View All Critic Reviews Mar 13, Loved by our two-year-old girl. It's very typical fairytale movie, but it's got good songs and likeable characters.
Angela A Super Reviewer. Sep 25, Thumbelina is based on the Hans Christian Andersen book of the same name about a very small girl literally about 3 inches tall who wants to meet a fairy and she ends up getting her wish when a fairy prince named Cornelius visits her. The two schedule another meeting but a frog woman takes thumbelina to her house to marry her son. Thumbelina escapes and is now trying to find the prince and get home. Now seeing how this is Don Bluth after his, how shall I say, downfall in quality, I wasn't expecting much, especially seeing how it seems like its trying to be like a Disney Princess style film, but what I got shocked me immensley, and not in the good way.
Okay Thumbelina gets a cast of both voice actors, singers, and comedians, but every character in the film is either a stereotype, bland, not developed enough, or just ungodly annoying, mainly that last one.
Jodi Benson plays Thumbelina but its basically Ariel from Little Mermaid, just with less personality and more one dimensional, which is sad because Benson has done good characters before but this character was written so poorly and just not that interesting.
But the worst character in the film is Jacimo the sparrow played by Gino Conforti. Conforti, I don't know what went wrong but this character was the most obnoxious thing. The design is annoying, he's overly optimistic, and the accent drives me crazy, It also doesn't help he gets two songs in the film and those are just as annoying as him. The only character that I liked was Gilbert Gottfried as the Beetle.
Not only is he this films only saving grace, but his character is also really funny. The design of the character is interesting, and his one liners and dialogue is just hilarious, but aside from that there are no memorable characters in this film. Now the music is another story.
Now for starters, Barry Manilow. I never thought he was a good composer and sometimes he'll just take other peoples songs and mess around with the lyrics and make up his own and keep the tone and beat to it.
But the songs hear are just as obnoxious as almost all the characters in this film. Jodi Bensons songs are slow and drawn out too long, the frogs get one song and that song is just painful to my ears, Carol Channings irritating voice gets to sing once thankfully, and not to mention Jacimo's songs too are obnoxious and overly happy.
The only song that I like, ironically also involves the beetle played by Gottfried, though Randy Crenshaw does the vocals for this song, and I guess you could qualify this as a villain song even though Beetle isn't established as a villain by this point. Now im probably being too harsh on this movie seeing how this movie was probably made for much younger kids in mind, but when it comes to Don Bluth, there are no dark turns in this film or anything made for adults and seeing how this is based off a Hans Christian Andersen novel thats saying something.
This is just a film strictly made for kids. I'd recommend this movie only to children under the ages of maybe 8. But overall, and I'm going to sound extremely harsh to say this about a kids film, this is hands down one of the top ten worst movies I've ever seen in my life and next to Gilbert Gottfried, there is nothing I can see as good in this film.
Michael E Super Reviewer. Feb 12, Great music : Favorite lines; Mother: Oh, no, Thumbelina. Don't ever wish to be anything but what you are.
