About this listen

A poor peasant woman wishes for a child. But when a sorceress gives her a brown bulb, it grows a flower - and inside is tiny, perfect Thumbelina! A magical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale, read by Tamsin Greig.

It is super good because it doesn't have scary things in it. I really it because the story is really imaginative and it's so cool how the flower pops up and there is a little girl in it. (my 6 year old daughter's description)

Watched the film as a kid. The story lacks a lot of descriptions and the voice acting is awful

Film is much better

The production is bad. The edits are too close to the speech and it makes the story a little incoherent at times. It’s more an annoyance- so it might just be personal.

A great performance ruined by bad editing
