Thumbelina

1994

Mother: Now, here is the story of the noble dog, who saved the king from the wicked wizard. Once upon a time... Thumbelina: Oh, mother, please. Are there any stories about... about little people? Mother: Well, as a matter of fact, there are, Thumbelina. Look. (lifts her on to the book, which is opened to a picture of fairies) Thumbelina: Why, they are little! Just like me! (points to wings) But... but what are those? Mother: Those are wings, Thumbelina. These are fairies and fairies have wings so they can fly. Thumbelina: Mother, have you ever seen a fairy? Mother: Well, I thought I did once. Thumbelina: Really? Mother: (laughs) Yes. (puts reading glass on to picture to magnify the image) And here, the fairy prince and princess are having a wedding. Thumbelina: And they live... happily ever after!! Mother: (smiles) Usually, my dear. Thumbelina: (crawls under glasses so she is by the picture of the prince) I... suppose it works best if two people are about... the same size. Mother: (unsure) Yes, of course. Thumbelina: (crawls out from underneath the glasses) Well... well, that's not fair. I... I must be the only little person in the world. I wish I were big. Mother: Oh, no, Thumbelina. No. Don't ever wish to be anything but what you are.

Thumbelina: I wish I had wings. Prince Cornelius: Maybe someday you will.

Hero: (growls upon seeing Prince Cornelius) Thumbelina: Oh! Oh, no, Hero. See? He's nice. (to Cornelius) Hello. My name is Thumbelina. (curtsies) How do you do, sir? Thank you... thank you for... coming to visit. Prince Cornelius: Oh, no trouble at all. (bows) The pleasure is mine. Hero: (stops growling and falls asleep) Thumbelina: Ooh. Sorry about that. Prince Cornelius: Thumbelina... it's a lovely name. Thumbelina: Thank you. Prince Cornelius: I'm Cornelius. Thumbelina: C... Cornelius. (laughs) Well, that's a funny name! Oh! I mean, I mean it's perfect.

Thumbelina: (not knowing that Cornelius is the prince) Tell me about the fairy court. Is there a prince? Prince Cornelius: Yes. Thumbelina: He must be terribly handsome. Prince Cornelius: Oh, he is. Thumbelina: Strong and brave. Prince Cornelius: None like him. Thumbelina: I'd love to meet the prince. Prince Cornelius: Oh, I'll tell him.
