JACQUIMO [SINGING]: La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
If you follow your heart
Ho, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
When you follow your heart
Hello. Welcome to Paris, city of love.
Who am I? I am Jacquimo...
...swallow extraordinaire and lover of beautiful things.
You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
You're sure to fly on magical wings
When you follow your heart
Oh, that is very nice, n'est-ce pas? And I like what it is saying.
It is saying, "Follow your heart and nothing is impossible!"
[LAUGHING]
You're sure to do impossible things
Ha, ha! I love the sound of my voice!
[KISSES]
When you follow your heart
When you follow
Your heart
I love great romances.
I myself am a swallow of great passion.
[CHUCKLES]
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
These are stories about people with impossible problems.
Samson loved Delilah. Oh, that was really impossible.
Romeo et Juliet, oh, impossible.
[CHUCKLES]
But the most impossible of all the stories is impossibly small.
The story of Thumbelina.
Once upon a time, there was a lonely woman...
...who longed to have a child to call her own.
One day she paid a visit to a good witch...
...who gave her a tiny barleycorn.
"Plant it in a flowerpot," she says, "and see what happens."
The woman did as she was told...
...and by and by it began growing.
Until at last....
Oh, what a pretty flower!
[YAWNS]
Hello, Mother.
I will call you "Thumbelina."
JACQUIMO: Thumbelina.
But can you imagine the troubles for a little girl...
...no bigger than your thumb, hmm?
[SINGING] Who is the girl no bigger Than a bumblebee?
Who is the angel With a funny name?
[THUMBELINA SCREAMS]
We don't know where she's from Or how she came to be
But happy was the day she came
Thumbelina
She's a funny little squirt
Thumbelina
Tiny angel in a skirt
Thumbelina
First she's mending, then baking
Pretending, she's making things up
Thumbelina
[HENS CLUCKING]
Who would believe the wonder Of the world I see?
Each little minute brings a new surprise
There's only one peculiar thing That bothers me
Seems I'm the only one my size
ALL: Thumbelina
GOAT: Think of all you'll save on meals
ALL: Thumbelina
HEN: Maybe if you had high heels
ALL: Thumbelina
If you stay here forever
We know that we'll never be glum
GOAT: By gum
Thumbelina
She is always in the thick
Thumbelina
But I get out in the nick
Thumbelina
Fortune sometimes Has tricked us
But this time it's picked us
Oh, a plum's so big ALL: A plum
And a fig's so big
And they call it a twig But a twig's so big
It's a great big world
Thumbelina
That's me!
[GIGGLES]
Now, here's a story about the noble dog...
...who saved the king from the wicked wizard.
Once upon a time-- THUMBELINA: Oh, Mother, please.
Are there any stories about little people?
Well, as a matter of fact there are, Thumbelina. Look.
[THUMBELINA SCREAMS]
[GASPS]
They are little, just like me.
But what are those? They're wings, Thumbelina.
These are fairies, and fairies have wings so they can fly.
Mother, have you ever seen a fairy?
MOTHER: Well, I thought I did once.
Really? MOTHER: Yes.
And here, the fairy prince and princess are having a wedding.
And they live happily ever after.
Oh, usually, dear.
THUMBELINA: Hmm. I suppose it works best...
...if two people are about the same size.
Yes, of course.
Yes....
Well, that's not fair.
I must be the only little person in the whole world.
I wish I were big. Oh, no, Thumbelina. No.
Don't ever wish to be anything but what you are.
[BARKING AND PANTING]
MOTHER: Bedtime, my dear.
It's been a long day.
You must go to sleep now.
Sleep tight.
Mother? Mm-hm?
Would you please leave the book open?
Of course, dear.
THUMBELINA: I wanna look at the pictures while I go to sleep.
MOTHER: There. Good night, Mother.
Good night, Thumbelina.
You take good care of her, Hero.
[HERO BARKING]
Hmm.
[SINGING] I know there's someone
Somewhere
Someone
Who's sure to find me
Soon
After the rain goes
There are rainbows
I'll find my rainbow
Soon
Soon it won't be just pretend
Soon a happy ending
Love, can you hear me?
