The further adventures of the family of miniature people who, after losing their home under the kitchen floor of an old English house, are forced to move out to the fields.

An amateur witch, along with three precocious orphans, flies into one fantastic adventure after another aboard a bewitched bed to save the country from hostile invaders.

Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock -- the family of tiny Borrowers -- think they have at last found an ideal home. They've moved into a house in a miniature village built as a hobby by a retired railroad man. The village is the perfect size for the Borrowers, and after the hardships they've faced, the Clocks gratefully settle into the luxury of having a "proper" house. The easy life makes them careless. Or, rather, it makes Arrietty careless. She befriends...

Escaping from an attic where they had been held captive over the long, dark winter, a family of tiny people sets up house in an old rectory.

A clan of thumb-size mischief makers stars in this eye-popping fantasy.

The Borrowers tells the story of the inches-tall Clock family, led by patriarch Pod (Eddie Albert, best remembered from TV's Green Acres) and Homily (Tammy Grimes). Judith Anderson plays Aunt Sophie, an invalid, whose eight year old nephew comes to live in her Victorian mansion. While peeking under the floorboards, what should he see, but the 'Borrowers', so named because of their propensity to live of bits and pieces 'borrowed' from the big people....

The Borrowers are a tiny race of people who live hidden away in houses or other safe places and borrow things from humans without being detected.
