About Thumbelina

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 Amazon.com

I haven't actually opened the DVD, as it is a gift. But it appears to be in the original packaging, so I will assume its new, or at the very least in good shape. We shall know, come Christmas time.
Other than that, quick delivery and fairly priced :) October 24, 2008

rating: 5 QuotePerfect movie for your little princessQuote
This is my 4-year-old princess-loving daughter's absolute favorite movie. She wants to watch it over and over again. Unlike most of the Disney movies, nothing in this movie scared her. My 2-year-old daughter also enjoys this movie very much! September 30, 2008

rating: 4 Quotea classicQuote
An early Disney classic that most kids, mainly between 2-5 yo, would definitely enjoy. We liked it mainly because it lacks the strong, suspenseful evil/kind of scary characters present in later Disney movies (e.g. Little mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the beast). Hence, it is more appropriate for younger kids like our 3 year old girl, similar to the fox and the hound. I guess We'll be saving the later Disney princess movies until she is at least four.

I have a three year old granddaughter that fell in love with this sweet movie that I had ordered for her when she visited for a week this summer. She would not watch anything else. It is a wonderful movie with great music. It is well done as an animated movie and I highly recommend it for little girls that love princesses. September 6, 2008
