00:00Once upon a time, there lived a married couple.
00:06Although they really wanted to have a baby, well for them it just wasn't possible.
00:12One day his wife went to the old witch and told her she wanted a baby.
00:17Don't be sad my dear girl.
00:20Where there's a will, there's a way.
00:22Take this seed and plant it in a pot and wait and see.
00:28You'll be surprised.
00:31His wife was very happy.
00:33She thanked her with joy.
00:35In return for her amazing favor, she gave the witch some money.
00:40Later on, she went straight home and planted the seed in a pot.
00:44With great patience, she began to wait near the pot.
00:48Soon later, a big tulip-like flower began to blossom.
00:54Right that moment, she thought to herself,
00:57What a beautiful flower!
01:00With its leaves still unfolded, she reached over and kissed it.
01:04Short after, the leaves began to unfold.
01:10In the flower was a child sitting down.
01:14With great confusion, the lady picked up the tiny girl in her hand.
01:19What a tiny little child you are!
01:23Your name should be Thumbelina.
01:27The lady made Thumbelina's crib out of a walnut shell,
01:31her mattress from violet leaves and her blanket from rose petals.
01:36Thumbelina managed to adapt to her new life with ease.
01:41At night time, she would sleep in her bed that was made just for her.
01:46And during the day, she would play on the table and sing songs.
01:50One night, while she was sleeping in her bed,
01:53an ugly frog appeared from the window.
01:57It saw the little girl sleeping in her walnut shell.
02:04Oh my, what a tiny and beautiful girl you are.
02:08You'd make a great friend to my son.
02:11As fast as it could, the frog grabbed the walnut shell and went out the window.
02:16Right near the house was a swamp.
02:19The house in which the ugly frog and his son lived in was right here.
02:24The son of the ugly frog was just as ugly as his father.
02:28When he saw the tiny girl his father had brang him,
02:32he croaked at the top of his lungs.
02:34Ribbit! Ribbit!
02:36Stop croaking. You're going to wake the girl up.
02:39If she wakes up, she will run away in fear. Ribbit!
02:43The father and son decided to make the little girl a place where she could stay.
02:48Father Frog had a great idea.
02:52Let's place the little girl on one of the lilies over at the stream.
02:56Being surrounded with all that water, it will be impossible for her to get away.
03:03Father Frog took Thumbelina with her crib and placed it on one of the lilies.
03:11In the morning, with the sparkling light of the sun, Thumbelina woke up.
03:16When she noticed she wasn't at home and saw that she was surrounded in water,
03:21in fear she began to cry.
03:25Where am I?
03:29Father and Son Frog went over to get Thumbelina.
03:34Here's your new friend. I'm preparing a great new home for you.
03:38It will be in the very deep waters of the swamp.
03:42Father and Son took Thumbelina's crib, made from a walnut shell,
03:47and swam off leaving her right there on the leaf.
03:51At that very moment, some red fish were swimming along
03:55and they overheard what the ugly frog was saying.
03:59They couldn't stand the idea of an ugly swamp frog upsetting such a beautiful girl such as Thumbelina.
04:07Don't you worry, little girl. We are going to save you.
04:11All together, they chewed on the stem of the lily where she was sitting on and they broke it.
04:18All alone now, the leaf got caught in a rip current and managed to get away.
04:24Making way on the current in her green leaf left all the birds with great admiration.
04:32How beautiful and tiny she is!
04:36As she was on her way, she passed a rather big maybug.
04:41He grabbed her as fast as he could and landed on a tree.
04:47Finding herself on a tree, Thumbelina was very frightened.
04:51What type of a bug are you and why did you bring me here?
04:55I'm a maybug and I have never seen a bug such as yourself before,
04:59so I wanted my friends to see you.
05:02Later on, all the other maybugs sitting on the same tree came around to visit Thumbelina.
05:08Trying hard not to show it, all the maybugs were jealous of her amazing beauty.
05:16You're a funny creature.
05:18How rickety! It doesn't even have wings.
05:21How ugly! You can barely look at her face.
05:25You are free to go.
05:27How ugly! You can barely look at her face.
05:31You are free to go wherever you want.
05:33We don't want such an ugly thing being near us.
05:37Thumbelina spent the whole summer all by herself.
05:41She overcame her hunger and thirst by drinking the water of the flowers.
05:48A long time passed and the weather began to cool.
05:52Because of her summer clothes, she got cold.
05:58A field appeared from afar.
06:00The field was covered in straw.
06:03After a long walk, Thumbelina made it to the field.
06:10Under the straw, she managed to find a field rat's home.
06:17With a chance of finding some food,
06:20Thumbelina knocked on his door and asked for some barley.
06:25A kind-hearted field rat took her in.
06:28She got in that instant and ate up all the food the rat had offered.
06:34The field rat really liked Thumbelina.
06:38If you tell me a story every day,
06:40I will allow you to stay with me to the end of winter.
06:45With great satisfaction, Thumbelina accepted her offer.
06:49Today my neighbor will come by.
06:51He is in better condition than me.
06:53If you go with him, you will be very comfortable.
06:56But keep in mind, he has very bad eyesight.
06:59You will need to tell your best fairy tales and occupy him forever.
