Review of Thumbelina

Thumbelina (1994)
7/10
Better than most Disney movies
31 March 2003
Don Bluth does not only make a great movie with "Thumbelina", it is better than most Disney movies by far. It has a great mix of voices, a great plot and some interesting and beautifully drawn characters.

If Disney would´ve made this movie, the characters would not look human, they´d look abrupt and ugly.

The greatness of Don Bluth animations, is that there are so many different songs, or nearly no songs at all. In Disney movies, the main character sings at least 3 songs of her/his own, and the little "love duet" together with her/his love and the villain sings 1 , the highest 2 songs, or there are no songs at all.

In Bluth´s movies, the main character may have at the highest 2 songs, a duet and at least 2 villainous songs, or nearly no songs at all.

That is why Don Bluth´s movies are better than Disney´s, there is a such big mix.

"Thumbelina" does not ONLY have this, it has sweet characters that you learn to love, villainous villains, and interesting drawn other characters.
