Original subtitles

Narrator: In the heart of a magical forest,

there exists a kingdom of very small people,

most of them no bigger than your thumb.

For many years, they lived happily

far from the eyes of the outside world,

until one day, a man came to the forest

looking for unusual creatures

to display in his travelling circus.

He discovered the peaceful kingdom

and could imagine the crowds

that would pay to see his tiny new stars.

He crept into the village

and stole two of the tiniest inhabitants --

a boy and a girl.

Far outside the village, the boy managed to escape,

but the girl remained his prisoner.

With no memory of her past,

the girl grew into a tiny, beautiful woman.

[ Thunder crashes ]

Man: [ Echoing ] Thumbelina! Thumbelina!

Thumbelina, wake up!

[ Footsteps ]

It's almost showtime! Time to sparkle!

One more show today,

then you can sleep on your own time.

[ Groans ]

Get a move on.

[ Mockingly ] "Get a move on."

[ Both laughing hysterically ]

If you rejects put half as much energy

into the show as you do your downtime,

you might be good for something!

Easy, girl. Just one more show tonight.

[ Gasps ] [ Gasps ] [ Gasps ]

[ Growls ]

Showtime!

I want to see a chipper bunch of rejects

smiling ear to ear.

[ Blowing raspberries ]

Hmm?

[ Carnival music plays, man clears throat ]

Ladies and gentlemen! Moppets of all ages!

Roman's Carnival of Curiosity is proud to present

a cavalcade of comedy, a totality of tomfoolery,

not to mention reams of rejects!

It's positively cumbersome!

But I "depress."

Presenting the world's tiniest child,

6 inches of fun,

the little girl who stands the world on its "rear" --

the one, the only...

Thumbelina!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, well. Here we go again.

[ Laughter ]

[ Applause ] Aw!

Ooh! Ooh!

[ Laughter ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Gasps ] Ooh!

[ Screeches ] [ Gasps ]

Aaah! Aaah!

[ Chattering ]

[ Screeching ]

Aah!

[ Panting ]

[ Chattering ]

[ Screeching ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Gasps ]

Where did the little girl come from?

Found her under a leaf.

One of life's little accidents --

freak of nature.

[ Chuckles ]

Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever in your days

seen anything of this "magnesium"?

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thumbelina the Magnificent!

Doesn't she just burn your heart, ladies and gentlemen?

[ Chattering ]

[ Crunch ] Ohhh!

No food for the chimp tonight!

Look at that hand.

"Inflection" could set in at any moment.

Well... could have been worse.

Worra could have made a snack of your elephantine proboscis.

That's true.

I...think...that...

you're growing up smart, and I don't like smart.

It "irrigates" me, you hear?

I hear you. You're "irrigated."

And Roman does not like to be "irrigated."

Who does?

Especially by one of his little rejects!

I'm a reject.

There are other mice. There are other monkeys.

There are even other pinheads.

But there's only one like me.

Only one me.

[ Sighs ] Only one.

Oh.

[ Birds chirping ]

There's no one anywhere in this world like me.

No one.

Let me have a wrench, will ya?

Thanks, Ben.

[ Chuckles ]

[ All barking ]

[ Grunting ]

Ah, come on. Ugh!

Agh! Can you fix it, boy?

Piece...of...

Ugh! Ugh! Ohhh!

All right, start her up.

[ Sputtering ]

[ All howling ]

Ben, do you think I'm short for my age?

That's hard to say, Tom.

Since there's nothing to compare me to, you mean?

Better to be an original than a copy.

[ Sighs, groans softly ]

What's that?

What's what?

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

You always were a sucker for that one.

Ha ha ha ha!

Listen, always be prepared for any eventuality, kid.

[ Sighs ]

You tell him.

I'm not gonna tell him. What about Muscles, here?

I just don't think my nerves could survive a confrontation.

Ah, let's draw straws.

[ Whinnies ]

Hey! Loosen up there, will ya? Ugh!

Oh! Agh!

I always lose this stupid game.

[ Door opens ] Here comes Roman.

[ Grunting ] What have we got here?

Looks like a reject unemployment line,

which it could very well be very soon.

Do you got something on your mind, Pinhead?

What about you, Tiny?

You thinking about anything besides your next meal?

[ Giggles ]

How 'bout you, Brawn For Brains?

