Charming movie!.......2006-03-31

I'm glad I listened to my friends when choosing to view this film. It is perfectly wonderful, the animation is a little on the un-expensive side, but the image and sound are perfect and the colors are vibrant and varied. The movie doesn't attempt to be grand or earth-shattering and that is half of its wonder. It is a fifty minute film for every little child to enjoy. Certainly one of the finest animated films to come out of the Goodtimes studios which are known for cheap children's fare. This one is a real winnner and mothers, it's a perfect film for the little ones. No violence, no scary scenes (Except for a little battle with some wolves), lovely music and songs and memorable characters. I love it!

"No one could have a better friend than you.".......2006-02-11

Goodtimes' Thumbelina is an imaginative, charming film that any child is sure to enjoy (Although my father really enjoyed watching the film as well, so the movie is really suitable for anyone looking for a sweet story to dive into).

Surely the title, Thumbelina, rings a familiar bell to anyone's ear thanks to the popular fairy tale about the girl no bigger than one's thumb presented originally by Hans Christian Andersen. Now this story has been retold countless times through books and movies and even just by the passing of words. Goodtimes also took a shot at retelling this popular tale, and ended up with a very nice result.

Goodtimes tells the story of an innocent Thumbelina living with her father in a beautiful meadow along with many other "little people." They live happily but are confronted with a problem - the snow in the mountains are melting, and when the snow melts, all the water will come down into the valley where the little people are. Worried that the dam will break, brave little Thumbelina sets out to go find the prince and bring some help to the meadow before the snow melts. Thumbelina finds herself in a world of hurt along the way, running into characters that mean her harm or want to use her for their own gain. Poor Thumbelina is held back countless times while trying to triumph, luckily, along the way Thumbelina is also confronted with characters who intend to help Thumbelina as much as they can. Resulting in sweet character relationships and scenes.

Sweet, timeless melodies accompany this heart-filled story, all beautiful classical melodies that match so perfectly with the scenes. There's also a sweet song in the beginning of the film, and we are even treated with hearing Thumbelina herself sing "Edelweiss."

There aren't too many films made like this anymore, the world today seems to focus on violence or comedies (a lot of the comedies these days are full of forced humor and not even funny). It's nice to look back on these older films, to see how charming and sweet they are, invigorating and peaceful. Thumbelina is one of those films that possesses all those qualities, any child will enjoy watching Thumbelina.

A perfect film for any little boy or girl to watch!.......2004-09-24

Goodtimes' films are known to be cheap and downright awful, don't let those adult comments fool you, any child will enjoy a Goodtimes film, after all, these films were made for children, so what the heck are adults doing insulting these films? I bet the scores would be higher if these movies were rated by kids.

Anyways, back to Thumbelina. This is the classic tale of the little girl, smaller than a thumb. The story is simple, Thumbelina and her father are happily living at the top of the mountains. However the problem is that a lot of snow is expected this winter and when spring comes, the snow will melt, drowning the little people in the meadows. For this, Father sends his little Thumbelina in a journey to warn everyone, a task that proves a big challenge for someone so tiny. Thumbelina travels through beautiful meadows meeting the most interesting characters, some good and helpful like Big Bear or some with evil intentions like Mona and Mr. Mole.

As the title of the review says, this is a perfect movie for children to watch: sweet loving characters, lovely tunes that caress each scene, no violence and a lot of heart and charm. Animation, of course, doesn't stand up to Disney animation, but children will pay no attention to that, so it won't bother them.

Music and songs, like in many other Goodtimes animated films, are top notch. Thumbelina opens up with an adorable song any little child is sure to enjoy,

"Oh Thumbelina, smaller than my thumb,
You'll save the little people and the princess you'll become,
You are twice as brave as anyone, you are good and true,
Little, tiny Thumbelina, I love you..."

Also, throughout the movie, you'll hear lovely classical melodies, composed by famous musicians, including Beethoven and others. Children are sure to sing along to the classic camp fire song, "Edelweiss."

It's a shame they don't make films like this anymore, "Thumbelina" is a treasure to behold, a perfect example of what a children's film should be like. These Goodtimes films are so cheap, always less than $10, they are a good collection of classics that children can save for and buy on their own.
