The Borrowers (1992)
The Borrowers are small, 15cm high humans who live in the English hinterland. They live out their lives in mouse-hole sized nooks in human homes, and survive by 'borrowing' all they need from the house and its inhabitants. This series follows young girl Arriety, and her parents Pod and Homily, as they are displaced from their home and try to find a new home, with the help of a human boy, George.

Pod tells the Hendrearys that he and his family are leaving. Eggletina shows them a way out through the scullery drain, but as they make their way, a roaring wall of water rushes towards them.
Ditchly and Ilrick's pranks have got the better of them and Pod reminds them what being a Borrower means.
Miss Menzies and George are delighted to find they both know about the Borrowers.
Final episode in the adaptation of Mary Norton 's classic books. Imprisoned in an attic the Borrowers must escape. They have five days before the Platters are to put them on public display. Arrietty persuades Pod and Homily to build a balloon.
