[quote="Fez_Head"]I haven't seen Thumbelina in forever! I was never a big fan of it as a kid. I mean, it was always more like, "Oh look, it's Thumbelina. I could watch that or Kiki's Delivery Service for the twenty-third time this week..." Yeah, you could say I liked Kiki's Delivery Service. A lot. :) I hated that beetle guy and the toads. That mama toad is seriously what nightmares are made of. [quote="Meesh"]I seem to remember noticing a ton of obvious Disney knock-offs in it but still enjoying some of the songs.."[/quote] Story based off of a Hans Christian Anderson story like The Little Mermaid? Check! Main character is the speaking voice of Ariel (Just found this out, yet always knew Gilbert Gottfried was the beetle. My priorities as a kid were skewed :lol: ) Check! Prince Cornelius takes Thumbelina on a magic carpet.. I mean, magic bug ride and sings "Let Me Be Your Wings" which is eerily similar to "A Whole New World," complete with Thumbelina bending down and caressing the water? Check! Bug totally ships them like a famous sentient rug? Check! Thumbelina's dress colour changes from blue to pink to blue to pink again and finally back to blue? Check! These are just a few I noticed after watching a clip of their duet on YouTube.[/quote]