Well, as a matter of fact, sir,

we were just chatting, and --

Get to the point!

All: Thumbelina has something to say to you.

Hmm!

So what have you got to tell me?

Uh, w-we think --

I think you should feed the monkey.

There's a lot of thinking going on around here and none of it wise.

So Little Miss Ugly wants to feed the monkey?

Well, maybe I'll feed him you.

Put me down.

Put me down!

[ Laughing ] Put me down.

Put me down!

Thanks for the ride, pal. [ Barks ]

[ Owl hooting ]

This is the place, isn't it, Ben?

Yep.

This is where I found you, kid.

It was after I first took the act on the road.

I was camped for the night

right where we find ourselves now.

I had just nodded off when I heard a sound.

At first, I thought I was dreaming.

But the dogs -- they heard it, too.

It was the sound of voices --

hundreds of voices, tiny voices, screaming.

It chilled me clean through.

One of the dogs saw something.

They got good eyes -- dogs do, you know.

Then I saw it, too.

Something was running toward me, something small.

Me?

You weren't more than a toddler at the time.

I picked you up, and, well, you fell right asleep.

Children will do that, you know.

Growing up...

I always felt like I was the only one like me.

But lately you've been feeling that there might be others.

Hmm.

And that...maybe -- I don't know --

there might be somebody special.

I think it may be time for you to strike out

and try to find that special somebody.

That's why I brought you here.

You see, Tom, I'm going to be moving on soon, too,

and where I'm going, well, you can't be coming with me.

I've had some good years, and many of them,

the best since I found you.

But comes a time when everybody's gotta move on.

For you, it's called growing up.

For me...

well...

[ Horse neighs ]

If you like the company of rodents and chimps

better than people,

you can ride with them.

No!

[ Grunting ]

[ Horse neighs ]

No, please, no.

I can take everything away, kid,

even the light.

No, I don't like the dark. I'm afraid.

[ Laughing maniacally ]

Hyah! [ Neighs ]

[ Thunder crashes ]

Go ahead. Tell her what you heard.

When -- when Roman was hitching up the horses,

he told one of the drivers

that we're near the place where he found you years ago.

He said there were others like you that night,

but you were the only one he could catch

'cause you were just a baby.

[ Chatters ]

There are others?

Others like me?

[ Screeching ]

I may be small, but I am not gonna be small here any longer.

If there's others like me,

then -- then there's someplace I belong, and I can find it.

[ Rattling ]

Ugh!

Whoa.

I think I can.

[ Thunder crashes ]

I know I can.

There are some clothes in there,

some food, and a compass.

That should be everything you need.

I wish I knew how to thank you.

You've been like a father to me, Ben.

You don't have to thank me, kid.

You've given me more than I ever thought I'd have.

Ah!

I was wrong.

You are my father.

I love you, Ben.

That's a tear for good luck, Tom.

[ Whimpers ] [ Whines ]

Goodbye, fellas.

[ All howl ]

Ah!

[ Whimpers ]

Better get a move on, boy.

[ Sighs ]

[ Animals sound-off in distance ]

[ Neighs ]

Ugh!

[ Gasps ] [ Gasps ]

Oh. That was close.

Hey!

Hey, watch it.

I'm still back here, you know. Hey!

It'll be okay.

Don't look down.

Don't look down. It'll be okay.

Uhh!

[ Gasps ]

Good luck! We'll miss you!

[ Chattering ]

I'll miss you, too.

[ Thunder crashes ]

It's freezing.

[ Shivers ]

Oh...

Didn't anybody ever tell you that it's not polite to stare?

[ Croaks ]

[ Croaks ]

Hey, didn't anybody ever tell you it's not polite to stare?

[ Croaks ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ British accent ] I've never seen anything like it.

[ British accent ] It only has two arms.

Well, it looks like pond sludge.

[ Gasps ]

Let's take it home to Mother.

I saw it first.

You thought it was pond sludge.

Well, now that I look closer, I see it's defective.

No antennae --

how can it feel without an antenna?

We don't want something that can't feel.

I can feel quite well, thank you very much.

A biped no less.

You're talking about me as if I'm not even here.

Stop it.

Ooh...touchy. Ooh...touchy.

Petulant little thing.

Let it be, Bertha. It's not in our class.

I am not an "it." I'm a "she."

And she is leaving.

Maybe with discipline, she could be house-trained.

