The four-inch-tall Clock family secretly share a house with the normal-sized Lender family, "borrowing" such items as thread, safety pins, batteries and scraps of food. However, their peaceful co-existence is disturbed when evil lawyer Ocious P. Potter steals the will granting title to the house, which he plans to demolish in order to build apartments. The Lenders are forced to move, and the Clocks face the risk of being exposed to the normal-sized world.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming adventure that sees a tiny family navigate a life-or-death crisis over a stolen deed, told from a child-friendly perspective that finds humor and heart in the genuinely high stakes of being four inches tall in a big world.
