Amazon.com: Ranking just behind the best of animator Don Bluth's films (Anastasia and The Secret of NIMH), Thumbelina is a bubble-light version of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. The finger-sized heroine goes about the old-fashioned trials of trying to find a good man, but the film is clever enough to make it endearing for the 3-6 set and more than passable for adult viewers. Barry Manilow provides much of the song score, which helps immensely. The ballad "Let Me Be Your Wings" is as good as Disney's best. Carol Channing and Charo have a good ol' time with their songs too. The voice of Thumbelina is none other than Jodi Benson, who gave voice to Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid. --Doug Thomas
Thumbelina I ordered it for my granddaughters and they loved the movie. I received it promptly and in great condition.
One of the best ever!!!! Thumbelina is a wonderful movie based off Hans Christian Anderson's tale, no improvisions. My mother bought me the tape when I was 6 years old, and I was immediately blown away by it! It was a heart-moving tale about a tiny girl in a big world who gets kidnapped by singing toads and journeys to find her way home. Thumbelina also gains courage, and finds friendship and love along the way. Especially when she falls in love with the Fairy Prince Cornelious.
I was also very touched by the mother-daughter love expressed between Thumbelina and her mother. The old woman wanted a child for so long and was so happy she received Thumbelina in a flower and loved her with all her heart. The pain the two of them suffered of missing each other when Thumbelina was kidnapped. It would make me cry a lot. It's like the bond me and my mother shared.
Another thing that I loved about Thumbelina was that it had a mixture of action, drama, and comical moments along with romance, which makes it perfect for kids and adults. The songs were another part I loved! They were so much fun to sing to, I would sing them all the time, even now at age 20 I still do sometimes! lol My favorite songs were "Let me be your wings" and "Soon."
Thumbelina is one of teh best films ever, even now as a young adult, it is still an enjoying part of my life. I highly recommend this because it is not a kids movie only. It is a classic tale with a moral that we all need to follow. No matter what size you are, there is no limit to what you can do, as long as you have faith in yourself. That is what will make you cherish it forever.
A good princess movie My girls love princess movies and we had not heard of this one. It is a lot of fun and a had cool music.
I'm know for my rendition of the song with the chickens. If you like fairy tales you'll love this. It's full of kid friendly songs and moral lessons. I'm personally well known within my family unit for my rendition of the "thumbelina" song. I've pretty much got the chicken, bull, and goat voices down pat. I was my mother's ring tone for a while. . . but anyway. . . this is a sweet movie about love conquering all, and spanish frogs. Enjoy.
Childhood Favorite I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this movie. When I was little I would beg my mother to put on this movie. I would sing and dance to the songs, and even now, when I'm a teen and our VHS has long since worn out, I'll still humm them to myself and remeber all of the fun I ahd because of Don Bluth's version of 'Thumbellina' I can honestly say this is one of my all time favorite movies
