This has been going on since I was a kid. The Borrowers was a cartoon series at one point, and The Butter Battle Book was a Seuss special that aired a lot and was clearly about the nuclear arms race. My teens prefer Top Shot and The Walking Dead anyway.

My daughter just saw Arietty. She didn’t come home ready to Occupy anything. She might read The Borrowers, though.

I thought so too on those books. Regarding the Walking Dead and I’ve watched it closely, there are countless times the US flag in the van was upside down..and when the cold man at the ranch talked about “AIDS’, i said “where the heck did that come from?”

The cartoon series was actually The Littles, based on books by John Peterson which pretty much stole the idea. The Borrowers has been done in the 70s, the 90s (both for TV and in theatres) and just last Christmas for a BBC special but all were live action. Only this new movie is animated.


The Littles, who had tails, and mouse-like ears and teeth, unlike the Borrowers
