Thumbelina

Post by PublicEnemy#1 »

Anyone remember this animated movie from Fox? It was so good I thought it was a Disney movie throughout my child years. :D I loved it as a child and I remember like 6 years ago I recorded it off Disney Channel and I watched it this morning and it was just as wonderful as it was 7-6 years ago. I remember Thumbelina's voice is by Judie Benson (?), the voice of Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I suggest checking it out, very good movie, just like Fox's other movie a couple of years ago, Anastasia. :)

I think it was released by Warner, not Fox.
However, it is directed by Don Bluth, who also directed Anastasia.

Thumbelina

Post by Disney Guru »

Yeah it was Warner Brothers. That was one great movie. I really liked the Frogs. And the grass hopper was funny too. It was an adorable family comedy. I bought that movie when it came out on VHS.

I thought Thumbelina was quite sweet. Although it took a lot of creative liberties, it also stuck quite well to the original story.

Omggg! I would watch my Thumbelina VHS every day. I loved it so, so very much. Especially the scene with the singing frogs (and also when Thumbelina's in that crazy outfit, performing along with them).

I now want the DVD... for memory's sake. (:
Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day.

I enjoyed the movie but I haven't seen it since it was on pay-per-view when it was pretty new. I can't say I remember too much about it but it was certainly enjoyable.

Maybe one day I'll get it on DVD.

I actually remember seeing this in cinemas back in 1994. I liked it back then but have only seen it one or two times since then and not once past the age of 11. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but I have this gut feeling it's gonna be really really bad looking at the reviews on Rottentomatoes.com and IMDb. :roll:

Thumbelina Soundtrack

Post by TheSequelOfDisney »

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone could possibly get me the soundtrack (well, mp3s). I love this movie, though I can't believe it got a Razzie, and would really like it if someone could get me the songs. I've only been able to get 8 of the 19 songs so far, and would appreciate it if I could get the rest. If anyone could help, maybe you have the CD or could possibly rip the songs from something, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

I do remember the movie being a bit kiddish ... not quite so mature as the Disney features. But the music is certainly lovely. I believe "Marry the Mole" got a Razzie. I actually think it's quite pleasant and bouncy. And "Let Me be your Wings" is so haunting it makes me orgasmic*. Gene Siskel said that the music is poor. I'm surprised.

Sorry I can't help you with the MP3s Sequel. Hope somebody else can. :)

Can we turn this into a Thumbelina discussion thread?

Oh,i can't stand this movie,agreed with Julian Carter,it's a very childish movie,unlike Disney's and Pixar's films,in fact-i think all Don Bluth's films are childish and i don't like them,exept Anastasia which is kinda nice (baiscly Anastasia's quotes) but is also very childish (espically those parts when Anastasia and Dimitri are fighting like 5 years old children),anyway i hate Don Bluth.
The song are the only thing that save this movie (only Let Me Be Your Wings (or my spoff-Let My Be Your B****) and Soon,the rest are lame,no wonder it got a razzie and don't even get my started on Jacqimo,the most patatich character that animation ever created).

I'll only like the song "Soon" so if anyone can send me that, that'll be great!

Though oddly pm doesn't work for me on this forum and I dunno why.
