Haha! I just put the pieces together! I watched the movie several times as a kid on VHS, but I did not for the life of me realize until now that it was Carol Channing!
Only a few of those were legitimate rip-offs. Thumbelina's hair was much lighter than Ariel's, Gilbert Gottfried did many other voiceovers after Aladdin, including the dentist in Fairly OddParents, and a magic carpet is a whole lot different than a big bee. I think just saying it wasn't up to Disney's standards would be sufficient.
@chobo500 The style of animation was almost identical too. Perhaps the same illustrators. Maybe Disney was just too busy to do this one and allowed Warner Bros to take it.
@lysjocksan Don Bluth is a former Disney Animator. I don't know why he left but I think it was creative issues. Anyway, Bluth's animation is some the best around, aside from Disney! The Swan Princess movie was beautifully done also, but that was a different director/animator.
@JesikkaNicole that's probably because you watched Faerie Tale Theater. Their Thumbelina episode had Leia's actress cast as Thumbelina. She did pretty well, too.
I remember this advert! I think it was on one of my Tom and Jerry videos. It was the part at the beginning that brought back memories "I love, love stories don't you?"
@pixargod THIS MOVIE IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!! CALLING IT A PIECE OF CRAP MEANS THAT YOU ARE ONE BECAUSE THIS MOVIE IS A GEM!!!!!!!!!!!
@sachmaster23 This story is quite different from the original because characters that Thumbelina doesn't encounter until the end of the story (Jaquimo, Prince Cornelius) are encountered by her early on and characters that never come back into the story after Thumbelina leaves them (The Toads, The Beetle, Thumbelina's mother) have gotten extended parts to create more of a plot.
Batman: Mask of the phantasm is a much better film compared to this. I thought it had great visuals and voice acting from kevin conroy and mark hamill. Plus the ending made me feel teary eyed.
hey i remember back when i was a little kid having an anime thumbelina movie
the story was a little different as she was actually born big but was turned small by a fortune teller who her mother asked to improve her behavior and then she meets a sugar fairy whos name escapes me she also had magic shoes if anyone knows the name of the movie im talking about could you please tell me
ANIME you say? Now that shouldn't be too hard to find... XD I think I found exactly what you were inquiring about - if you haven't found it already. Go ahead it's right in the related videos providence on this page. I think it's called "sekai meisaku douwa oyayubi hime" or falling somewhere between those lines.
i just googled it, according to wikipedia , the name is "Thumbelina: A Magical Story"
It is a Japanese anime series produced by Enoki Films. It premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo on March 31, 1992 and ran for twenty-six episodes until its conclusion on September 30, 1992.
The series was edited into an eighty-minute film and released in North America on VHS by Starmaker Entertainment in 1993.
Thumbelina was a good flick I'm not joking it was good. Again this is another film that didn't do well but I liked it. I first saw it at an old friends house I don't remember which one though. Jodi Benson was the best thing for the main character's voice. She next to Emmy Rossum has a great singing voice. Gary Imhoff did a good job as the Prince and for not singing originally he did really good. I hope kids from the late 90's got a chance to see this.
I remember Gary Imhoff from spiderman the animated series as the voice of harry osborn. He worked on the show with jodi benson's former the little mermaid co star christopher daniel barnes. As well as veteran announcer and voice actor neil ross.
I was quite surprised that Jodi Benson did "Thumbelina's" voice cause it sounded much more higher than what she sounded in "The Little Mermaid" another Han's Christian Anderson story but she has such an amazing voice though :3 I've always loved it
Actulley blooooo100 Mr. Potato Head is played by Don Rickles in Toy Story. And yes Gilbert Gottfried played Berkley Beetle the same voice that played Eago from Aladdin.
I liked the other Thumbelina, personally. The one from timeless tales. Thumbelina's relationship wasn't focused on the fairy prince, but on her friend the blue bird!
SOMEONE HELP, PLEASE?! Okay, so I've been trying to find a certain movie. I saw it on related videos while I was watching thumbelina. It's about this boy... and while he's sleeping his bed grows legs and he goes to dreamland, or something along those lines. C'mon I wanna see it!
By the way, I really like Thumbelina. She's pretty ugly... but a fun character, I guess.
I remember seeing this movie when I was little; I remember the farm scence and when Thumbelina fell into the jam.
And I think that Thumbelina/The Fairy Prince look similar to Anastasia and Dmitri. They both have the same coloring and similar facial structures and features.
The storie Thumbelina is actually Danish but in the real version...Umm...It a lot diffrente! it's like in the real The Little Mermaid, Ariel dies...I like the disney version more then the real! xD
wow! I haven't seen this movie in so long. My sister hates it. she's like it is so stupid. I thought it was pretty good.

Guess it's time to play the Disney rip-off drinking game:
Han's Christian Anderson story like Little Mermaid- check
open's through a story book - check
riding through the night sky like Aladdin - check
Gilbert Godfried from Aladdin - check
End's with a stain glass shot like in Beauty and the Beast - check
Jodi Benson playing a female protagonist with Red hair like little mermaid-
CHECK AND MATE!
there's probably more, but I don't want to be THAT drunk.

The songs sound pretty good, but that's because it's Barry Manilow (he should do more movie songs).
I don't think I'll see this any time soon. When it comes to Don Bluth, I prefer Secret of NIMH & his other films of the 1980's & Anastasia.
