NEW VERSIONS OF THE BORROWERS
so at christmas...during the christmas and new year season....i noticed that there was a Borrowers film being shown on BBC 1 or 2.....well actually i heard about it in a email.....and then i got really confused wondering if it was the animated one...
....but it was a British production with Christopher Eccelston as Pod (90 minutes)
I watched it and it was actually really not so bad....what was initially striking was that Pod and family in this version are not like the original at all...the style or vibe has been tinkered with so that the characters come out quite different (that's going to upset some borrowers fans and when we showed it to my mother (a big borrowers fan of the books) she was not so keen and didn;t like how different it was)...but it has a nice funess to it...and the music throughout is really nice.
There is another Borrowers been made too by the much famous (and impeccable record) Studio Ghibli called The Secret World of Arrietty.
