Line 6:
It sticks to the basic story fairly closely. A woman pines for a child and, magically, she is gifted with a little girl no bigger than her thumb. Thumbelina, as she is promptly named, is a [[The Pollyanna|happy person]] but secretly pines to meet someone tiny like herself. Over the course of the film, she gets into several misadventures with [[Wacky Wayside Tribe|various characters]] who want to marry her (come to think of it, this is a pretty odd story). Eventually she finds the enchanted Fairy Prince of her dreams. They get married and Thumbelina transforms into a Fairy and good times are had by all.

* [[Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal]]: Jacquimo wears only a hat, a scarf and boots.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Say what you will about the overall quality of the movie, but most of its weird and or confusing points (e.g., Thumbelina being born out of a flower and inexplicably growing wings at the end) were already in the original story by H. C. Andersen. The romance between Thumbelina and the fairy prince was, if you can believe it, even more abrupt in the fairy tale. Also, Thumbelina's toad suitor and the beetle [[What Happened to the Mouse?|were never heard from after]] their initial appearances, whereas the film expanded their roles.