Could we stand to look at her day after day?

That's my question.

She's so...ugly.

[ Groans ]

Let's see what Mummy thinks.

Yes, let's let Mummy decide if we keep her.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

It's not up to you or anybody to keep me,

not anymore.

I'm on my own.

[ Grunts ]

Ha, and with that attitude,

you'll always be on your own.

Get away. You don't belong here.

You don't belong anywhere. You don't belong anywhere.

Ha! Ha!

You don't belong anywhere. You don't belong anywhere.

[ Sniffles ] Maybe they're right.

[ Rumbling ]

What do you see, Godfrey? What do you see?

The usual, Daniel, the usual.

The usual insects, amphibians, indigenous plant life...

...raccoon guano...

tiny girl floating in a sardine can...

[ Chuckles ] [ Chuckles ]

Both: A tiny girl floating in a sardine can?!

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Humming ]

[ Humming continues ]

Ow! Agh!

Ooh! Ah! Ugh!

[ Rumbling ]

What do you think, Godfrey? What do you think?

Methinks the boss shall soon be singing our praises.

I love it when he sings!

[ Rumbling ]

Ugh! Ah!

Hmm...

[ Rumbling ]

Uhh! Uhh!

What do you say, Godfrey? What do you say?

Should we tell him now?

Good news, like your radish wines,

should be allowed to age, Daniel.

There's plenty of time to tell him.

Tell him what? [ Gasps ] [ Gasps ]

Your Majesty. Your Majesty.

[ Grunting ]

Who's speaking?

I-It's your humble servant, Godfrey, Your Majesty --

Captain of the guards.

And Daniel, your m-master at hounds.

[ Murmuring ] Hmm... I don't know.

You have news for me?

Excellent news!

Fantastic news!

Unprecedented news!

Glorious news!

Out with it already!

We've just seen the most beautiful creature

in the forest!

Stunning, lovely!

I've wanted a queen for a long time.

A kingdom isn't properly accessorised without one.

This girl has got "queen" written all over her.

[ Sniffing ]

Well, well, where is this divine creature?

Are my chambermaids preparing her for an audience?

Ohh...

You do have her, don't you?

Well, you know I don't like to be disappointed.

It makes me disagreeable, and when I'm disagreeable,

well! I wouldn't want to be you.

She's on her way, heh -- really.

Very anxious to meet you, she is, uh-huh.

Very anxious.

S-S-She wanted to look her best, you know?

She's, uh...

She's, uh... she's primping.

And I must look my best as well.

Where is my -- I need my crown!

The crown always impresses.

[ Bell clangs ] Where is that maid?!

Yes, where is that maid?

Gertrude, we're waiting!

[ Bell clangs ]

[ High-pitched voice ] Beg pardon, Sire.

I was, uh, polishing your crown. [ Giggles ]

[ Clears throat ]

I must share this news with my loyal subjects.

Captain of the guards, summon my minions.

Yes, Your Majesty.

[ Plays off-key ]

All moles, assemble in the throne room --

immediately!

Murgatroid, how good to see you.

Art is looking swell.

Gordon, how's the wife?

Nice...hat.

Are those new roller skates?

Arthur, that's a lovely...bonnet.

Hello, Barbara, you're looking...slim.

Guys, it's been ages!

Lincoln, Washington, nice to see you boys. Good to see you again.

Quiet!

Everyone, listen up.

We're gonna have to tell him someday.

Tell him what,

that everybody's deserted him?

You know the old coot's temper. [ Growls ]

I want my minions to make ready a celebration, you see.

I'm taking a bride.

Way to go! Whoo-hoo! Attaway to go, Your Highness!

You'll look great in tails!

She comes to us highly recommended.

I'm certain you will serve her as you have served me.

And now I must prepare to meet my bride.

She arrives at any moment.

Doesn't she?

In a jiffy. In a jiffy, ha ha.

[ Humming ]

[ Crackling ]

[ Rumbling ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ] Ahh!

Ouch!

What do you think that was, Godfrey?

What do you think that was?

There's another one.

Boy...

I hope there's nothing serious between them.

[ Panting ]

[ Grunts ]

Don't run away from me.

Ugh! Agh! Uhh!

Hey, what the --

[ Grunts ]

What are you?

I'm not a "what."

I'm a "who"...

like...like you.

