The Borrowers' tall-tale about a feisty family of 4-inch people who go up against an evil banker (John Goodman) is based on the beloved children's books of Mary Norton. Director Peter Hewitt and screenwriters Gavin Scott and John Kamps came up with some new adventures for the little people since the story had already been adapted three times for television. Masterful special-effects turn this bed-time story into rousing big-screen magic for kids.
