Thumbelina

Summary: A perfect film for any little boy or girl to watch!
Review: Goodtimes' films are known to be cheap and downright awful, don't let those adult comments fool you, any child will enjoy a Goodtimes film, after all, these films were made for children, so what the heck are adults doing insulting these films? I bet the scores would be higher if these movies were rated by kids.

Anyways, back to Thumbelina. This is the classic tale of the little girl, smaller than a thumb. The story is simple, Thumbelina and her father are happily living at the top of the mountains. However the problem is that a lot of snow is expected this winter and when spring comes, the snow will melt, drowning the little people in the meadows. For this, Father sends his little Thumbelina in a journey to warn everyone, a task that proves a big challenge for someone so tiny. Thumbelina travels through beautiful meadows meeting the most interesting characters, some good and helpful like Big Bear or some with evil intentions like Mona and Mr. Mole.

As the title of the review says, this is a perfect movie for children to watch: sweet loving characters, lovely tunes that caress each scene, no violence and a lot of heart and charm. Animation, of course, doesn't stand up to Disney animation, but children will pay no attention to that, so it won't bother them.

Music and songs, like in many other Goodtimes animated films, are top notch. Thumbelina opens up with an adorable song any little child is sure to enjoy,

"Oh Thumbelina, smaller than my thumb,
You'll save the little people and the princess you'll become,
You are twice as brave as anyone, you are good and true,
Little, tiny Thumbelina, I love you..."

Also, throughout the movie, you'll hear lovely classical melodies, composed by famous musicians, including Beethoven and others. Children are sure to sing along to the classic camp fire song, "Edelweiss."

It's a shame they don't make films like this anymore, "Thumbelina" is a treasure to behold, a perfect example of what a children's film should be like. These Goodtimes films are so cheap, always less than $10, they are a good collection of classics that children can save for and buy on their own.

Summary: A beautiful version of Thumbelina
Review: I got this movie when I used to live in Spain together with other classics and I always loved it. The graphics are great and the sound of excellent quality. Just as Disney, this version features lovely songs as "Thumbelina" and "Edelweiss". You will fall in love with the charming characters like Thumbelina, Father, Great Bear and the Blue Bird. Thumbelina will meet a bunch of lovable characters such as the Butterfly, the River Fish and the Funny Fox. And some other evil ones such as Mona and Mrs. Frog. As said, I will definetly recommend this DVD treasure made by GoodTimes Entertainment....