If you're near me
Sing your song
Sure and strong
And soon
I wonder if there really are such things as fairies.
Hmm.
Oh, my dear. Don't look now, dear husband...
...but our son is missing again. So he is.
I think he feels a bit silly, riding that white butterfly we gave him.
Why should he feel silly?
It makes the wrong impression on the young ladies.
What about the impression on the court?
Colbert, it is the autumn today and we've begun the golding of the leaves.
He should be here.
Tabitha. He'll hurt himself.
I hope he's not out buzzing the vales on that wretched bee.
He is the crown prince, for heaven's sake.
[COLBERT CHUCKLES]
COLBERT: Tabitha, dear, have you forgotten what it's like to be 16?
CORNELIUS: Whoa.
Oh! Hello! What a beautiful voice.
I wonder who she is.
Stay here, boy. I'll check this out.
[THUMBELINA HUMMING "SOON"]
Oh. You have to go now? I see.
You are a wonderful dancer.
Will I ever see you again?
[THUMBELINA CONTINUES HUMMING]
[CHUCKLES]
May I cut in?
Ah! No. Wait, wait. Come back.
I apologize.
I didn't mean to frighten you.
Tsk-tsk-tsk.
There. See? No more sword.
Now, will you come out?
Ah.
Wait a minute. What are you staring at?
Well, say something, will you?
You're.... Oh!
You're one of them. I beg your pardon?
I thought I was the only one my size in the whole world.
[HERO SNARLING]
Hero, no. No, he's a friend. Look.
Hello, my name is Thumbelina. How do you do, sir?
Uh, thank you for coming to visit.
Uh.... Oh. Oh.
No trouble at all. The pleasure is mine.

Yes. He must be terribly handsome.
He is. Strong and brave.
None like him. I would love to meet the prince.
I'll tell him. Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
[BUZZING]
What was that? Oh.
That's Buzzby, my bumble. I left him on the sill.
He doesn't like staying in one place too long.
Why didn't you say something?
Come on!
[BUZZBY BUZZES]
Oh, my!

THUMBELINA: Help! Whoa! Help?
Who is saying "help"? THUMBELINA: Mr. Bird, over here.
Oh! Little one, are you having a bad day?
I was sleeping on the windowsill, waiting for Prince Cornelius to come.
He said he'd come because he loves me and--
He loves you? Yes.
Congratulations! Thanks. But, well....
But I was stolen away by Mrs. Toad...
...who says I have to marry her son.
A toad? That is a very bad day, Mademoiselle...?
Thumbelina. Thumbelina, I am Jacquimo.
How can I be of service to you?
Well, I must get off this lily pad...
...but that's impossible.
Ha-ha-ha! Nothing is impossible.
Voilá! Oh, my. Well, that was easy.
Now if I can just reach the shore before those awful toads come back.
Do you mean if you can reach the shore before you go over the waterfall?
What waterfall? That one!
Is it bad?
[JACQUIMO YELLING]
I am slipping!

Look, Mama, she's waking up.
JACQUIMO: Are you feeling better, little one?
Yes, I think so.
Who are you?
Thumbelina, these are the jitterbugs.
The jitterbugs? How do you do?
Are you really gonna marry the fairy prince?
If he asks me. He will call for me at my house.
That's why I wanna go home. Besides, mother will be terribly worried.
If only I could find my way home. We'll help you, Thumbelina.
Nobody will hurt you. Not with us on the job, right?
JITTERBUG: Right. You are all very brave. Thank you.
But I'm afraid I'll never see my home again.
Oh. Do you love the prince?
Yes.
Then follow your heart. It will lead you home.
Now, where does the prince live?
He lives in the Vale of the Fairies. But I don't know where that is either.
Do not worry. I, Jacquimo, will find it and bring him home to you.
[JACQUIMO CHUCKLES]
It's impossible.
Impossible? Nothing is impossible.
[SINGING] You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
Ha, ha!
Your dreams will fly on magical wings
When you follow your heart
If you have to journey far Here's a little trick
You don't need a guiding star Trust your ticker, get there quicker
Ha, ha!
