Teddy B @RT90521672 Sep 8, 2026 The longer this movie went on, the more confused I became. For every positive this film has, there is one negative that overwhelms it. The animation itself is fine enough (when it's not rotoscoped), but the atrocious cel handling and complete lack of shading makes this film look very cheap and unpleasant. Gilbert Gottfried's beetle character injects a short boost of enthusiasm and the single good joke in the film ("you'll get over me"), but every other character in this world has less dimension than the fairy tale (not to throw shade at Andersen; his works are masterpieces, including Thumbelina). Don Bluth directs this movie, but it lies in that surreal Rock-a-Doodle brain-damage era. The worst thing with this admittedly long, unpleasant, repetitive and vapid film is that it carries the stench of cloying wishy-washiness that forbodes 'A Troll in Central Park' like bombs detonating in the distance, planes gliding closer and closer across the country before iminent destruction... See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 27, 2026 Thumbelina, produced by 20th Century Fox, is one of those rare animated films that feels like opening a time capsule straight into childhood. Rewatching it after so many years is emotional, especially once the music begins and every song comes rushing back. It instantly awakens memories and reminds you why animation once felt so magical and personal. What makes this film stand out is how heartfelt it is. Thumbelina and Cornelius are genuinely engaging leads, and their relationship feels sincere, hopeful, and emotionally grounded. It gives the story real warmth instead of relying only on nostalgia. The supporting characters, from Mr. Mole to the Field Mouse and the Jitterbugs, all bring charm and personality, making the world feel alive and carefully crafted. The animation is beautiful, the music is unforgettable, and Jodi Benson’s performance elevates every moment. Ultimately, Thumbelina remains a timeless, emotional, and underappreciated animated treasure. See more Harrison K @Kingharrison Jan 18, 2026 no just no! Worst movie I have ever seen!

If you have a children, absolutely put this movie on over anything current. Classic early 90s animation and a dream to watch.
