The Borrowers

One imagines the pitch meeting was brief. The Clock family lives behind the walls of a normal English home, taking what they need from the giants who live there. When a crooked lawyer plots to tear the house down, the Clocks and their human friends take action. It's hard to argue with basic competence.