You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
Come on, Thumbelina! You are going home!
Your mother is waiting! Get up, get up!
You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
Your dreams will fly on magical wings
JACQUIMO: Sing, my little chickadees!
When you follow your heart
North or south or east or west Where to point your shoes?
Which direction is the best?
If the choosing gets confusing Maybe it's the math you're using
You don't need a chart to guide you Close your eyes and look inside you
Ha, ha!
You're sure to do impossible things
If you know where to start
Ha, ha!
Your dreams will fly on magical wings
When you follow
Just trust the swallow
And always follow
Your heart
Bon voyage, Thumbelina! Never fear, I will find the prince.
Goodbye!
He's wonderful. And I'm going home.
Cornelius, my sunshine, first you buzzed in here on that wretched thing...
...and announced before the court that you'd found the girl of your dreams.
And now you come back to say she's vanished?
Kidnapped. She's been kidnapped!
You're joking! Tabitha.
Please delay the winter frost as long as you can.
I need time to find Thumbelina. TABITHA: Cornelius!
Don't worry, Mother, I'll be back.
TABITHA & COLBERT: Cornelius!
CORNELIUS: I'll find her!
Oh, my poor boy.
Colbert, my love, we can't delay the frost for more than a day.
Hey, bro? Go away.
Pond talk says Thumbelina gave you the slip...
...and is gonna marry a fairy prince.
What fairy prince?
You not be able to show your ugly face on-stage no more.
Everybody laugh at you. Nobody laugh.

Hi, toots. Beetle's my name and razzmatazz is my game.
How do you do? Everything okay? I'm not your toots.
Where do you come from? Up there.
I'm a connoisseur of sweet nectars, a designer of rare threads...
...and a judge of beautiful women.
And you are beautiful, Miss...?
Thumbelina. And I'm going home.
What's your hurry, toots? Relax. Take a load off.
I wish you wouldn't do that. Perhaps you'd prefer this?
[KISSING]
Mr. Beetle! I don't even know you.
Would you stop? Stop? How can I stop?
I'm crazy about you, toots. You're gorgeous.
Oh. You're exciting. Delicious.
I am? And I love the sound of your voice.
My voice? Don't talk! Sing. Sing to me.
[SINGING] I have an idea Can you fly me up there?
Um, why should I, toots? From the tree I could see my house.
I'd know if I'm traveling in the right direction to get home.
Gee, I don't know. That would be a big, big, oh, very big favor.
I'll sing, I'll sing for you
No, no. You'll sing at the Beetle Ball. And dance.
[BEETLE LAUGHING]
BEETLE: We are gonna be the talk of the town, toots.
THUMBELINA: I'm not your toots, and I don't even look like a beetle.
Come on, let's get help.

Every chance to dance with you

Hot to trot
Let's dance, baby!
Isn't she beautiful? Just adorable, darling.

CROWD: Ew!

WOMAN 1: My, my! WOMAN 2: Unattractive.
The word, my dear, is ugly.
MAN 1: She's so ugly it hurts my feelers. I hope it ain't catching.
MAN 2: Disgraceful.
Would you look at that She ain't got no wings
Good gracious, me What are those things?
She ain't got no feelers No feelers?
She ain't got no shell Do tell
She's got scrawny legs and knobby knees For all we know, the gal's got fleas
She can't even fly No, that won't do
So say goodbye She's not for you
Sorry, toots, I guess you're too... ugly!
Don't worry, you'll get over me.
I'm ugly?
Hey, wait for me.
LI'L BEE: Hurry, Thumbelina needs help.
[SCREAMING]
Do I hear one of you say Thumbelina needs help?
GNATTY: Yes. Gnatty!
The beetle took her and flew way up there.
Be quiet.
The beetle? I want her back!
[SCREAMING]
BABY BUG: Come on, let's go!
You big, ugly wart-face.
[CHUCKLING]
Now we see about this beetle.
JACQUIMO [SINGING]: You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
You're sure to fly on magical wings
If you follow your heart
What is the matter, Thumbelina?
I'm cold. I'm lost. And I'm hungry.
And the beetle says I'm ugly. The beetle?