You are, aren't you?

Like me.

Where did you come from?

What are you doing here?

I'm on a journey to find other little people like myself.

That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Wow, I've never met anybody like me before.

Me neither.

Where are you from?

I...I don't know.

Neither do I.

I do remember one thing -- one word from my past.

Horse.

[ Laughing ] Horse?

[ Laughs ] Go figure.

I probably dreamt it.

But Ben told me I definitely came from someplace.

Who's Ben?

[ Sighs ]

He raised me.

Was he big?

The biggest.

And the kindest.

Who raised you?

I wasn't exactly raised.

I was incarcerated.

But that's all in the past.

I am on my own now.

Well...

I was thinking...

that...since...

well, we seem to be looking for the same thing...

maybe...we could be on our own together.

I...

I would like that very much.

[ Crackling ]

Ugh!

You see, Mummy? We told you.

Oh, no!

Did we exaggerate, Mummy?

[ British accent ] It looks like pond sludge.

My words exactly.

The short one's sort of cute.

At least he's male.

Let's just ignore them.

Ben says if you ignore something, it goes away.

Yeah, we can ignore them, but they won't go away.

Trust me.

Ooh!

Stop that!

I'm serious!

If you're so serious, smarty,

why are you wearing that?

It probably doesn't even have a name.

I do have a name.

It's Thumbelina.

[ All gasp ]

[ All laugh ]

That is the dumbest name I've ever heard.

[ Laughing ]

Well, you have to admit, it's a pretty silly name.

And what's your name?

Tom -- Tom...

[ Muffled ] Thumb.

I didn't catch that.

Tom Thumb.

Okay?

Thumb.

And my name's silly?

Tell me, Tom Thumb,

do you think all little people are as short as you?

I don't know, Thumbelina.

And I don't know if they're all as rude as you.

What are you staring at? What are you staring at?

Between you and me, Tom,

I don't think there's magic in this relationship.

Well...

we don't really have a relationship.

Terrific.

I suggest ditching the beanpole.

It's all for the best.

Have you met my daughters?

I guess I'll say goodbye, then.

[ Muffled ] Thumbelina!

[ Grunting ]

Fine!

That's just how I want it, too.

[ Grunts ]

Ooh! Agh! Ooh!

Ohhh!

Ooh! Oh!

[ Sighs ]

Hmm...

Tom: Thumbelina!

Wait up!

[ Panting ]

Where are your friends?

Ach, they're not my friends.

You're my friend.

I am?

Sure you are.

Look, I...

we -- we've never met anyone like us.

You, me...you know?

I know.

I...I guess

we have some things to learn about each other.

You know?

So maybe, if you want to...

we can learn about each other...together?

[ Gasps ]

[ Muffled cry ]

[ Gasps ]

I guess she'd rather be on her own...after all.

Mole King: Oh, my little darling...

welcome to my palace.

[ Giggles ]

So soft.

Oh, so shy. So...

[ Sniffs ]

...fragrant.

Uh, t-thanks so much.

Send in the chambermaid on your way out.

We need to prepare a hole for our guest.

Uh, t-that d-definitely isn't necessary.

I-I won't be requiring a hole. I-I can't stay.

Ooh hoo hoo hoo!

And so witty!

I was the chambermaid last time.

And you did it so well.

The snood suits you.

I thought it was a nice touch.

[ Chuckles ] Hmm...

[ Laughs ]

We'll have a huge wedding, sparing no expense.

All my subjects will be in attendance.

We'll invite everyone in the forest --

everyone I haven't terrorised, banished, or imprisoned.

As for those I've eliminated,

well, they won't know what they're missing!

Ha ha ha!

[ Sighs ] Look...

this is all very flattering, but, um...

well...there's someone else.

Oh, nonsense.

Whomever it is could not possibly compare with me.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I shall woo you.

You'll come to love me.

Why, you haven't heard me sing.

I know all the words to "Auld Lang Syne,"

[ Singsong voice ] And I know what they mean.

[ Normal voice ] I can perform

the tenor and baritone parts in the ring cycle simultaneously!

And you haven't lived

until you've seen my Richard III.

Daniel: You desired -- [ Clears throat ]

[ High-pitched voice ] You desired me, Your Majesty?

I want you to find the most elaborate, desirable,

comfortable hole in my kingdom.

