We got the VHS from Blockbuster when I was about 4 and when the sugar fairy melted I had an absolute meltdown to the point my parents had to pause the movie until the next day. They still tease me with "I don't want her to marry the frog!"
I used to watch this so much when i was in kindergarten with my younger brothers and mom on dvd, this was in like 2008-2009. Im 20 now and its so crazy to me because it still feels like it was just yesterday after rediscovering it after so long.
its so nice seeing recent comments from ppl with their childhood's memories about this movie.my dad got it for me growing up and i always thought it was a fever dream lol.💖💖
We got this for 1$ at a dollar store back in the mid 90s and me and my siblings watched this more than any Disney movie we had. We still quote this and bring up the songs. Funny enough “the bullets” who made all these songs did other cheap anime movies that we also enjoyed like Serendippity: the pink dragon 😂😂 we were so lame haha
This movie was such a fever dream, I remember watching it when i was around 4 or 5 sitting in my living room. Ngl, i thought it as about the Wizard of Oz because of the red shoes the witch gave her. 😂
Yoooo! My mom's friend use to have this on DVD! I remember seeing the opening credits and that's all. I thiight this was a fever dream cause no one else knew what the heck i was talking about and they didnt even recognize the song either. I legit thought that i made the entire thing up. Guess not! WHOSE CRAZY NOW!!!????
After all these years. I've finally found it! I used to watch this all throughout my childhood, so much that I wore out the VHS tape! Lol. Thanks so much for posting! So much nostalgia!
Fun fact: This didn't start out as actual movie, It started out as a part by part tv anime series that ran for a total of 26 episodes on TV tokyo. In 1993 it was made into a movie on VHS and in 2006 was distrubted by dvd. You the lucky viewer get skip the waiting game and watch it like a movie on RUclips. Shame on you. (I'm joking).
@@threadmancer8847 Fun fact: You clearly missed the part where I was being playful. Go enjoy whatever version you want of thumbelina I never said you couldn't.
You edited your original comment after I replied to make your tone clearer. My reply was with an eye-roll at the most, not exactly yelling over here. It's really not that deep. You seem to also enjoy arguing with strangers on the internet, so you can't exactly judge me for picking a bad anime purist take and running with it.
@@threadmancer8847 I like arguing? For someone who says its not that deep you sure like writing paragraphs.I changed my comments tone because I don't want anymore idiots like you making stupid comments like this.
@@threadmancer8847 Go get special help dude. I never made a take and your the only one making yap session paragraphs over a meme comment. Get help. Go look up the actual definition of anime purist while you at it too.
i got this movie as a christmas present from my grandma as a kid who probably got it from a flea market or a $1 movie bin from a supermarket. us kids were obsessssed with it cause we thought the voice was so funny. to this day the only anime ive watched
SO insane how literally EVERYONE has the same experience with this movie, I TOO HAVE BEEN DESCRIBING THIS MOVIE TO EVERYONE IVE EVER MET FOR YEARS AND NOBODY EVER KNOWS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YEARS AND I FINALLY FOUND IT OMG
I had this movie on DVD and would ALWAYS watch it on my portable DVD player on long car trips/airplane flights, and I could always vividly remember what the characters looked and sounded like (including the more awkwardly-dubbed-over parts, or times the voices/sounds were cut, looped, or reused.) I could also remember the chorus of the main theme, but not the name of the actual movie. There are COUNTLESS movie adaptations of the Thumbelina story, many of which I also grew up loving. So imagine how hard it was to find THIS specific adaptation lol! I finally searched the lyrics to the themesong and finally found the name, and here we are. THANK YOU for bringing back a slice of childhood nostalgia!!!
Back when Blockbuster was a thing, they jebaited me with this film lol I originally wanted to rent Don Bluth's Thumbelina movie; the cover was there so I thought I got it, but when I put it in the VCR, I got an anime version of Thumbelina (which at the time, I didn't know what anime was). I was pissed off at first, but I gave the movie a shot; however, I would get to a certain point then stop watching it. After so many years, I finally watched the whole thing. ^^ It does bring back nostalgic memories.
