A girl no bigger than her mothers thumb feels all alone in the world knowing she is the only person her size. Her wish for a companion at last comes true when the prince of the fairys arrives at her window sill. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 03/14/2006 Run time: 86 minutes Rating: Nr Ranking just behind the best of animator Don Bluth's films (Anastasia and The Secret of NIMH), Thumbelina is a bubble-light version of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. The finger-sized heroine goes about the old-fashioned trials of trying to find a good man, but the film is clever enough to make it endearing for the 3-6 set and more than passable for adult viewers. Barry Manilow provides much of the song score, which helps immensely. The ballad "Let Me Be Your Wings" is as good as Disney's best. Carol Channing and Charo have a good ol' time with their songs too. The voice of Thumbelina is none other than Jodi Benson, who gave voice to Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid. --Doug Thomas

But it appears to be in the original packaging, so I will assume its new, or at the very least in good shape. We shall know, come Christmas time.
Other than that, quick delivery and fairly priced :) Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect movie for your little princess Comment: This is my 4-year-old princess-loving daughter's absolute favorite movie. She wants to watch it over and over again. Unlike most of the Disney movies, nothing in this movie scared her. My 2-year-old daughter also enjoys this movie very much!
