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

Don Bluth à toujours eu du goût pour réaliser des petits chef d'œuvre, à posséder absolument dans votre vidéothèque :-)

I have some other of his movies that are much better than this movie when it comes to a storyline being put together (such as Secret of NIMH, American Tail 1 and 2, Land Before Time series), but I still got quite a few laughs out of it for me to rate it a 4 star movie. It is based on a story by Hans Christian Anderson. The animation was very well done and the music was good too. Sometimes I find it hard for me to find anything 'really funny' for me but this time I would say that this was a good buy from that perspective. Also, the music that was done in this movie, as there was quite a bit of that too, and was arranged by Barry Manilow. I have never been a fan of him, really, but from the music scores that were in it, they were enjoyable. Bottom line then, for a great price you get a fun movie and yes, I would recommend this as another good movie for our DVD library.

Thumbelina
Hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid and the one I remember is the movie with Danny Kaye. So when I saw this DVD version of Thumbelina I wasn't too sure what to expect. Read more

An under-rated Don Bluth production
I didn't see "Thumbelina" until I was in my 20's, but since I love animation, it didn't make much difference. I love this movie and finally got it on DVD a couple days ago. Read more
