Um the fairy prince lost his masculinity ....its kinda disturbing how feminine he was. I really like this blond petite Thumbelina, this was cute <3

@DontBeSuchaFreakabot

"But if you refuse, I shall die of grief!" yeah, the guy is too sissy... is it the style of Soviet?

[Niffiwan]

@RoseQuartzMoonStone No, I think that's the style of Romanticism, which was popular in the Soviet Union long after it became outdated in most of the West.

[Mrjaguarpaw1]

This is the first time I have ever seen the swallow portrayed as a female. Usually the swallow is a male.

Geeze... That poor girl just never gets a break! All anybody wants to do is marry her!

I've been watching cartoons like this to practice understanding Russian, even the ones without subtitles (because the stories are usually easy to understand). Thanks for posting so many good ones!

Thumbelina is so kind for helping the bird, and she did a really good job. And she just barely escaped marrying the concieted rich mole, who would only boss her around. I'm sure the bird is her best friend in the whole world, and will be there for her if she has children with the dramatic prince.

Wish I could understand russian. :( This is a beautiful piece though.

[Niffiwan]

Did you get the English subtitles to work?

[baryldrummer]

Oops! Never mind. xD I see them now. Wow. I never knew that was there. Thank you. <3

[dearmalika]
