Summary: Fantastic songs, Great Animation
Review: My little girl is 2 1/2 and wonn't let me turn this video off - the songs are great (very catchy) and the animation is fab - Thumbelina's face pulls some lovely expressions. It's also a lot less sugary than Disney so won't put the adults off after the 100th viewing. Yes, she is a bit of a wimp, but she's a princess-to-be so who cares! If you don't think the Beetle Ball is fun then you have no child in you! Buy it now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the PERFECT film for young girls!
Review: My three-year old just LOVED this movie! I was surprised, initially, by the modern angle the film took, but I was quickly won over. My daughter caught on to all of the songs really fast, and the singing is delightful. I think the animation in Thumbelina is far superior to anything Disney has produced in the past ten years. None of the Disney characters' mouths ever match the words they are supposed to be saying, but that is not the case here. I really recommend this film!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Disney Alternative is worth a go for your little ones
Review: Our 3 year old loves this movie! The voices (and singing) are wonderful although the supporting character animation is a bit garish compared to the 'main' characters of Thumbelina and the Fairy Prince.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Okay c'mon ...I'm an adult and even I watched it.
Review: This is a very cute movie. I watched it and I'm 20 years old!! C'mon, you'll enjoy watching it all alone or with a youngen(: The songs are pretty and Jodi Benson(also the voice of The Little Mermaid) does a great job. The only part I don't like is the part when the mouse sings "Marry the Mole"...you might want to screen this movie first to make sure it won't scare your child (: But I'm sure if they're over the age of 7 they will adjust ....just putting in my opinion. Okay, enjoy(:

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent movie, even for the older set!
Review: This is an incredibly cute movie that I would gladly watch over again. The story flows pretty well, the animation is way above par (even though I spent the entire movie thinking how much Cornelius and Thumbelina resembled Fox's Dimitri and Anastasia), and the voice acting was wonderful. I liked all of the voices chosen, but I of course had a hard time separating Thumbelina and the Little Mermaid (cause they share the same voice actress). Anyway, this is a great movie, and I recommend all see it, no matter what your age!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good stuff!
Review: This is my 4-year old daughters favorite, and I enjoyed it for the quality of the work. This is a wonderfully old-fashioned looking movie with some great songs. Nassos Vakalis fluent animation and Jodi Bensons voice talents create an enchanting Thumbelina. I like the 'jitterbugs', which seem like old friends visiting from a 1930's cartoon. The story is loosely based on Hand Christian Andersens story, but not radically changed as e.g. Disneys Little Mermaid. I will definitely check out the other films by Don Bluth.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish I'd squish Thumbelina!
Review: THIS STINKS! Bad characters, annoying music that makes me wanna puke, and of course, that stupid squeaky- voice, wussy Thumbelina! Alright, this is good for girls, but for boys: BLEEEEEECH!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Don Bluths most underrated film.
Review: Thumbelina has to be Don Bluths most underrated film.Its truly one of his best efforts and it has some of the best musical segments he has ever animated.I am always captivated by the "Let me be your wings" segment which feels more like a Rogers and Hammerstien film than it does a cartoon.Try not to compare it to a Disney film and you will really enjoy it.Yes it has a few moments that I wish weren't in the final cut but on the whole it has a place in my heart where Secret of Nimh sets.What a great animated musical.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie
Review: Thumbelina has to be one of the best animated movies that I have seen in a long time. I have been in love with it ever since I got it a few years ago, and it is something you will never want to turn off. The plot is cute and romantic, to say the least; all of the characters are great and the music is to die for ("Let Me Be Your Wings" is a song you'll find yourself singing no matter where you go).
A definite favorite; see it today! =)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite Fairytale Romance
Review: Thumbelina is a great film. Funny in some scenes such as the musical with the singing frogs and the Beetle ball. Very touching at the beginning and very end. Best of all no political correctness which gets rather annoying after all. Thumbelina's innocence and timidness irks some people. But I find it rather charming. because she grows up towards the end.