Make it ready for my queen --

for Queen...

eeee...eeee...

[ Chuckling ] I-I don't know your name, my dear.

Thumbelina.

Well, we'll have to do something about that.

Prepare the wedding.

Don't I have a say in this?

Of course not!

We'll have a wonderful life together.

[ Laughs ]

I insist.

I think he's awfully dreamy, really,

and I would love so very dearly, if you would like...

Ooh.

A little fibre for you? I'm sorry.

Oh, taste it. It's ever so juicy.

[ Laughs ] Ooh...

[ Gulps ]

Give me that. Give me that. Yeah. Yeah.

Your shoe -- this is for you.

Hey, where'd you find this?

[ Laughs ]

You twit!

That belongs to the beanpole.

Where did you find it?

Oh...around.

Around where?

There!

Oh, no.

I have to go after her.

She's everything I ever dreamt of.

Great work, morons.

If you had just listened to me, everything --

[ Both gasp ]

Well, what miracle has brought about this most welcome silence?

[ Heavy footsteps approaching ]

[ Gasps ]

[ All screaming ]

Take your pick.

These are my best holes.

Well, a-a choice is so difficult.

They're all very, very nice holes.

Have you found a hole that pleases you, my love?

I think so.

[ Humming "Here Comes the Bride" ]

[ Gasps ]

What are you in for?

He wants to marry me.

Untie me fast! That's a fate worse than death.

What are you in for?

I have no idea.

Godfrey, Daniel, what's on the menu for my engagement dinner?

Godfrey: Your favourite -- sparrow quiche.

[ Gasps ] Faster!

Where are you, my love?

Thumbelina?

Thumbelina?

Pumpkin, are you playing hide-and-seek?

The Mole King doesn't like games.

[ Echoing ] Thumbelina!!

Thumbelina!!

Once we're out of here, head straight for the skies.

One problem -- I can't fly!

What?!

Godfrey! Daniel!

Oh! But every bird knows how to fly. It's instinctual.

The moles captured me right after I fell out of my nest as a chick.

I never learnt.

I have two words for you -- sparrow quiche.

But I'm a very quick study.

[ Grunts ]

[ Sobbing ] Oh, she's left me!

My queen is AWOL!

Bring her back -- tout de suite!

Understood?

I'm not certain I grasp the French,

but I'm with you on the general meaning.

[ Yelling, growling ]

Understood. Understood.

Hurry!

Moles at 6:00!

Hold tight -- we're almost there.

Whoa!

Almost there!

Almost...

[ Breathless ] What do we do now, Godfrey?

What do we do now?

[ Snarling ]

Prudence demands a hasty retreat.

I'm with Prudence.

[ Grunting ]

I'm sure I'll acquire aerial expertise sooner or later.

We're safe now.

But I don't have any idea where we are.

I have to find Tom.

Who's Tom?

He's my...

my friend.

[ Gasps ]

After what we've been through, you can smile?

It -- it's just that I like the way it sounds, you know?

I've never said it before.

"My friend."

[ Chuckles ]

Feels good.

Hey, what's the matter?

I thought we were friends.

We just shared a very dangerous moment back there.

Yeah, that we did.

And I'm very grateful to you.

You are?

I am...

my friend.

Ah!

My name's Albertine.

Mine's...Thumbelina.

[ Giggles ]

I know.

It's a silly name.

[ Both sigh ]

Nothing can hurt us now.

We're friends.

We're safe.

And we're friends.

[ Heavy footsteps approaching ]

We're...in a lot of trouble! Run!

Ah!

Run for your -- [ Screams ]

Help!

Help!

My friend.

There's not enough air.

We're all gonna die!

[ Gasps ]

Thumbelina!

Tom! Are you all right?

It's that girl. I knew she was bad news.

This is all your fault!

Look, explain to me how all this could possibly be my fault.

Some things just are. Some things just are.

Whoa...

The colours of this one.

Hey, hey, look.

There's nothing to worry about.

He looks like a good kid.

He won't hurt us.

[ Whimpering ]

[ Both gasp ] Mummy!

[ Grunting ]

What is she doing?

I've got a plan.

[ Grunting continues ]

That's the girl of my dreams.

About to become the girl of your memories.

[ Gasps ]

[ Screams ]

[ Glass breaking ]

[ Gasps ]

It pains me to say, "I told you so,"

but when I'm right, I'm right.

