CRAZY TOAD ON DISNEY MOVIE MOVIE

This film has it's major flaws, but also has it's moments of beauty.Īnimation/Coloring: The coloring in here is a little dull, you can clearly see the colors they're trying to use, but they are just matte & boring, but the visuals they use in here, such as the excessive sparkles/glitter, & lights are truly a dazzling view. So you can already expect me to say that yes, I loved Thumbelina as a child, but to be more accurate, I liked it. I have yet to watch The Secret of NIMH, & need to rewatch The Pebble & the Penguin, & Rock-A-Doodle (movies I loved as a child). I truly hated A Troll in Central Park, never liked An American Tale, & could care less for All Dogs Go to Heaven. Now, Don Bluth has only made a handful of animated movies I love The Land Before Time, & Anastasia. It's good on some points, mainly visually, but it's also crappy on others.

CRAZY TOAD ON DISNEY MOVIE MOVIE

Thumbelina was a movie I hoped to truly adore after over 13 years of not watching it, only, I found myself only to be neutral to it. 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. I'd recommend this movie only to children under the ages of maybe 8. This is just a film strictly made for kids. 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. 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. 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. But the songs hear are just as obnoxious as almost all the characters in this film. 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. 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. Not only is he this films only saving grace, but his character is also really funny. The only character that I liked was Gilbert Gottfried as the Beetle. 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. Conforti, I don't know what went wrong but this character was the most obnoxious thing.

But the worst character in the film is Jacimo the sparrow played by Gino Conforti. 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. 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. 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. Thumbelina escapes and is now trying to find the prince and get home. The two schedule another meeting but a frog woman takes thumbelina to her house to marry her son.

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.
