A long time ago in Denmark a childless couple, through a witch's spell, became blessed with a radiantly beautiful girl. She was no bigger than a thumb, so she was called Thumbelina. Snatched from her family by an ugly toad who wanted to marry her, Thumbelina escapes, befriending various creatures of the forest. Ultimately, she meets the king of the flower angels, with whom she finds happiness forever.