[ Weakly ] Come closer.

You can talk?

Uh...barely.

Barely. I'm -- I'm fading fast.

Uh, closer.

Hey.

[ Sniffs ]

[ Moaning ]

Ha! Sweet dreams, kid.

[ Grunting ]

I always said you were special.

[ All cheering ]

[ All gasp ]

Ah!

Ahh!

[ Boy moaning ]

[ Moaning stops ]

Oh, my goodness! Ooh! Oh!

Oh, oh, oh!

Ooh! Oh! Oh!

Oh, please help us! Oh!

Ahh! [ Glass breaks ]

Pull me up!

[ Grunting ]

Bertha: Pull your arms into it.

Margaret: No, I'm doing it with my head.

There he is!

What do you say we get out of here?

Wait a sec.

Yeah! Okay, everybody.

Come on, hurry up.

All right!

Hurry up, you're free!

[ Door squeaks ]

[ Mexican accent ] Thanks, sister.

Why did you do that?

I know how they feel.

[ Both yelling ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Both grunt ]

Uh, we're on the ground now.

You can let me go.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

[ Mice whistling merry tune ]

Thanks for deep-sixing the kid, missy.

Yeah, thanks muchly.

Hey, they're here!

[ Cheering ]

Whoa. Hey, hang on there.

I hereby proclaim a celebration

in honour of our two new friends and their heroic deeds!

There's gonna be some dancin' and singin' and...

All: Avocado ice cream!

Ugh!

Beetles: We love avocado ice cream.

Is there room for three more?

Uh-huh! Oh, yeYeah! Sure!

[ Cheering ]

[ Choking ]

I want that girl...

not just something that smells like her.

[ Both grunting ]

Find her!!

Ouch!

[ Indistinct talking ]

You can help peel the avocado.

[ Giggles ] Great.

It's a three-man job.

They're slippery suckers!

No, no, oh, no...

[ Gasps ] Oh, my goodness.

Here it is.

Mmmm, mmm!

Oh, no, no, no.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, where to start,

where to start.

[ Laughs ]

A bath, certainly.

Uh, ooh...

a trim, most definitely.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

[ Wheelbarrow squeaking ]

[ Rumbling ]

Hey!

A party, you say. Hmm.

And there's another man in the picture?

Regrettably, yes.

He's got nothing on you in the looks department, if you ask me.

[ Laughs evilly ] I must demonstrate that I am the better catch.

I must woo her anew.

I must show her the best of me.

And if that should fail...

I'll simply dismember the competition.

Hee-hee! That's fair, don't you think?

More than fair! That's fair.

Call my handmaidens at once.

I need my cape and my dancing shoes.

I'm steppin' out.

[ Laughs evilly ]

I'm almost ready.

Where's the other one?

Leola, it's me.

Thumbelina -- it's me.

Thumbelina!

Can't be.

Why, baby, you're the loveliest thing I've ever seen.

So pretty.

I'm...pretty?

No one has ever brushed my hair before.

No one's ever -- ever hugged me before.

And I guess I just didn't know what it would feel like.

And how does it feel, baby?

Wonderful.

[ Cha-cha music plays ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Music stops, all gasping, murmuring ]

Hey, make way.

Hey, hey, hey.

[ Whistles ] Oh, my lad. [ Laughs ]

What a babe! What a babe!

[ Music resumes ]

Well, that one's a goner, girls.

Fan out and snare yourself a rodent.

Come on! Move it!

[ Wings flapping ]

Albertine! [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ]

Thumbelina!

I've been on your trail all day.

Just as I think you're in one place, you're in another.

Is that Tom?

Now I know everything is gonna be all right.

All my friends are here.

You mean, you don't know how to fly?

To work, girls, to work.

Look, Thumbelina, I'm sorry we got into that fight...

those fights.

It was my fault, too.

It'll be different tomorrow when we set out to find home.

What happens if we get there, and you find somebody...

taller?

You'll see -- I'm still looking for home,

but not somebody taller.

I sort of found my home when I found you.

You...you are my dream.

And you're a big part of mine,

but I-I can't stop

until the dream I've dreamt for so long is complete --

until I find that place

where I feel I really, truly belong.

Can we look for it... together?

Yes. You know, for the first time in my life,

I-I don't feel like a...

like a reject.

I never really thought there could be anybody like me.

