hyped garbage

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

When you're going to see a movie with more than 20 years you can't expect something like Shrek or even Evangelion, because more than the human movies, the animation had improved their quality like the "baby boom" - it was hardly the same for years and then it grows up with the same steps as technology, along together, and I'm thinking that it will continue to surprises everybody for years on. Thumbelina was probably a great movie in his time, and by now, if you can upgrade your mind and think that you're seeing an early 80s animation, you'll enjoy it so much, because it's a great fairy tale, with some amazing story and characters that everyone in your family will enjoy and probably never forgets the little girl that uses to sleep in a nut bed... It is especially indicated for little girls, i guess, but stills a all family movie, that can surprises and probably, if you're sensitive, will make you drop a tear of joy when it ends... It can't be a must see, but it can be a good choice for a family afternoon... I enjoyed it!
