The four-inch-tall Clock family secretly share a house with the normal-sized Lender family, "borrowing" such items as thread, safety pins, batteries and scraps of food. However, their peaceful co-existence is disturbed when evil lawyer Ocious P. Potter steals the will granting title to the house, which he plans to demolish in order to build apartments. The Lenders are forced to move, and the Clocks face the risk of being exposed to the normal-sized world.

I have very fond memories of watching this movie as a kid and even with my grandparents once on TV. Therefore I'll always like it but I didn't enjoy it as much as I was hoping I would. John Goodman was great and it was fun to see Jim Broadbent, Mark Williams and Tom Felton which I could hardy recognize. The story was fun but I never really got into it. I guess it's more fun watching this movie on VTM as a kid.
