tiny people called Borrowers lives among us, and they’re responsible for all the items that go missing every day. The script is well-paced, and the actors do an admirable job of pulling it off. Even the effects hold up pretty well, with the scale remaining fairly consistent between that miniatures and the oversized sets. Worth seeing
