Hans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina | 1994 | G | - 0.2.0
Animated version of the classic fairy tale about a tiny girl, who, after many adventures, marries her prince.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - Some teenage kissing.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - Some kicking and pushing. A fairy prince is temporarily frozen to death in a block of ice. A beetle's wings are forcibly removed from his back by a bully of a frog. Thumbelina is forcibly kidnapped from her home and forced to sing and dance catchy tunes composed by toads.
LANGUAGE 0 - None.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Kidnaping.
MESSAGE - The intended message is that there's a "right-size" place for everybody, even those who don't seem to fit in the regular world. However, there's also an unintentional message for girls: just be beautiful, take singing lessons, do housework and someday your prince will come.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
