All tied up. Polygram John Goodman plays Ocious Potter, an attorney with nary an honest bone in his body. Goodman, normally a good-natured screen presence, has plenty of fun making threatening faces and scheming to do in The Borrowers. But before he can finish them, he's in for plenty of surprises that include a pretty bad exterminating burn and a cheese bath. Borrower gadgets are charming.
Costumes are entertaining of themselves.
The action is pretty much non-stop. The Borrowers get into lots of trouble and slip and slide there way out. There are some scenes on The Borrowers DVD that appear slightly choppy. It could be from the effect work, but whatever the reason, it's there. The film has a overpowering orange cast to it.