Do you love the beetle? No.
Then never mind the beetle. Good riddance to the beetle.
And good riddance to the toad!
Does Prince Cornelius think you are ugly?
No, he thinks I'm beautiful.
And so you are, mon amie. Look.
I'm going home.
Jacquimo? Hmm?
Will you find the Vale of the Fairies? I promise.
I promise. But now we must sleep.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Thank you, Jacquimo. Thank you.
JACQUIMO: Tomorrow is a new day.
And I will go to the forest and see if I can find your Prince Cornelius.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
A nice sunny day, huh?
It's sunny, all right, but I'm not too sure about the nice.
I am looking for the Vale of the Fairies.
Fairies? Beats the heck out of me. Why don't you ask a fairy?
You know one? No, but he might.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Excusez-moi, I am looking for the Vale of--
Am-scray!
I can see you are a very busy fox, so I will be brief.
FOX: Buzz off, buster!
Look. Look what I do.
I have a thorn in my wing. This is bad, very bad.
Mon Dieu, I hope I still can fly.
I fly.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
It only stings a little.
Now, where was I?
Autumn. It is Autumn.
I must hurry to find the fairy prince.
Winter is almost here.
CORNELIUS: Thumbelina!
Thumbelina, where are you?
[GRUNTING]
Whoa. Whoa!
[CORNELIUS PANTING]
I'm looking for a beautiful young woman.
Her name is Thumbelina.
Are you the fairy prince?
I am. Thumbelina's gone.
Gone? Where did she go? The beetle took her away.
CORNELIUS: What? They're out there. Somewhere.
She's out there? In that?
GNATTY: There's a big toad after her. Oh, no.
I've got to find her. Winter's almost here.
Hurry, Buzz! My father can't hold back the frost much longer.
BEETLE: Okay, okay!
Can I explain something? What?
I don't know where she is. We didn't hit it off too good.
So I let her go. She's not my type. She's an ugly type.
I don't like ugly.
She is beautiful!
Whatever you say. Look, I got an idea.
I hear that she loves the fairy prince, right?
[BEETLE SCREAMS]
I crush fairy prince! Okay, shut up and listen.
Why don't you just nab this prince and set up a trap for the girl...
...using him as the bait. You know, get her to come to you.
Nab the prince? And set up a trap.
Nab the prince. Yes. And set up a trap.
Do you speak English? Try to keep up, Grundel, okay?
Don't shout! You're making me very nervous.
You go capture prince.
You took my wings! You can't do that!
Yeah? I keep wings until you nab prince.
Listen, pal, this harassment has gone far enough, and I know my rights.
I'll report you to the pond patrol.
Okay, okay. Cool it, cool it.
Where's your sense of humor? All right, I'll nab the prince.
Come on, guys. Mind the wings. I'll be back.
[SNORING]
Excusez-moi, Monsieur Bear?
I am looking for the Vale of the Fairies.
I don't want no berries.
No, no, no. Fairies, not berries.
Wake up, you fat lummox!
I said, wake up!
[JACQUIMO SCREAMS]
I am having a very bad day. Mon Dieu, it is so cold.
Winter! Winter is here.
Oh-ho!
This thorn.... It hurts to fly.
CORNELIUS: Don't worry, Buzz. We're gonna make it.
Thumbelina! Oh.
Whoa!
BEETLE: He takes my wings away. Now I have to walk to find the prince.
If he let me keep my wings, I could fly after the prince.
Hey, Beetle, this guy's the prince. The prince? Ah! The prince!
Somebody up there loves me! Okay, you pick him up.
Let's get out of this stinking weather before we're statistics.
I can't even feel anything in my feelers anymore.
A guy with my brains, I gotta talk to a toad.
What kind of conversation can you have with a toad?
What? They're toads.
[THUMBELINA GASPS]
[WATER SPLASHES]
[COUGHING]
Jacquimo was wrong.
I will never find my way home.
It's impossible.
Oh, Mother, where can you be?
