Nah, you made your point. Oh, by the way, people aren't supposed to add rhetorical questions or first-person pronouns in trope examples.

For this, he has to live with his caring aunt and her paranoid housekeeper while preparing for a surgical operation that may or may not cost him his life. Need I go on?

* HumansAreCthulhu: Although Sho and his aunt respect the Borrowers, it's made clear that even well-intentioned meddling can cause destruction and panic among the small people. Several scenes show humans through Borrower's eyes as vast creatures who usually don't fit in a single frame, and when their faces are shown it's in extreme closeup. Arrietty riding on Sho's shoulder is rocked back and forth with his footsteps and feels the wind of his movement.

Aside from the shift in setting (Edwardian England to modern-day Western Tokyo), the most noticeable ones are the addition of Spiller (who didn't show up until the second book about the Borrowers) and Nya the cat (who wasn't in the book at all, but seems partially based on the cat brought by the exterminator), and the fact Arrietty in the anime has a lot more freedom, being allowed to roam the garden whereas in the book she was kept confined to her home.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Sho! He catches a glimpse of Arrietty trying to steal a single sheet of tissue paper and tries to talk to her. Pod is inclined to let that slide rather than immediately move the family somewhere else, but the ill and lonely human boy tries leaving Arrietty notes and a sugar cube, which makes her family nervous. It's worse when Sho finds where they live, tears off the ceiling, and replaces their kitchen wall with the kitchen module from the doll house. This terrifies the Borrowers and convinces them that they have to leave; worse, Haru sees the mess he's made and finds the Clocks' home herself.
