The Little Match Girl - HQ Disney

Well, higher quality than the ones I found when I uploaded. This is from the Bonus disc from the Little Mermaid DVD.

I guess I have to show this video to all my vain friends who are all crying around because they don't have a Louis Vuitton bag, so many people suffering in this world

This is, after all, a condensation of the story prepared as a film short.

I think the ending was well done: A large smile and the embrace of her grandmother as she is carried though into a warm light that contrasts with grey and gloom of the scene. The star going across the sky signifying that her soul gone has gone to heaven--- as per the note about shooting stars in the original tale. You'd get the most from knowing the tale beforehand, but I think the end result was high caliber.

One of those 23 dislikes is Putin. He was torn between liking this because the little orphan girl died and disliking it because she's now in love's warm embrace.

By the way, for anyone who hasn't read it she can't go home until she's sold all the matches

I don't care what anybody says this story made me cry the first time I read it and now every time I read or see it I cry. This is seriously sad.

This is so sad, I've just cried from watching it :(

...and that there are more children in this world without food than there are children with food.By the same token..if you as the parent know that your child will absolutely not be able to handle this then don't read it to them as it will impact them in a bad way.Anyway, beautiful story but also so sad that the very essence and core of this story is reality for so many.

This is not a story that Disney wrote its from Hans Christian Anderson.I just read the book to my son and I had to hold back my tears as I was reading it.My son who is 7 said he didn't like the story because she died but I think that children (who can handle and process stories like this) need to hear stories like this at least once...because it gets them out of the usual way of thinking which is all endings will be great.They sometimes need to know that not every child in this world is lucky.

She does die in this version. If you pay attention, you can see that the match girl's body is still on the ground in the snow when she is being carried off by her grandmother.

[Timothy Yang]

She did die though. In the story, she sees her Grandmother one last time and she carries her to Heaven just as New Years is starting.

What. She was supposed to die... But of course Disney couldn't possibly create such a tragically beautiful ending.
