18
00:00:43,203 --> 00:00:46,803
There once lived in this
world a childless woman.

19
00:00:46,804 --> 00:00:50,804
So one day, she decided to go...

20
00:00:50,805 --> 00:00:56,005
to a witch!

21
00:00:56,506 --> 00:00:59,806
Don't be afraid. She was a good witch.

22
00:01:02,507 --> 00:01:06,607
She gave a barleycorn seed
to the woman, and said:

23
00:01:07,108 --> 00:01:11,308
Place it in the ground,
and see what happens.

24
00:01:23,209 --> 00:01:27,909
The girl was very tiny,
no bigger than a thumb.

25
00:01:28,430 --> 00:01:31,540
And so she was
named Thumbelina.

26
00:01:43,941 --> 00:01:49,641
Ah, how pretty! Who are you?

27
00:01:56,842 --> 00:01:58,000
It's me!

28
00:01:58,701 --> 00:02:02,001
It's me! It's me!
It's me!

29
00:02:56,402 --> 00:03:00,402
There ran a stream not far
from Thumbelina's home.

30
00:03:00,403 --> 00:03:02,303
The stream ran into a river.

31
00:03:02,404 --> 00:03:06,004
And on the river's swampy
shore lived two toads.

32
00:03:06,405 --> 00:03:10,705
A mother toad and her son.

33
00:03:18,106 --> 00:03:22,006
There, we've eaten;
now we can sleep a bit.

34
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:33,207
There, we've slept...
now we can eat a bit.

35
00:03:37,208 --> 00:03:41,808
There, we've eaten;
now we can sleep a bit.

36
00:03:42,809 --> 00:03:46,509
I won't sleep. I'm bored of it.

37
00:03:54,310 --> 00:03:56,710
Then you must eat again.

38
00:03:56,911 --> 00:03:59,511
I'm bored of eating too.

39
00:03:59,712 --> 00:04:03,812
Then do something. Work.

40
00:04:03,913 --> 00:04:05,513
I'm bored of it.

41
00:04:05,514 --> 00:04:10,514
How can you be bored of it
if you've never worked?

42
00:04:10,715 --> 00:04:13,515
I'm bored of it in advance.

43
00:04:14,316 --> 00:04:19,116
What if you went to study something?

44
00:04:19,917 --> 00:04:24,617
No need to tarry!
I want to marry!

45
00:04:29,218 --> 00:04:33,318
The day ended...
and night began.

46
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:38,109
The night was warm, so Thumbelina
slept with an open window.

47
00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:44,510
A nicely polished walnut
shell served as her cradle.

48
00:04:45,211 --> 00:04:48,111
Her mattress was made of
the blue petals of violets,

49
00:04:48,212 --> 00:04:51,212
and a rose petal was pulled up to cover her.

50
00:04:51,713 --> 00:04:54,913
Peacefully and quietly slept Thumbelina.

51
00:04:55,514 --> 00:04:56,614
Suddenly...

52
00:05:33,715 --> 00:05:36,615
Don't speak so loud, or you will wake her up!

53
00:05:36,916 --> 00:05:40,216
Well? Isn't she a good bride?

54
00:05:40,317 --> 00:05:46,517
She's good! It's only too bad
that she's not green...

55
00:05:46,818 --> 00:05:51,018
Don't worry! She'll become green
after living with us for a bit.

56
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:57,319
I'll take her to a safe place, so that
she doesn't run away from her fortune.

57
00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:01,120
We'll have the wedding in the morning.
Get ready.

58
00:06:01,221 --> 00:06:05,921
What do I have to get ready for?
I'm already ready.

59
00:06:06,022 --> 00:06:08,422
I'd rather get some sleep.

60
00:06:27,923 --> 00:06:29,023
Where am I?

61
00:06:29,724 --> 00:06:31,624
How did I get here?

62
00:06:32,525 --> 00:06:34,525
You brought me here!

63
00:06:36,026 --> 00:06:37,926
What do you want to do with me?

64
00:06:38,327 --> 00:06:42,027
I want to marry you to my son!

65
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:44,128
I don't want to marry!

66
00:06:44,429 --> 00:06:47,529
Once you see him, you will!

67
00:06:48,130 --> 00:06:53,030
My son is a groom of the highest
qua-qua-qualifications!

68
00:06:53,531 --> 00:06:56,031
He's a real looker, in my own image!

69
00:06:56,602 --> 00:06:57,932
I want to go home.

70
00:06:58,333 --> 00:07:04,033
Nonsense! After the marriage
you'll live in our qua-qua-quarters.

71
00:07:04,434 --> 00:07:05,934
And where do you live?

72
00:07:06,335 --> 00:07:11,435
In that bog!
In the quietest qua-qua-quadrant.

