I love this movie so much

The Worst Film Ever

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Thumbelina is one of the cute fairy tale I have ever seen. I liked all the songs from the movie. Especially, Thumbelina looks super cool in the 'beetle song' with awesome gown. This story is about a girl, size of a thumb who gets lost in miniature world and looks for her true love,Cornellius, a fairy prince. Thumbelina is now one of my favorite movie among other Disney princess movies i have seen. Surely little kid girls would love it, so I suggest them to watch it.

I have never seen this version of Thumbelina before. I remember being in playschool, the other little kids and myself watched another version in which I can't seem to find on the Internet. 22 Years later in 2016, I managed to come across this little movie. This movie came out the year I was born so there was no way I couldn't have watched it! Anyways I will tell you what I have a thought about it!I honestly didn't know Jodi Benson aka Ariel was on this, as usual she always has her incredible singing voice. Seriously, I'm so glad she took part in being involved as Thumbelina. She is an amazing actress and singer. I thought the songs were quite nice but could easily be forgettable since this movie is quite a hidden classic gem. The drawings were absolutely beautiful. It's too bad nowadays, we normally use 3-D for movies. When I have my own kids, I will definitely show this to them! They would absolutely love to see it!

During the closing credits of 'Thumbelina' I actually checked to see when this movie was made. Seriously, the animation in this movie is so tired and washed out that I thought that it was a film from the early 70's being rereleased without any retooling. If that sounds like a supreme insult to the animators just wait because I haven't yet described the movie.'Thumbelina' is another in a long string of duds from former Disney animator Don Bluth. He has made wonderful movies like 'The Secret of NIMH', 'The Land Before Time' and two underrated films 'Anastasia' and 'Titan A.E.'. But, Thumbelina isn't a work of imagination, it is a striking assumption that kids will eat up anything that you throw at them as long as it happens to be animated.To begin with Thumbelina herself is a lifeless bore. She is as big as a thumb and falls in love with a geek named Cornelius. I have no problem when animated heroines look away and dream of what could be, but about the eighth or ninth time that Thumbelina did that, I started thinking that she didn't need Cornelius, as much as she needed an anti-depressant.Nearly every supporting character in the film seems preoccupied with trying to get the girl married off to everyone but Cornelius. She is kidnapped by a Toad who tries to marry her to one of her sons. We meet an alarmingly dismal cast a characters, all of whom are thrown in to sing a song, do a dance and then let another character have a turn (the songs by Barry Manilow range from forgettable to instantly forgettable).Then Cornelius shows up to rescue her. He's a goofy looking doofus with a bad hairstyle and a personality as languid as tree bark. Then there is the animation in which every scene seems flushed and faded as if the film had sat on the shelf for about a decade and a half. As I watched the film I wondered if I was seeing a bad print. This is one of the most worn out animated features that I've ever seen.

I have read a few reviews about this Don Bluth classic and I am truly disappointed by its scrutiny. Bluth's Thumbelina tells the traditional story of the little girl "no bigger than your thumb" and transports audiences into a world of fairies, toads and adventure. While not critically acclaimed, the film features catchy songs, family fun, and the traditional story of following your heart as shared with Hans Christian Andersen readers many years ago. As a little girl I loved this film, it was enjoyable, but also magical - exactly what children love. How could it be better? It's a heartwarming family film that I'll one day share with my own children.
