Customer Reviews of The Borrowers
Fun Adaptation of Norton Classic I just had the opportunity to see the film The Borrowers starring John Goodman as the evil Mr. Potter. Overall the movie is fun and entertaining and it has been so long since I read the books that I can't be sure the weak points originate in the movie (although I believe they do).
The movie is based upon a series of books by Mary Norton about a race of small people who live in the cracks and walls of the world and are known for borrowing things from humans (or beings). The story centers around one borrower family who are the last of their kind in an old house. Their existence is threatened when the evil Mr. Potter sees to kicking out the being inhabitants in order to knock the house down. There then follows a series of adventures as borrowers and beings alike try to save the house from destruction.
The weak points in the movie concern anachronisms. For the most part the movie is set decades ago as in the books. But annoying anachronisms pop up such as a cellular phone and an in-door ice maker. Considering the vintage of the vehicles on the street these items really stand out. But despite the anachronisms the movie remains entertaining with some very good performances from Goodman and the rest of the cast.
The fun and enchanting Clock family
I recently saw The Borrowers although it is a few years old. I love it! Part of the reason why I love it so much is because it has Tom Felton in it! Tom Felton plays little Peagreen, the youngest child in the Clock family. I liked all of the characters though. Arriety Clock was really very cool. She is Peagreen's big sister. I like her hair...John Goodman played Ocious P. Potter in this movie. He was really quite funny! Well, if you haven't seen it, you definitely should!