And you were right about that.

There is nobody like you, Thumbelina.

[ Music playing, indistinct talking ]

[ Both giggle, music stops ]

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh, oh...

[ Music resumes ]

[ Giggles ]

I'm waiting.

Mole King: Wait no more.

Hello. Guess who?

[ Laughs evilly ]

I guess you could say I'm dressed to kill.

[ Gasps ]

I love a good cha-cha-cha.

I said, "I love a good cha-cha-cha"!

May I?

I'll lead.

Ooh! Shh!

Ah! Hmm! Ha!

Ooh!

Let him go. [ Straining ]

[ Sniffing ]

Is he your little friend?

Pathetic!

He certainly was a goofy dancer.

Can't hold a candle to your hoofing, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, look out for the --

[ Screams ]

Oh! Oh!

[ All grumbling ]

[ Screams ] [ Screams ]

[ Grumbling continues ]

[ Grunting ]

Thumbelina!

Oh! Oh.

[ Grunting continues ]

I can't have lost her.

Thumbelina!

Was ever a woman in this humour wooed?

Was ever a woman in this humour won?

Not on your life.

You are going to be my queen,

and this time I'm taking no chances.

My minions are blocking off all avenues of escape.

This is your home...

forever.

[ Gasps ]

I'll get away. I always do.

I've managed to extricate myself from more venal pigs than you.

More venal? Maybe.

More clever? More inspired? I don't think so.

You see, I have a little insurance this time.

Your tiny friend Tom is also my prisoner,

cloistered safely, at least so far,

in another section of my lair.

But, you see, there just aren't enough permanent holes

for the two of you.

Marry me, and I'll see that no harm comes to him.

If not, well, use your imagination.

I've used mine.

[ Sighs ]

All right.

I'll marry you.

You've made me so happy!

Godfrey, Daniel, prepare the wedding!

[ Humming "Here Comes the Bride" ]

I can't let anything happen to you, Tom.

I can't.

I don't care what happens to me.

Oh, Tom.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

The moles have blocked all the tunnels.

There's no way down!

There is one.

It's a half-day's journey from here.

Let's go!

Wait a sec!

How do you know about this hole?

I just know, that's all.

Come clean, sister.

How do you know where the Mole King lives?

I used to date the guy, okay?

[ All gasp loudly ]

Well, I was young. I was lonely.

All right?

Thumbelina saved me once.

Now I can repay her.

Climb aboard.

[ Grunts ]

I really don't like to fly.

That's okay -- neither do I.

Mmm, that is so reassuring.

There!

First hole to the left of the escarpment!

Hang on!

I haven't completely perfected my landing skills!

[ Screams ]

"Haven't perfected my landing skills."

Landing skills? Huh!

Okay, listen up, you two.

I've got a plan.

As long as it doesn't involve air travel.

[ Humming "Here Comes the Bride" ]

Why do you stay?

He's horrible to you.

He may be a fascist, but...

He's our fascist. he's our fascist.

We're scared of the guy. And, well...

We don't have anywhere else to go.

I was frightened once.

And I thought I didn't have anywhere to go.

But I got away.

Yeah, and look where you ended up --

in a dank hole engaged to a rank mole.

I got away once, and I can get away again.

Hmm...

The king's got you for good.

And if you're smart, you'll play it cool...

'cause you haven't seen the king really angry.

You can lose an inch on the hem.

Mole King: Godfrey, Daniel, my bride! Now!

[ Mumbling ]

I do.

I will, I can, I do.

[ "Here Comes the Bride" plays ]

[ Sobbing ]

I always cry at weddings.

Before this day is over, I hope to give you something to really cry about.

[ Gasps ]

[ Laughs ]

We are gathered here today

to join this mole and this woman in holy matrimony.

If there be any mole among you that know of any cause

why these two cannot be joined,

let him or her speak now or forever hold his peace.

[ Straining ] [ Laughing evilly ]

I thought not.

Your Majesty, do you take this woman --

[ Record scratches ] Tom: I'll give you a reason

why this woman can't marry this mole.

Who dares to interrupt?

I dare.

Thumbelina loves me!

I think.

Minions! After him.

[ Laughs ]

I'm still here.

Minions, decimate him.

Minions, there are only two guys here.

Two guys.

You don't have any minions. Look!

[ Gasps ]

I can see.

