  • Baker & Taylor
    Classic story of a family of miniature people who live in an old house and borrow things from humans.
  • Universal Studios Home Entert.
    Have you ever misplaced a sock? Some jewelry? Do you think you know where you left a pen or a spool of thread only to find that it isn't there? This perturbing state of affairs has a very simple explanation: The Borrowers. Borrowers discreetly co-exist alongside humans. They reside under the floorboards of our homes and offices, taking great pains to go undetected as they ingeniously procure and live off of borrowed items. But one young boy, Pete has his suspicions, and he manages to discover and make friends with an entire family of Borrowers living in his house. Their friendship, not to mention the Borrowers very existence, is soon threatened when the wicked banker Ocious P. Potter (Goodman) illegally evicts Pete s family and plans to demolish their home.
