IMDb 6.3 RT 40%

Skip it tonight unless you've got restless kids who need a gentle, colorful distraction. This is a forgettable direct-to-video adaptation that hits all the predictable fairy tale beats without adding anything memorable—the plot's a by-the-numbers rescue mission that won't stick with adults, and there are way better animated fantasies out there for family time.

Plot

Born of a flower and growing to only a couple of inches tall, poor Thumbelina is worried she'll never meet someone her own size, until she happens to catch the eye of Prince Cornelius of the Fairies. Just as soon as she finds love, however, it's torn away when she's kidnapped by Ms. Toad. Now Thumbelina has to escape Ms. Toad's grasp and search for Prince Cornelius. Luckily, there's a whole city of animals willing to help.

Director: Don Bluth

Cast: Jodi Benson, Gino Conforti, Barbara Cook, Will Ryan, June Foray
