Thumbelina ★★½ Hans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina 1994 (G)

Ornery little girl named Mia gets magically sucked into the pages of the “Thumbelina” storybook she's reading and finds all sorts of adventures. Loose adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale from Bluth is lackluster, with acceptable songs. Not up to the level of recent Disney animated features, but pleasant enough for the kids. 86m/C VHS, DVD. D: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman; W: Don Bluth; M: William Ross, Barry Manilow, Barry Manilow, Jack Feldman, Bruce Sussman; V: Jodi Benson, Gary Imhoff, Charo, Gilbert Gottfried, Carol Channing, John Hurt, Will Ryan, June Foray, Kenneth Mars. Golden Raspberries ‘94: Worst Song (“Marry the Mole”).
