Can we just talk about this movie for a minute? Everybody hates it because they think it’s just another movie where the girl falls in love with the prince and gets married without even knowing who he is; Thumbelina and Cornelius are the cliche couple who fall in love at first sight. However, this movie is so much more than that. This is a girl who struggles from the very beginning of her movie. She is small, so small that ordinary life tasks are difficult for her. She doesn’t believe that there is anybody else like her; she is isolated and alone. She desperately wishes she was bigger. She wants love. She wants a normal life. Everybody in the movie wants her for one thing: her voice. The toads steal her because they want her to make them rich, the beetle forces her to perform in his show to look good. Even the mole wants to marry her so that she can sing for him and tell him stories. Throughout it all, she is lost and alone. She is called ugly. She is used and manipulated. She is never given a choice. She gives up on herself, and she doesn’t believe that anything is possible. She gives up on everything. This movie is about a girl who doesn’t believe in herself, who has low self confidence, and who doesn’t believe that she is good enough to find love just because she’s different. But when she is with Cornelius, she feels like she belongs. Despite his wings, she is like him. He doesn’t ask anything of her. He sings to her. He never asks her to join, even though he knew she had a good voice. He didn’t use her. He told her she was beautiful, promised to never forget her, and told her that he would be her wings. Suddenly she had a home. Suddenly she could fly. Suddenly her world was filled with sunshine. So yes, this movie is about a couple falling in love without knowing each other, and getting married within days. But it’s also about a girl and a boy, both lost and alone, who meet one another and feel an overwhelming sense of peace. So you can argue all you want that love at first sight doesn’t exist, but that my friends, is true love. This story teaches everyone that it’s okay to be different. That it’s okay to feel alone. But even if that’s the case, it teaches you that after the rain goes, there are rainbows. And that yours will come soon.
