Summary: Great movie for kids!
Review: Adventurous, funny, melodic, nice story-line. Great movie for those lazy afternoons. See for yourself. Excellent performance by Jennifer Lowe Hewitt in "I am alone" and "I was once alone". You will love it!

(If you don't then you are definitely TOO OLD. Don't watch PG-13s.)

The less-detailed animation is the only cons I could find. My daugther and I loved watching little Tumbelina's journey to find her love and home. The story contains humour (the two moles are strikingly similar (and grotesque) to Pumba and Timon in Lion King), the little people village somehow feels like Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. The songs are worth listening to couple times. You will like the option to play them again (and with lyrics!).

Summary: Great Family Fun!
Review: My family is full of Disney fans. We have all of the straight to video sequels. We've enjoyed most of them, but they've begun to lose their freshness. We were thrilled to find that Disney was finally making a straigt to video animated film that wasn't a sequel to anything. (for those who don't know, the current animated version of Thumbelina was made by Fox) It's actually a new story, also. Tom Thumb and Thumbelina were kidnapped as children by the owner of a sideshow. Tom escaped and lived a happy life on a farm, but Thumbelina was forced to be a freak in the show. She grows up to be a young woman and is able to escape, meanwhile, Tom says good bye to the family who took him in. When the two stumble across eachother, they set out on a journey for others their size. On there way, they encounter mean bugs, a boy who wants to collect them, and an evil mole king bent on marrying Thumbelina. Jennifer Love Hewit(Party of Five, Heartbrakers) and Elija Wood (Huck Finn, Lord of the Rings) provide the voices for Tom and Thumbelina. The songs are bareable, but you definately wouldn't want to own the soundtrack. There aren't any special features on the DVD unless you count sing a long songs a special feature. It is also in fullscreen and has a 2.0 soundtrack. For the bad songs and lack of special features, I give it 4 stars. Your family will love it.

Summary: This movie is a bit Cheesy!
Review: Ok do not get me wrong it is cute, but the animation really stinks big time! I do not understand why the companies are making such [bad] animation! It feels like I am back in the 70's with these animations! They should be getting better, not worse as they are! I do not understand why this was not under the Walt Disney Company, it's like there animation as well. Overall it's good for kids to watch! It has a great story about liking yourself and like you for you not cause someone else likes you!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Wow..what a bad movie
Review: This movie fails at everything it attempts to achieve. I watched Tom Thumb and Thumbelina after reading several bad reviews. I am very happy to say that it lived up to each and every terrible review. The songs (specifically: one, two cha cha cha) are very poor. And Disney should learn that 3 songs does not make a movie a musical. Secondly the plot is boring, confusing, uneventful, and full of holes. The characters themselves are lifeless. Also, someone should tell Disney that children do not understand Richard III references. The animation is also really awful. At times it becomes blurry and does not result in the creation of distance which it attempts to create. Basically the animation leaves you dizzy and straining to see the picture. In addition, the characters are badly drawn and the animals are completely pathetic.I pity Elijah Wood, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and the others involved in the creation of this movie nothing could have saved it. The only positive aspect of this movie is that it is so bad you can laugh at it. So for all you college students, adults, and teenagers looking for a good laugh...this is your movie. By the way you can sing along with One, Two, Cha, Cha, Cha after movie. But there's no commentary on the DVD..hmmm... I wonder why?
