Thumbelina

I've been taught that in all DECENT opinion writings, one must cite credibility, so here it goes: I am a 20 year old college student and I am doing things worthwhile with my life. I have an extensive background in watching movies like Thumbelina, and I must say that the movie is excellent! Younger viewers need entertainment like this movie to boost self-esteem and give viewers the idea that "nothing is impossible." Had I not watched movies like Thumbelina while growing up, I would be some washed-up zombie with no sense of direction or goals in life. (I suspect that most of these critics with negative views of Thumbelina are washed-up zombies, seeing as how they have nothing better to do than to mock a child's movie and a classic storyline.) When watching movies like this one at the age of 8, I was encouraged to reach for the stars, and other nonsensical clichés. I still despise clichés, but I am happy with where I am going in life. I will admit that there are moments of cheesy dance numbers and slight inaccuracies in the animation of Thumbelina, but, overall, the movie was great. Buy it for your kids, watch it with them and help them grow up to be the humanitarians that you've always dreamed of.