Wow, same here. blockbuster is how I found out about this movie as a lad. It's funny how often I've thought about this movie since I've watched it even all these years later lol
Lyrics She was naughty but nice And she got a big surprise Cause all of sudden She was tiny as a button Smaller than a thumb no bigger than a crumb Oh , what will become of Thumbelina , thumbelina You won't believe it Til you've seen pretty little dreamer thumbelina She came on like a pret And suddenly just like that She could sit in a mitten She was smaller than a kitten Adventure and fun Thrills by the ton Oh , what will become of Thumbelina You won't believe it Til you've seen The pretty little dreamer Thumbelina Pretty little dreamer Thumbelina
Fvck you I haven't seen this movie in forever and I barely even remember the FVCKING ENDING AND YOU FVCKING RUIN IT!!!?????!!!!!!!!!!!🤯🤬🤬🤬🖕😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I remember this movie as a child, not knowing it was an anime because it was dubbed in Spanish so naturally I thought it was a Mexican production. Had a very hard time finding it. It was only after a recent conversation with my family that I was able to confirm that this movie did indeed exist and I'm glad it did. BTW I was 3 when I watched this movie in 1994 so I have a very long photo memory
OMG I finally found this movie been searching for it. This is one of the movies that has been stuck in my mind I remembering seeing it as kid. Parts of it traumatized me as a kid 😂 that part where she is screaming mother and her mother not waking up, the frog trying to marry her to their son and the witch.
Yup. My grandma still has the VHS, I just wanted to watch it since it's hard to watch VHS now since we don't have as many ways to watch it now when their players break
I’ve been trying to find this for YEARS.. YEARS!!! I don’t remember much about it just the theme song and the little friend she has I’ve been thinking about it randomly for so long 🥲 I knew the other version wasn’t the one I remembered
Now this is something I actually remember, tho it was a very long time ago, this one has always been stuck in my mind for some reason alongside another animation that was released by digiview, though I’m sure some have different experiences
When Cure Queen Felice promised Lily that they will be together forever in Fairyland she gave her a magical emerald that will be a symbol of her promise
@@maleighlovesbroadway Apparently the original Japanese version of the film (which was originally a tv series) it showed Maya doing way worse stuff (like kicking a ball into a kid’s face and refusing to apologize)
So what's the moral of the story? I loved the story line of maya learning friendship and becoming unselfish. Noble is my favorite character ⭐. But what was the point of the movie? * I know a young lady named Mya. Her birthday is the same week as mine. 😅
I had a long and very difficult day. remembered this gem all this time and swore I’d save it for a good watch on a rainy day. nice revisit, rip Charlie, we’ll miss you
I FINALLY found this movie after so many years looking for it. I’m 27 years old and took me over 20 years to find this movie. Last time I saw it was when I was seven!
![Lets redesign Marinette!! [this took 3 years to make]](/img/1.gif)
I’ve looked through so many versions to find this one, I use to love this movie growing up everyone thinks I made it up I swear lol
ikr, i found the movie case with no disc so I at least knew it was real! lmao
Same!!!
Is this the best version?
@@angelicadawn7672 its my favorite version too. I watched the VHS so many times it broke.
I just found this shitttttttt let’s goooooo
I've tried to remember this movie for YEARS!! I could only ever find the other versions of thumbelina. This nostalgia is unreal 😩
Same! Looked everywhere for that. I was beginning to think I dreamed it. It’s such a bizarre movie
Omg this movie used to scare me as a child!!!!… the mom not waking up, and the frogs being scary kidnappers were too much for me 😅😅
For me it was the rat lol
Thought I was the only one Lol The evil witch Cassandra was scary af to me and the part where the mom wasn’t waking up scared me too
Same😫😫😫
We got the VHS from Blockbuster when I was about 4 and when the sugar fairy melted I had an absolute meltdown to the point my parents had to pause the movie until the next day. They still tease me with "I don't want her to marry the frog!"
LITERALLY lol
I used to own the dvd as a kid and watched it almost every day. Glad I found it here.
Although now I realise the voice acting is odd, but hey, nostalgia.
God, I use to watch this as a kid. Good ol memories
me too.
Same ❤❤❤
I used to watch this so much when i was in kindergarten with my younger brothers and mom on dvd, this was in like 2008-2009. Im 20 now and its so crazy to me because it still feels like it was just yesterday after rediscovering it after so long.
Sameeeeee!!
me too!! 😭 i grew up with this on VHS and i’m turning 20 later this year. can’t believe other people watched it too
Cheers to one of the last generations to remember actually using VHS tapes!
Yeah me and my twin got this from our teacher and my siblings and I would crowd around this karaoke machine we had in that time
its so nice seeing recent comments from ppl with their childhood's memories about this movie.my dad got it for me growing up and i always thought it was a fever dream lol.💖💖
We got this for 1$ at a dollar store back in the mid 90s and me and my siblings watched this more than any Disney movie we had. We still quote this and bring up the songs. Funny enough “the bullets” who made all these songs did other cheap anime movies that we also enjoyed like Serendippity: the pink dragon 😂😂 we were so lame haha
NO YOU WERENT!!!
it's not Disney movie it's anime from Japan
Best $1 ever spent probably
I’m pretty sure I got this movie from Goodwill in a mislabeled case
You wasn't lame! only LEGENDS 🤌🏾 know about this version of thumbelina ❤😊
Cassandra is T-Posing to assert dominance
This made me laugh so damn hard😂
This movie was such a fever dream, I remember watching it when i was around 4 or 5 sitting in my living room. Ngl, i thought it as about the Wizard of Oz because of the red shoes the witch gave her. 😂
Makes sense lol. Honestly this is more wizard of oz than thumbelina
We have a BUNCH of vhs tapes and this was one of them and I forgot about it
Me too
OMG!! i used to have this when i was a kid i watched it everyday!!!