[SINGING] I know there's someone
Somewhere
Someone
Who's sure to find her
Soon
After the rain goes
There are rainbows
She'll find the rainbow
Soon
Soon my breaking heart will mend
Soon a happy ending
Troubles behind her
I will find her
Homeward bound
Safe and sound
And soon
WOMAN: Feeling better, my dear?
[KETTLE WHISTLES]
Where am I? In my kitchen.
I'm Ms. Fieldmouse and we are snug and safe underground.
I'm underground?
Yes, dearie, three feet under.
I dug it myself with my own two hands.
Here, drink this.
At least that toad won't find me down here.
There's something I don't understand.
Did you really think you could survive the winter in that old shoe?
Ha, ha! Honestly!
I wanna go home.
Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait here till spring, Thumbelina.
You know my name! Oh, that was easy.
I know much more. Like, you were engaged to the fairy prince.
Cornelius, I believe?
Well, almost.
That is so sad.
What?
That he was found stone-cold frozen dead in the snow.
But of course you knew that? No. Cornelius, no!
FIELDMOUSE: That is so sad. THUMBELINA: No, it's not true. No!
[THUMBELINA SOBBING]
FIELDMOUSE: Oh, Thumbelina.
Forgive me. Sometimes I just blurt things out without thinking.
You're still young, though. There'll be another.
He was perfect.
Nobody's perfect. Cornelius was the only one--
Now, put this on. We'll take these corn cakes to Mr. Mole.
He lives just down the tunnel.
I'd rather not.
I saved your life this very day and you'd rather not?
Very well. One more thing...
...is it true that you have a beautiful voice?
I don't feel much like singing.
You must sing for Mr. Mole.
He loves sweet things. Come on.
Mr. Mole loves his corn cakes.
Cornelius was looking for me. That's what must have happened.
[SNIFFLING]
Good afternoon, Mr. Mole. Oh, yes.
[SNIFFING]
Ms. Fieldmouse? Good afternoon. Lovely day.
I want you to meet a new friend of mine, Thumbelina.
She just came down from up there. "Up there"?
Up there. Terrible place.
[SNIFFING]
Mmm.
How do you do, Miss Thumbelina? Pleased to make your acquaintance.
How do you do, Mr. Mole?
Come in. Don't touch anything. These are my things.
We brought some corn cakes for you. Just you try one, Mr. Mole.
MOLE: Ooh. Mmm.
Very nice. Well, tell us about up there.
I went up once. Nearly blinded me.
Hurried as fast as I could back down where it's dark and decent.
Oh. Uh, but....
I love the light. I hate it. End of story.
Story. Thumbelina, tell Mr. Mole a story.
A lovely, sad story.
Well....
Stand right there, where I can see you.
Okay.
Oh, I love love stories, don't you?
Once upon a time, there was the sun.
Sing it, Thumbelina. Sing. She sings?
Shh! Oh. Um....
[SINGING] Once there was the sun
Bright and warm and wonderful
Shining like the love within my heart
Now there's no more sun
Winter has killed everything
And although it's dark December
Forever
I'll remember sun
Winter has killed everything, even the sun.
Wonderful story. Dreadful thing, the sun.
And now, I have a story to tell you.
Just this morning, as I was out for my early morning stroll...
...I found the most extraordinary thing in my tunnel:
A dead bird. FIELDMOUSE: No!
MOLE: Yes. How do you suppose a dead bird got into my tunnel?
Well, I'm certainly glad I'm not a bird.
Bothering the world with endless twittering, twittering, twittering....
My, yes. Oh, there it is!
Oh!
Whatever do you suppose happened to him?
Well, there's one less bird to twitter, twitter, twitter up there.
Oh, Jacquimo. Jacquimo.
My dear, dear friend.
FIELDMOUSE: Tender little thing. Yes, quite lovely.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Ms. Fieldmouse, could I have a word with you?
I wish you would.
You know I have been meaning to take a wife for some time now.
What a lovely idea.
I find myself sometimes, you know...
...lonely for companionship. What could be more natural?
And I wonder if-- Yes?
If I could ask you to help me persuade Miss Thumbelina...
...to be my wife?
Thumbelina?
She could keep me company and tell me stories.
Yes.
And for your service in helping to arrange this match...
