Movie Info

The voices of Carol Channing, John Hurt, Jodi Benson and Gilbert Gottfried help bring this wonderful Hans Christian Andersen story to life. Barry Manilow contributed heavily to the film's music. Children still seem to enjoy this story about a young girl who was the size of a human thumb. She was kidnapped by a toad, just when she hoped to continue her life with Cornelius the Fairy Prince. This is a good "family film" with few, if any, parts that might be considered questionable for children.

A huge disappointment from Don Bluth.

The film is for very young children and people in comas.

A little more Thumbelina spunkiness would have gone a long way toward making this a more compelling story for kids - and especially for grown-ups.

Another favorite childhood from Don Bluth. I remember really loving this sweet little princess tale. I'm going to try and re watch it.

Disney has spoiled us. Pixar, Dreamworks, and some others have since put out some great quality work as well. But there is still PLENTY of REALLY bad quality kids animation out there, and it was even worse back in the 90's. This is a prime example. The animation is terrible, the songs annoying, and the cast