Yoooo! My mom's friend use to have this on DVD! I remember seeing the opening credits and that's all. I thiight this was a fever dream cause no one else knew what the heck i was talking about and they didnt even recognize the song either.
I legit thought that i made the entire thing up. Guess not!
WHOSE CRAZY NOW!!!????
You understand how difficult it was to track this down
I loved this movie! It was one of our vhs’s in our small collection
I've been watching Ghibli movies until I watched Arrietty and just reminded me of thumbelina. Gosh! I can't believe for so many years. Hahahaha
May I know where can I watch the full movie of Arietty? Is there the one in Japanese dubbed with English subtitles?
@@NurulLim1 you mean English dubbed?
If I'm not mistaken, this was originally an entire anime series that was edited down into an hour long video for release on the American market
Yeah that makes more sense now lol
Good cause I can’t imagine this being a series
OMG this voice cast is nails on a chalkboard!
HOOOPPPYYYYY
😂
It is but that’s early 90s dub anime for ya
@@StrawberryAuroraMain character is awful
@@trevski82 yeah that's the whole point of the movie XD
I remember when I used to think Noble was a girl-
They're not?
After all these years. I've finally found it! I used to watch this all throughout my childhood, so much that I wore out the VHS tape! Lol. Thanks so much for posting! So much nostalgia!
I used to love this movie I think all movie reactions youtubers should see this
Ill always adore this movie. Legit think about it at random all the time.

the voice is the worst lol
@@MintyMelxEditzVoice dubs in the 90s were very different back then.
Still love this movie . Brings back childhood memories 🥹❤️
i got this movie as a christmas present from my grandma as a kid who probably got it from a flea market or a $1 movie bin from a supermarket. us kids were obsessssed with it cause we thought the voice was so funny. to this day the only anime ive watched
This is my favorite version of Thumbelina. I’m pretty sure I had it on vhs as a little kid.
I can’t believe I took this seriously as a kid
How? You believe that this is real ?
I might've been 8 years old when I got this on VHS.. better days.
I used to have this on VHS tape back then
This movie was like a fever dream😭🤍
SO insane how literally EVERYONE has the same experience with this movie, I TOO HAVE BEEN DESCRIBING THIS MOVIE TO EVERYONE IVE EVER MET FOR YEARS AND NOBODY EVER KNOWS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YEARS AND I FINALLY FOUND IT OMG
Im pretty sure my mom and grandma bought me this version to send a message...
This movie was so creepy to me when I was a kid lol still creepy to me now and I’m 32 😂
Still have the cd for this
so many memories I think I remember watching this in like 4th or 5th grade
I had this movie on DVD and would ALWAYS watch it on my portable DVD player on long car trips/airplane flights, and I could always vividly remember what the characters looked and sounded like (including the more awkwardly-dubbed-over parts, or times the voices/sounds were cut, looped, or reused.)

Kym I use to watch it with my little sister. It was one of my favorite. 😊
i’ve been looking for this movie everywhere my grandma had the DVD and i remember loving it but i couldn’t NEVER find ut
Lyrics
She was naughty but nice
And she got a big surprise
Cause all of sudden
She was tiny as a button
Smaller than a thumb
no bigger than a crumb
Oh , what will become of
Thumbelina , thumbelina
You won't believe it
Til you've seen pretty little
dreamer thumbelina
She came on like a pret
And suddenly just like that
She could sit in a mitten
She was smaller than a kitten
Adventure and fun
Thrills by the ton
Oh , what will become of
Thumbelina
You won't believe it
Til you've seen
The pretty little dreamer
Thumbelina
Pretty little dreamer
Thumbelina
Cassandra was a bad witch at first, but later, it turns out that she was good all along. She was testing Maya's character.
Fvck you I haven't seen this movie in forever and I barely even remember the FVCKING ENDING AND YOU FVCKING RUIN IT!!!?????!!!!!!!!!!!🤯🤬🤬🤬🖕😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
omg i think about the cursed strawberries all the time, i cant believe this movie actually exisits
I always wanted the mushroom soup.
I remember this movie as a child, not knowing it was an anime because it was dubbed in Spanish so naturally I thought it was a Mexican production. Had a very hard time finding it. It was only after a recent conversation with my family that I was able to confirm that this movie did indeed exist and I'm glad it did.

