The Borrowers: Difference between revisions

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Mr. Potter for the entirety of the movie.

* [[I Take Offense to That Last One]]:

'''Potter''': Ugly? Who they calling ugly? }}

* [[Large Ham]]: John Goodman. Why are we not surprised?

* [[The Atoner]]: Pod, or at least he feels so. {{spoiler|The Borrowers view him as a hero, since he several years ago saved them from being discovered by humans and killed -- but Pod never got over the one little girl he ''couldn't'' save, his niece Eggletina. Her death is the reason why he's now being overprotective towards Arrietty.}}

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]:

'''Pod:''' Because Arrietty's just about to save us. }}

* [[Comedic Underwear Exposure]]: Happens to Pod when Jenny attempts to look at his anatomy!

* [[Screening the Call]]: Arrietty is stated to have inherited a natural gift and thirst for adventure from her father. Pod, however, refuses to let her go out Borrowing, and unlike his book counterpart won't let himself be talked into it. He turns out to have his reasons.

* [[Soft Spoken Sadist]]: While she at first just seems to be a socially-awkward [[The Stoic|Stoic,]] Jenny reveals herself to be one. While Mildeye is simply interested in catching the Borrowers [[For Science!]] (and for personal glory), Jenny wants to kill and cut them up for the hell of it.

'''Mildeye:''' ''(looking at the scalpel)'' I have to say I find it a little disconcerting that you had that quite so readily to hand. }}

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Homily in the early parts of the movie; she's keeping up a happy facade for Arrietty's benefit but only really manages to come off as delusional.