...I will reward you handsomely.
Oh! I will. I will! Dear Ms. Fieldmouse.
Leave the arrangements to me. Thumbelina?
I hear your heart. You're not dead, no.
Jacquimo. Jacquimo.
I'll come back. Tonight. FIELDMOUSE: Thumbelina?
BEETLE: One ice-cold prince coming up. Where do you want him?
There. He looks dead.
Dead? Dead, schmed! What difference does it make?
You killed him. Okay, okay, have it your way.
I killed him. There, you satisfied?
Forget the prince, all right?
What if I were to tell you I know where Thumbelina is right now?
What if I told you that? Would you give me my wings?
I'm glad you kill prince. It's a deal.
Good. My sources tell me...
...she's buried alive with the mole.
Mole? What mole?
If I were you, I'd get my tail over there and save her.
Go. Get hopping. Oh, and give me my wings.
Where does mole live? I go kick down his door.
Ooh! Ooh! Stop! Stop! What's going on? Where are we going?
We go rescue Thumbelina from the mole.
Mole? Are you out of your mind? I'm not going down there.
Do you know what he does to beetles? Do you have any idea?
He stuffs them. He stuffs them and he pins them on his walls.
Quiet! Why don't you just marry a toad?
Ever think about that?
Find a pretty toad with warts and marry her.
Quiet! Toads. I gotta be stuck with toads.
BABY BUG: They've got the fairy prince. We've gotta help him.
Come on, guys, let's build a fire.
FIELDMOUSE: All the same, we'll make it a thrilling wedding.
Why, it's a wonderful match! Mr. Mole is the richest rodent for miles around.
Educated, well-dressed, highly thought of....
Never mind that he can't see. That's all the better.
How can I possibly marry Mr. Mole? I don't love him.
Love? Love is what we read about in books, my dear.
[SINGING] "Here Comes the Bride" Is a lovely little ditty
But marrying for love Is a foolish thing to do
'Cause love won't pay the mortgage Or put porridge in your bowl
Dearie, marry the mole
True, it's a fact that he's not exactly witty
He's blinder than a bat But at least his eyes are blue
His breath may be alarming But he's charming for a troll
Dearie, marry the mole
Romeo and Juliet
Were very much in love When they were wed
They honored every vow So where are they now?
They're dead, dead
Very, very dead
Poor Thumbelina Your brain's so itty-bitty
I hate to seem a pest But I know what's best for you
Just think of all the ways That you can decorate a hole
Take my advice I'll bring the rice
Dearie, marry the mole
Marry the mole
Marry that mole
M is for money
Oh L-E
Please be warm, dear friend. Please live.
Poor little swallow. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you.
I know now...
...there's no place in this big world for little people.
We....
We cannot do impossible things.
Perhaps I should marry the mole.
He could take care of me. He could.
I will.
I will marry the mole.
You are joking? Jacquimo?
Marry the prince. Jacquimo, you're awake!
Oh, Jacquimo!
Ow! Ow.
Oh, I'm sorry. I have a thorn in my wing.
A thorn? Well, let me see.
Oh, my goodness. Hold still.
Ah! There.
[KISSES]
Now it will get better. Don't get up.
No, no, I go to find the Vale of the Fairies and the prince.
You silly bird, don't you understand?
Get on my back. I will take you to the green forest.
Be realistic. Cornelius is gone.
I will find him. Remember.... Jacquimo, don't.
JACQUIMO [SINGING]: You're sure to do impossible things
Stop! Stop it, Jacquimo!
--your heart
Bon voyage, mon amie.
Jacquimo! Bon voyage!
No. Jacquimo.
Oh, Jacquimo, stop torturing me.
Cornelius is dead.
[LI'L BEE GRUNTING]
There.
Does he know Mr. Mole is gonna marry Thumbelina?
We'll find out when the ice melts. Then we'll tell him.
Whoa!
Look, he's waking up.
[ORGAN PLAYING "WEDDING MARCH"]
CORNELIUS [SINGING]: Let me be your wings
Let me be your only love
Let me take you Far beyond the stars
REVEREND: Mr. Mole, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?
