Synopsis

The Clock family, Pod, Homily and Arietty, are kidnapped from their new home in Little Fordham and held captive in an attic by Mr and Mrs Platters, a married couple who own a rival model village. They plan to build a see-through, escape-proof miniature house in which to display the tiny family and make more money. The Clocks are horrified at their fate, but escape seems impossible...
