Disney can steal this idea from me for their next feature
Ok, I would like to see what Disney would do with Thumbilina. Yes, I know Don Bluth already beat them to it, but have you seen the Nostalgia Chick's review of it.
Here's how you can do it Disney:
1. Make Thumbilina a poc, make her Indian.
2. She can be interested in science and how things work.
3. She has boatload of energy.
4. She can make mundane objects into things that can help. She and Tinkerbell can be galpals.
5. She is not fainty and willowy, but nose to the grindstone, and just ignores the frog and the beetle who say that she is beautiful or ugly. When she gets to the mole, instead of marriage, it is the chance to learn more and have a greater access to knowledge, but it's knowledge through the filter of the mole, who is claiming that there are no fairies.
6. Thumbilina finds the fairies, they welcome her and tell her she is not a fairy. But the fairy princess makes friends with her, comes with Thumbilina back to her mother's home.