Let me be your wings
Let me lift you high above
Everything we're dreaming of Will soon be ours
[MOLE CLEARING THROAT]
MOLE: I do.
Anything that you desire
Anything at all
And, Thumbelina, do you take this mole...
...to be your lawful wedded husband?
THUMBELINA: Do not forget me.
Forget-me-nots.
I'll never forget you. Never.
Never, never.
REVEREND: Speak up.
Never. What?
Never. I beg your pardon?
I cannot marry Mr. Mole.
[GASPING]
I don't love him. What?
Thumbelina!
[SCREAMING]
You? I marry her!
No, I no marry you. I go home!
No!
Go away!
[SCREAMS]
MOLE: After her!
Ha, ha! Hi, toots. I'm not your toots.
BEETLE: Hey, wait. Thumbelina!
My wings. My wings.
Whoa! Ah.
Thumbelina.
GRUNDEL: She marry me! That's the toad we told you about.
We meet at last, Mr. Toad. Fairy prince?
No. You killed him.
[GRUNTING]
Oh!
The sun. The sun is shining again.
[GRUNTING]
Come on, show me what you got.
[CHUCKLING]
CORNELIUS: Let me go!
[THUMBELINA SCREAMS]
Thumbelina?
[GASPING]
MOLE: Thumbelina, come back.
[GRUNTING]
[SCREAMING]
[GASPING]
Ah, the sun!
JACQUIMO [SINGING]: And always follow
Your heart
Jacquimo, it's you. Of course, c'est moi.
Thumbelina, I have found it. I found the Vale of the Fairies!
Oh. Jacquimo. It is true.
I talked to the rabbit, who talked to the fox...
...who talked to the deer, who know for sure.
I show you. Jump on. Hang on! Jacquimo!
[JACQUIMO HUMMING "FOLLOW YOUR HEART"]
We go find the fairy prince. That's impossible.
JACQUIMO: You are wrong.
I nearly made the biggest mistake of my life.
I nearly said yes to the mole. That mountain looks like a turtle.
But I don't love the mole.
Ah. We are here, we are here! Hello, hello, hello. Fairies?
This is it.
This?
It just looks like a patch of ordinary weeds.
Sing, Thumbelina, sing.
Jacquimo, please, can you take me home?
Sing!
[SINGING] You will be my wings
You will be my only love
You will take me far beyond the stars
Jacquimo, this is silly. This is a weed patch.
This is the Vale of the Fairies!
Take me home. Please.
[SINGING] Let me be your wings
Like that. Sing, like that.
You will lift me high above
[JACQUIMO SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Everything we're dreaming of Will soon be ours
[JACQUIMO SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Anything that we desire
Anything at all
Every day you'll take me higher
Let's be practical. This isn't the Vale of the Fairies...
...and Cornelius is never coming back.
And I'll never let you fall
You. It's you. Cornelius, you're alive!
Thumbelina, will you marry me?
I will.
Wings. I have wings.
My very own wings!
[CHEERING]
[BELLS RINGING]
[TRUMPETS BLOWING]
CHORUS: Anything that you desire
Hello, Mother!
Anything at all
[CROWD CHEERING]
Every day I'll take you higher
And I'll never let you fall
[WHISTLES]
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
[GIGGLING]
And always
Follow your heart
JACQUIMO: And of course...
...they lived happily ever after.
["FOLLOW YOUR HEART" PLAYING]
You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
Ha, ha!
Your dreams will fly on magical wings
When you follow your heart
If you have to journey far Here's a little trick
You don't need a guiding star Trust your ticker, get there quicker
Ha, ha!
You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
Come on, Thumbelina! You are going home!
Your mother is waiting! Get up, get up!
You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
Your dreams will fly on magical wings
Sing, my little chickadees!
When you follow your heart
North or south or east or west Where to point your shoes?
Which direction is the best?
If the choosing gets confusing Maybe it's the math you're using
You don't need a chart to guide you Close your eyes and look inside you
Ha, ha!
You're sure to do impossible things
If you know where to start
Ha, ha!
Your dreams will fly on magical wings
When you follow
Just trust the swallow
And always follow
Your heart