07:05A little while later, with his velvet fur on his back, appeared a mole.
07:12Thumbelina wasn't very fond with the mole,
07:15but she didn't want to disappoint him,
07:17so she agreed to sing a song for him.
07:20Fly, fly, ladybug, wedding will be tomorrow.
07:24Mommy will buy you new shoes and clothes tomorrow.
07:29Even though he had poor eyesight,
07:31the mole realized he liked Thumbelina very much
07:34and decided to take her home.
07:36I managed to come all this way by digging a hole and making a tunnel.
07:40If you like, we can go the same way and I can show you my house.
07:46Thumbelina was hesitant to go.
07:49Seeing the rat agreeing, Thumbelina accepted his offer.
07:54They managed to make their way.
07:57During this time, they saw a swallow lying down on the ground
08:01with its wings on its side
08:03and its head and feet tucked under its feathers.
08:07This bird wasn't here when I was coming.
08:09It must have just fallen through the hole.
08:13Thumbelina thought about the birds in the forest
08:16and remembered them chirping above her.
08:19She couldn't handle the sight of them being in this state
08:23and was very sad.
08:25Without the field rat or the mole seeing,
08:27she turned to the swallow and gave it a kiss.
08:31This bird could be one of the birds that was chirping during summertime.
08:35If that's so, then I owe him a lot.
08:39Come on, Thumbelina, we are waiting for you.
08:42She couldn't sleep that night.
08:44She knitted a quilt with the straw,
08:47went to the corridor and covered the swallow.
08:50She wet the mint leaf she used as a blanket
08:53and placed it over its head.
08:55Please be better soon, sweet little bird.
08:59The following day, Thumbelina went over to see the swallow
09:02and saw that its eyes were open.
09:04Hmm, I don't know how that happened.
09:08Its eyes were open.
09:11I don't know how to thank you.
09:13You took such good care of me.
09:15Now I will recover in no time.
09:18Once I have totally recovered,
09:20I will be able to go next to my friends in warmer countries.
09:24It's very cold outside.
09:26You should rest in your warm bed and recover at once.
09:30After Thumbelina was done giving advice to the swallow,
09:33she brought some water with the help of a flower petal
09:36and helped her drink it.
09:38And later on listened to how she broke her wings
09:41smashing into the bushes.
09:43The wounded swallow wasn't as fast as her friends.
09:47She was tired and so she fell.
09:50At last spring had sprung
09:52and the sun began to warm the land once again.
09:57The swallow knew that it was time to say goodbye to Thumbelina.
10:01Would you like to come to the forest with me?
10:05I would have liked to come with you,
10:07but my friend the field rat would be very sad.
10:09I can't leave her.
10:12In that case, farewell Thumbelina.
10:15Maybe someday we will meet again.
10:18With teary eyes Thumbelina watched the swallow fly away.
10:25With summer ahead, Thumbelina's worries began to arise.
10:30It is summer now.
10:32Now that the velvet-furred mole would like to marry you,
10:35we should get some beautiful clothes together.
10:40When winter is here,
10:42be ready to live with me underground in the soil, Thumbelina.
10:47Before Thumbelina began her life underground
10:50where it was cold and dark,
10:52she went outside for the last time to see the sun.
10:56Just as she was about to enter,
10:58right above her head she heard a bird.
11:02When she turned her head up to have a look,
11:04she saw her most loved swallow.
11:08Thumbelina told the swallow that she was being forced to marry the mole
11:11and that she had to live underground where there was no sunlight.
11:16Winter is nearly here.
11:18We are preparing to go to warmer countries.
11:21Please come with us. You've saved my life.
11:25I would like to pay you back.
11:29This time Thumbelina accepted the swallow's offer.
11:32And off they went.
11:34Thumbelina and the swallow flew away over the forests,
11:37seas and the mountains covered in snow.
11:41Later the two friends arrived at warmer countries.
11:45These places were amazing.
11:48The sun was brighter and the sky was shimmering.
11:53This is my home.
11:55Please pick the best flower for yourself.
11:58This is beautiful.
12:01The swallow placed Thumbelina in a beautiful flower.
12:04Amongst all this beauty, Thumbelina was very happy.
12:08Sitting in her flower and looking at it in detail,
12:11she was mesmerized.
12:13In the flower sat a tiny man as shiny as glass.
12:17This man was the fairy of this flower.
12:21Every flower had its own fairy.
12:25He was as tall as a finger.
12:28He had shiny wings on his shoulders
12:31and a golden crown on his head.
12:37It was the first time the handsome fairy
12:39had seen a beautiful girl the same size as he was.
12:50What's your name, beautiful girl?
12:52My name is Thumbelina.
12:55The fairy took his crown off his head
12:57and placed it on Thumbelina's head.
13:00If you marry me, you will be the queen
13:02amongst all these flowers.
13:04You will live a very happy life.
13:07After having lived such cruelty,
13:09being in such a beautiful environment,
13:11Thumbelina was very happy to hear
13:13such a great proposal from the very handsome fairy.
13:18The fairy held Thumbelina's hand
13:20and right at that moment
13:22two wings appeared on Thumbelina's shoulders.
13:29Thumbelina was now the fairy queen.
13:33Together they lived a long and happy life.
