Line 68:
* [[Left Hanging]]: The film does not answer whether Sho survives his operation or not, leaving it to be a [[Riddle for the Ages]], and what Arrietty does after she moves away. The fact that Sho survives his operation is vaguely hinted at in the [[Opening Monologue]], which is in past tense, implying that he lived to tell the tale after the operation. The Disney dub adds an [[Happy Ending]], implying that the Borrowers have found a new home as things are going missing, and that Sho returns the house the next summer, implying that he has survived his operation.
* [[Lying on a Hillside]]: Sho does this while reading a book, and petting Niya. Arrietty walks up to him to say goodbye.
* [[May I Borrow a Cup of Sugar?]]: Considering that "Borrower" is in the title, of course this will happen at some point or another, although the usage of the term "borrow" in the film is more akin to "steal" than the conventional meaning. Homily asks Arrietty to borrow sugar while she's out on her first trip. The Borrowers' lives rely on the ability to take things from humans they don't need, that they will not miss.
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: Before {{spoiler|they go their separate ways in the ending}}, Arrietty gives Sho her clothespin hairclip.
* [[Named by the Adaptation]]: In the original ''[[The Borrowers]]'', Sho was simply called "the Boy" and was not given a name.
