Thumbelina Review!

My apologies for the delay, I would have done a video review like the Nostalgia Critic, but I'm just going the quicker way to start my animated musicals December! So here it is:

Thumbelina
DISNEY RIP-OFF!!!
Rating: *
OK, I'm just gonna get straight to the point: IT'S A DISNEY RIP-OFF! SPECIFICALLY A LITTLE MERMAID RIP-OFF! Think about, both are based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale with red-head women as the titular characters, they fall into the syndrome of falling in love at first sight, the men only love their voices, as does everyone else, they want to be something they're not and most importantly: THEY'RE BOTH VOICED BY JODI BENSON! Did she really not see the similarities between them when she recorded the voice for Thumbelina!
OK, the plot is a contrived love/adventure story and is ridiculous and lacks common sense! Why didn't she get on that stupid bird when she was stuck of the lily pad so she could go home? Why didn't the prince die when he was frozen and why did Thumbelina agree to marry the mole in the first place even though she didn't love him? Yep I hate this film, but nothing could bug me more than the music, written by Barry Manilow, which is some of the shittiest music I have ever heard, especially Marry the Mole and Follow Your Heart, making this film be only animated film to win a Razzie!
So yeah, one other thing I find strange is why is it in Paris? May be ripping off Beauty and the Beast since that's set in France too, as well as fading into stained glass at the end. Also, how long did this film take place for? From my perspective, it would've been about 3 days, 4 maximum and also, the moral of the story leaves nothing for kids and I just hate it! Impossible and inconvinient aren't the same thing!
OK, I know this was short review, but my next one will be Quest for Camelot, where I will have things to talk or/write about!