Memories 😌
Old memories
My childhood trauma
OMG I finally found this movie been searching for it. This is one of the movies that has been stuck in my mind I remembering seeing it as kid. Parts of it traumatized me as a kid 😂 that part where she is screaming mother and her mother not waking up, the frog trying to marry her to their son and the witch.
CD'si vardı rahmetli babam almıştı, cdyi yıllardır bulamadım ama youtube'da karşıma çıkması inanılmaz oldu. Teşekkürler, thank you so much 🙏
It’s giving Thumbelina, Alice in wonderland, and the wizard of oz

So who remembers renting this from block Buster?
all this was a huge scare her straight and put a girl endanger to change her.
this isn't the first time
Goodwill ahh movie 😭🙏
😂 who else had the VHS. Aaahhh,yes the good ol overused rewind button ❤😂
Yup. My grandma still has the VHS, I just wanted to watch it since it's hard to watch VHS now since we don't have as many ways to watch it now when their players break
I’ve been trying to find this for YEARS.. YEARS!!! I don’t remember much about it just the theme song and the little friend she has I’ve been thinking about it randomly for so long 🥲 I knew the other version wasn’t the one I remembered
I almost forgot this existed. I remember the scene with Noble melting.
I was 5 years old when I watched this 😭 now I'm 30
I love this MOVIE OMGG
Noble best boi 👾👾👾
Now this is something I actually remember, tho it was a very long time ago, this one has always been stuck in my mind for some reason alongside another animation that was released by digiview, though I’m sure some have different experiences
Yeah, this definetly wasn't a fever dream I had this one time.
I used to watch this at my grandmas house, I think someone had a vhs tape of it or recorded and when I couldn’t find the tape one day I was sad
I was scared shitless of the Witch as a child 😂
When Cure Queen Felice promised Lily that they will be together forever in Fairyland she gave her a magical emerald that will be a symbol of her promise
oh my god i used to watch this has little boy it made me read fairy tales all by myself
does anyone else remember the thumbelina , little mermaid , pied piper , hansel and gretel cd?
Omg memories
Me too
All villains should be destroyed with extreme predejudice #destoryallvillains
Hi 🤔
have you take attention at 05:25 the fireplace is blazing and outside it's seems to me a lovely day ! ?
13:01 13:12 Maya's feet🦶🏻🦶🏻🧚🏻♀👣
Who all came here because of the clip starting around 44:00?
Let the bad guy fall
Does anyone know where I can find this in Spanish
44:58 Im sorry but why did this remind me of verbalase
Does anyone know what year this movie is?
1992
Oh what is it a frog
Ahh! Oh a frog! Oh Maya
You know I hate frogs
Get that thing out of here
Why are the comments open lol most stuff tagged kids contend don’t allow this
What awful voice acting lol
If there was a re-dub of this movie, I’d a choose Grey Griffin to do Mya.
Pretty sure these guys still dub a fuckton of stuff
It’s a 20 or so year old movie, I think the audio can be forgiven lol
Please don't say that, that's not nice. I believe their voice acting were very good.
@@spleens4200idk even as a kid in the 90s I thought it was weird
So she basically had a dmt trip and came back
I've finally found it
The fever dream from my childhood ❤ awe I loved this movie so much
Wore out my VHS copy of this as a kid🥲
Weird that they refer to Maya as a “problem child” even though what they showed barely constitutes being called that
Agreed, what's wrong with a kid going out and catching some froggies?
@@maleighlovesbroadway Apparently the original Japanese version of the film (which was originally a tv series) it showed Maya doing way worse stuff (like kicking a ball into a kid’s face and refusing to apologize)

@@Moomsis the original version on yt somewhere?
I can’t believe this is 30 years old now.
Same I also can’t believe I’m 30 years old now 😂😂😂
I can't believe it's only 30 years old now.
I had a long and very difficult day. remembered this gem all this time and swore I’d save it for a good watch on a rainy day. nice revisit, rip Charlie, we’ll miss you
The songs are fire
Cute and pretty movie, but what in the world is going on with Maya's voice. How and why and who and what. Why does she sound like that
40:51 why am i suddenly stanning this frog?
If she gets hungry enough I'm sure she'll eat those strawberries
We'll put her in the hibernation room for a while and give her time to think about things
There
I FINALLY found this movie after so many years looking for it. I’m 27 years old and took me over 20 years to find this movie. Last time I saw it was when I was seven!
This is actually a 26 episode series.
Red shoes please help me
Mary Jane's!
I thought noble was a girl
I'm so glad I'm not crazy, I thought this was a fever dream 😂😂
