Movie Reviews of The Borrowers (Digitally Remastered) (Full Screen Edition)

Movie Review: Earliest Borrowers film, quality is OK but not perfect
Summary: 3 Stars

I remember seeing this when it first aired on Hallmark Hall of Fame. Yes, the special effects weren't the best but it was awhile ago; these days (as with the '97 version) they could do better. Still, it has its charms and there's good acting and backing music (if a bit mellow by today's standards--Rod McKuen, etc.) They could indeed have made a sequel or a
TV series. (Later there would be versions done for TNT & BBC, and a theatrical film, in the 90s.) The picture and sound aren't perfect but it's like watching an old movie on the late late show: you excuse the imperfections and try to concentrate on the plot, etc. (Cheap price at least, and I did order from amazon.)

They could have tried to go to an original master film/tape and maybe this was the best version they could find (?) It's digital because they converted it to digital media but certainly is not remastered. (Kind of like you taking your old Beatles albums and converting to a CD-R; you digitized but didn't go back to orig tapes!)

Summary of The Borrowers (Digitally Remastered) (Full Screen Edition)

Digitally Remastered - The Borrowers tells the story of the inches-tall Clock Family, led by patriarch Pod (Eddie Albert, best remembered from TV's Green Acres) and Homily (Tammy Grimes). Judith Anderson plays Aunt Sophie, an invalid, whose eight year old nephew comes to live in her Victorian mansion. While peeking under the floorboards, what should he see, but the 'Borrowers', so named because of their propensity to live off bits and pieces 'borrowed' from the big people. Now discovered, the 'Borrowers' must scramble to avoid being captured and displayed as curiosities. 'The Borrowers' is based on the book by Mary Norton of 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' fame.
