Editorial Review:
Enter the magical world of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina, together for the first time ever, in the all-new animated movie "The Adventures Of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina." A new take on the classic characters of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, this charming film features Elijah Wood and Jennifer Love Hewitt in the title roles. Bursting with delightful songs and humor, this heartwarming story of courage and friendship is perfect entertainment for the whole family.
Description of The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina:
Hans Christian Andersen meets the Grimm Brothers in Disney's animated blending of two classics. Of course there are significant updates: Thumbelina (Jennifer Love Hewitt) doesn't need others to come to her aid; she rescues herself--and others. Between the evil circus sideshow owner who keeps her incarcerated until young adulthood, the Mole King (Peter Gallagher) who twice abducts her for marriage, and a scientifically inclined boy who traps both little people in test tubes, there is plenty of rescuing to be done. Tom Thumb (Elijah Wood), also kidnapped in infancy, had a happy childhood but sets out in search of kin. The small pair meet cute, bicker, fall in love, and, eventually, find their way back to their small village. The animation is a little flat, the songs fairly drippy, but the voice casting is stellar (Bebe Neuwirth, Jane Leeves, Robert Guillaume, etc.) and the underdog story line will appeal to the kids. Ages 3 to 7. --Kimberly Heinrichs
The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina Reviews:
Not sure 
2008-04-16 - Still yet one to watch. I am sure it would be great. Jennifer does an amazing job in hunchback 2, can't wait to watch it.
I DO NOT LIKE IT ONE LITTLE BIT! 
2007-04-19 - I do not like this movie, at all! It is nothing like disney's thumbelina! Now there's something to by! Just take my advice, do not by this for your child! They will be VERY dissapointed!
P.S CHACHACHA IS A VERY LAME SONG!
Great Movie 
2003-08-11 - Now,this movie was great. Diffeent from the original thumbelina, but s entertainig. The grandkids really enjoyed it. At first a little scary, the mole is ugly, but the more they watched, the more they ejoyed. Good job.
it was awsome 
2003-06-04 - the movie is soo cute. i loved it!!! the songs are great special the welcome to my hole!but most of all i liked the songi am so all alone! i think even for a cartoon tom was a cutie pie!i hope the soundtrack is out so i can get it!i watch it about 20 times is good!
Great movie for kids!
2003-04-08 - Adventurous, funny, melodic, nice story-line. Great movie for those lazy afternoons. See for yourself. Excellent performance by Jennifer Lowe Hewitt in "I am alone" and "I was once alone". You will love it!
(If you don't then you are definitely TOO OLD. Don't watch PG-13s.)
The less-detailed animation is the only cons I could find. My daugther and I loved watching little Tumbelina's journey to find her love and home. The story contains humour (the two moles are strikingly similar (and grotesque) to Pumba and Timon in Lion King), the little people village somehow feels like Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. The songs are worth listening to couple times. You will like the option to play them again (and with lyrics!).