I can see how beautiful you are.

Oh, I can see how short you are.

I can see!

I-I can see.

Two moles --

two very unlucky moles!

I plead insanity, Your Majesty.

I can see some changes are going to have to be made.

The only change that's going to be made

is the identity of the groom.

That's not the change I have in mind.

This is my sandbox, and you can't play!

I am not in the giving vein today.

Come with me, my sweet.

[ Thump ]

[ Gasps ]

Oh, let go of me!

Get your hands off!

Oh!

Stop!

Disgusting! Let go of me.

Let go!

Wait!

Daniel: Your Highness! Your Majesty!

[ Growls ]

[ Screaming ]

Hmm.

[ Grunting ]

Not so fast, fur balls.

First, you got to deal with Mama Leola.

You see, I planned for every contingency.

That's what makes me regal!

Please, no.

No, I-I'm afraid of the dark.

Oh, you'll come to love it as I do.

We don't need light.

We don't need anything!

We have each other...

now and for always

in my kingdom of perpetual night.

[ Laughs evilly ]

We are so alike, my little Thumbelina.

Both of us -- rejects.

I'm proud to be one, and you'll grow to accept being one, too.

I am not a reject.

[ Rumbling ]

Ooh! Ooh!

Wait, pumpkin!

Your king commands you to stay!

Oh, so wise so young, they say, do never live long!

Guess again!

Ah!

[ Grumbling ]

No!

[ Screaming ]

[ Growling ]

Thus far into the bowel of the land

have we marched on without impediment.

Dig straight up.

Ow!

Here.

[ Growling, yelling ]

Come on!

[ Growling ]

Know what to do?

[ Squawks ]

Get...that...mouse.

Where's the love?

[ Growling ]

Trust me?

I do.

You do?

Yes, I'm that kind of girl!

[ Screams ]

Oh!

Ahh!

Hoo!

Godfrey, Daniel!

You are in such trouble!

[ Sobbing ]

He always liked a good exit.

What do we do now, Godfrey? What do we do now?

Ooh!

This looks like it might just be...my size.

Your size?

If you think for one minute that you're gonna be the new king

after I spent all that time dressing up

as maids and ladies-in-waiting and things,

you're out of your mind!

Gimme!

Oh, hey, give me that! That's my crown!

Get your claws off me!

[ Both muttering ]

Gimme it!

That's my crown. I'm the king.

I'm the king. I'm the king.

Give it back. Hey, give me that.

It's not over yet.

She still has to land.

I-I don't think I can.

You can!

[ All talking at once ]

Tom: Albertine!

Go, Albertine!

Oh, no!

It's okay! I see a spot to land!

Fine, just land anywhere.

The dandelion patch

right next to that village of little people!

Tom, Thumbelina, and Leola: Village of little people?

Ohh! Ohh!

Oh!

[ Both scream ]

[ Indistinct murmuring ]

Princess Maya?

Princess Maya!

My child.

My beauty.

Are you really my mother?

I have a mother.

Tom, I have a mother.

[ Sighs ]

I don't know how, but you're home --

home, and we'll never lose each other again.

This is where you belong.

Where I belong.

A-And this must be my father.

Now, Maya, I have another surprise for you.

So good to meet you, my love.

[ Smooches ]

This is your intended.

My what?

My darling, I know this is all so very, very sudden.

I'm certain we'll be very happy

once we're married and get to know each other.

We have to talk.

Look, ever since I can remember,

people have been telling me what to do.

And I did it because I didn't know any better.

Well, now I make my own decisions.

Look, Prince, I'm sure that you're a great guy.

I mean, you're handsome, you're tall, and, well, princely.

But it just wouldn't work because, you see,

there's somebody else.

And if I'm the princess,

then I should be able to be with whomever I want, right?

She's definitely your daughter.

[ Chuckles ]

I know all this takes some getting used to.

The prince is really a backup, you see.

You were promised at birth to another prince,

but he disappeared the same night you did.

His name was Horace.

Horace?

Horse! Attaway!

Alas, I don't think there's enough hope in the world

to wish for his return as well.

Guess again. Guess again.

Horace?

Horace! Horse.

His family was always on the short side.

My dear, what other surprises do you have in store for us?

Mother, I'd like you to meet my friends.

Um...we have some unfinished business...

don't we, Prince Horace?

That we do.
