Watch it! It's great! January 19, 2004

Wonderful sequel to The Borrowers. It's true that it doesn't stick faithfully to Mary Norton's books, but it's still close enough to make the movie interesting and delightful to watch. The actors are all fabulous especially Rebecca Callard as Arrietty and Daniel Newman as Spiller (wonder what they are doing now and what else they've done?). Highly recommended for both adults and kids; you will not be bored. The only problem is the quality of the tape really really sucks - which is really too bad. I truly hope they will come out with a DVD version soon.

I must say that the Return of the Borrowers was not as charming and entertaining as the original one. Overall it was still worth watching. The main thing that I was upset by is the script didn't stick closely enough to the original books it was suppose to be based on. I know it can be pretty hard trying to cram 2 or 3 books into one movie but I think with a little more imagination it could have been done better.

 The Borrowers Are Back for More Fun and Excitement! February 6, 2001

All seems well when the Clock family reunite with their relatives, the Hendrearys, and nestle down in their new residence beneath the cottage of two near-sighted sisters. But their adventures in outwitting greedy humans seeking to capture and put them on display is far from over. Besides the "human beans" this time they also have to be careful of the two ill-natured Hendreary boys who try repeatedly to show Pod up at borrowing and teach him a lesson about who's in charge.When the two women upstairs must leave, the house is deserted and all the utilities turned off, leaving no anemities for either the Clocks or the Hendrearys. The Hendreary's refuse to leave their home, but Pod, Homily, and Arrietty realize they must move on. Their exit is made all the speedier by the mischevious doings of the Hendreary boys who unplug the upstairs bathtub, their temporary water resevior, and send the Clocks washing down the pipes! Homily has made a delightful transition from the once fragile and "house-proud" homemaker to a very capable and strong pioneer. This is Pod's turn to show what a true Borrower is made of as he shames the Hendreary boys for putting pride before the wellfare of others. Arrietty is still precociously bossy in her attempts to both tame and model herself after the family's adventurous and free-spirited friend, Spiller. George, the kind "human bean" again comes to the aid of his small friends, although he's quite typically grown up and distracted since his time away at school. Fortunately for the Clocks, he is able to focus long enough to abscond with a flatware tray they use as a boat to sail down the river toward Little Fordham. In Little Fordham they find a model village, seemingly ideal for inhabitants such as the Clocks. However, Miss Driver gets wind of their whereabouts, and she and two greedy enterprisers, Mabel and Sidney, who have a model village of their own, capture the Clocks and lock them in an attic. Of course, if Mildeye and his rat poison were unsuccessful, you can rest assured that the Clocks find a creative and charming means of escape! The Clocks return to Little Fordham, but living around so many visitors is frightening, and living in a proper house is not so important or as appealing as the family once thought. Together with Spiller, they venture out in search of a home with more privacy, and a lifestyle of more adventure and appreciation for the things that truly matter.
