 Fantastic for the whole family February 6, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Having watched this both when it originally aired and more recently with my niece and nephews I think The Borrowers is still one of the best Children's adaptations ever made. It has adventure, excitment and romance and most people I know still rate this programme very highly. All I can say is if you haven't seen this, buy it. May be worth waiting until it comes out on DVD though.
From a HUMAN BEAN'S perspective... January 22, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Borrowers are a group of miniature people who live beneath the floor - when they are 'seen' they have to move along, and this is the story of a family who have to uproot themselves from their comfortable surroundings and experience the BIG wide world... Such is the story of the Clock family - the most enjoyable features are the wonderful perspective that the borrowers have of our own human world. It's a story that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, and is amongst my favourite films of ALL TIME.... you won't be disappointed!
As good as kids' TV gets November 28, 2001

Having read the existing lukewarm review, I felt I had to write in to express my huge affection for this video. All my kids adored both Borrowers series - they succumbed from as early as four years old, and still dig it out now they are in their teens. It's rare to have such first class acting in kids TV - as well as the obvious bonus of having Ian Hom, Penelope Wilton and Sian Philips on board, the younger members of the cast are excellent (far less wooden than the over-hyped Harry Potter juveniles), the effects are magical, and the whole thing is bathed in this golden nostalgic glow. Fabulous stuff.
 It was okay, but it should have been left as it was. December 19, 2000

The first Borrowers was very well done, it is now quite old, but it was good. The second series doesn't compliment the first, but it wasn't bad as far as children's videos go. It should have been left alone, but as it is, now it's happened, it isn't too much of a mess. These films let Ian Holme recover from stage fright and in that way I respect them. If it wasn't for these films, other films like Fifth Element and others wouldn't have been made. Others may think that it would be a good idea if none of the films were made, but they aren't bad, so they don't need to be scrapped.
