Plot

Family adventure based on Mary Norton's classic children's books about a race of tiny people who live under the floorboards, resourcefully surviving by borrowing bits and pieces from the large residents who dwell above.

Sinekatalog’s take

A family of tiny people living under floorboards survive by borrowing from humans in this adaptation of the classic children's story. It is cozy and inventive, with small-scale wonder at its heart. Delightful for family evenings.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
