» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.
The Borrowers are tiny humans (about 4 inches tall) who
live under the floorboards of our houses and borrow stuff from us. With John Goodman.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None, really, unless you count a budding teen romance.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Many, many scenes of the Borrowers in peril and even
mortal danger: A Borrower girl gets trapped in a freezer, then she and her dad almost get
squished by ice from a dispenser; four Borrowers and lots of stuff are sucked up from
floorboards by a vacuum; a Borrower girl and boy fall from a truck, the boy lands in dog
doo and then the truck runs over him. Borrowers almost get hammered to death, stepped on,
electrocuted, drowned in milk, and there's an exterminator and who tries to do away with
them by spraying foam into the walls where they are hiding. While there's no gore, there's
a scene where a man is covered in chemicals and we anticipate that he will be disfigured
(he survives almost intact). A man is tied up.
