Search - The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina on DVD

While this is a good story in general, the characters are written to be VERY disobedient and spend a lot of time arguing and talking back with attitude. Every time we watch this movie with our 3 and 4 year olds, we have to ban it for a few months because it brings out the bad behavior again. I do NOT recommend this for households with small children.

Great Movie

"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."

This movie is a bit Cheesy!

"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!"
