K G A loveable family tale involving miniature people. From the start, we have an adorable story being told with ever so funny parts here & there. There is very wonderful acting/casting with wit, humour, sympathy & courage. LISTING: John Goodman portraying Ocious P Potter, the evil man plotting to demolish the Lenders house, sending away the Lenders & would easily terminate the Borrowers. The parents of Pete Lender had it cooked with his mothers firm signific appearance (like her hair) she really seemed that she was not happy with something & we were too. Altogether, the family of the Clocka had been a great point of it: they all looked related with their curly & ginger hair & sweet buttoned up clothing, they were adventurous & slightly sane too. I even give credits to the set designs & props: when the Clocks were being filmed, those larger versions of the items in the old house were so realistic that it looked as if the camera was filmed so closed-up to the tables & boards, it was so convincing that they were real & small. It was crazy to have English characters using British terms like "chips" in an American environment (who would use American terms like "fries") but who cares Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Brian S This movie should be considered a family classic! My children loved it back in the ‘90’s and my grandchildren love it now in the 21st Century. Excellent production filled with humor, drama, and adventure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Avatar P I've seen this before in 2016. The visuals are decent, the story is good, john Goodman dose a bussin good job as Ocious, The prduction designs are good, it even has the same director of the 2004 Garfield Movie, the acting is good but the flaw is it being kinda unfaithful to the books (9.5/10) Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Landon S I didn't finish it cause I had to go to a hair appointment I only had like 20 minutes left and I didn't care to finish it when I got back I just wanted to watch horror movies Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Rami A Is it cheesy? Yes. Is it silly? Yes. Does any of that matter? No. The film is supposed to be lighthearted, silly and cheesy. John Goodman's performance was delight to watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Rosana B Que fofura, um misto de "Querida encolhi as Crianças" com "Os Smufes" e igualmente fofo como ambos, miniaturas simpáticas e cativantes, com boas cenas de ação para agradar aos pequenos humaninhos de cá, bem gostosinho, bora caçar a versão remake de 2011 para degustar também… Fofissimo...