73
00:07:18,236 --> 00:07:21,636
Tomorrow I'll return with my son!

74
00:07:22,287 --> 00:07:23,337
Goodbye!

75
00:07:46,738 --> 00:07:48,438
Do you feel that?

76
00:07:48,739 --> 00:07:49,839
What?

77
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440
The water has become salty!

78
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:55,841
You're right.

79
00:07:57,342 --> 00:08:00,442
Maybe our river is turning into the sea?

80
00:08:00,843 --> 00:08:03,743
That's the last thing we needed.

81
00:08:04,044 --> 00:08:06,044
Let's go look.

82
00:08:07,745 --> 00:08:09,145
Girl, what are you crying about?

83
00:08:09,946 --> 00:08:12,046
They want to marry me.

84
00:08:12,207 --> 00:08:14,947
What's bad about that?

85
00:08:15,048 --> 00:08:16,648
To a toad!

86
00:08:16,849 --> 00:08:18,949
How awful!

87
00:08:19,650 --> 00:08:21,050
This cannot be allowed!

88
00:08:30,751 --> 00:08:33,151
We can't bite through.

89
00:08:33,452 --> 00:08:36,752
Too bad we're not pikes.

90
00:08:36,953 --> 00:08:39,753
What do we do?

91
00:08:50,054 --> 00:08:53,704
Get up! It's time to get married.

92
00:08:53,905 --> 00:08:59,605
I'd like to eat first...

93
00:09:03,506 --> 00:09:07,106
Respectable crayfish, won't you
agree to bite through something?

94
00:09:08,407 --> 00:09:10,217
I've already had breakfast.

95
00:09:10,218 --> 00:09:12,918
We don't mean food.

96
00:09:13,319 --> 00:09:17,519
A stem from a lily needs to be
gnawed through to save a girl.

97
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:20,920
I am not interested in girls.

98
00:09:22,021 --> 00:09:25,121
Wait, they're trying to
marry her against her will!

99
00:09:25,622 --> 00:09:29,222
Why didn't you say so immediately?

100
00:09:29,723 --> 00:09:35,823
I am one of those crustaceans
who dislikes such situations,

101
00:09:35,824 --> 00:09:41,824
for I am myself a hermit.
Show me the road!

102
00:09:58,025 --> 00:10:02,625
There. Now I can go get married.

103
00:10:03,026 --> 00:10:05,026
Show me the road!

104
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:29,127
It is them!

105
00:10:34,728 --> 00:10:36,828
He's disgusting!

106
00:11:25,429 --> 00:11:27,929
They'll catch up to me! They will!

107
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,830
No way! You won't get away!

108
00:11:46,101 --> 00:11:47,831
Pull harder! Harder!

109
00:12:14,832 --> 00:12:15,832
Who are you?

110
00:12:17,033 --> 00:12:20,233
A May-bug. A May-bug.

111
00:12:20,634 --> 00:12:22,334
A gentleman.

112
00:12:22,635 --> 00:12:24,335
And this is my home.

113
00:12:27,636 --> 00:12:29,436
How I like it here!

114
00:12:29,737 --> 00:12:34,037
Consider my home to be your home.

115
00:12:34,338 --> 00:12:36,138
Let's live together.

116
00:12:36,739 --> 00:12:38,239
Won't I bother you?

117
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,540
Oh, this is my most fiery desire!

118
00:12:42,841 --> 00:12:47,441
Be my wife, oh beauty!

119
00:12:48,442 --> 00:12:52,142
This is so unexpected!
Please allow me time to consider...

120
00:12:55,843 --> 00:13:02,943
I'm a gentleman, and shall
wait as long as you desire.

121
00:13:02,944 --> 00:13:06,544
But meanwhile, allow me to propose a walk.

122
00:13:44,045 --> 00:13:47,445
What a freak!

123
00:13:47,846 --> 00:13:51,346
She has only two legs!

124
00:13:52,547 --> 00:13:55,747
She doesn't even have antennae!

125
00:13:57,348 --> 00:14:02,548
She even has a waistline!

126
00:14:03,449 --> 00:14:07,449
Horrible! Horrible!
Horrible! Horrible!

127
00:14:07,450 --> 00:14:12,650
Ladies and gentlebeetles!

128
00:14:22,951 --> 00:14:30,251
I feel bad for you! How could
someone with your artful taste

129
00:14:30,452 --> 00:14:39,052
suddenly stoop to such poverty?
Oh, spin me around!

130
00:15:01,253 --> 00:15:04,253
Alas, we must part.

131
00:15:04,754 --> 00:15:05,554
Why?

132
00:15:05,855 --> 00:15:09,555
Because except for me,
nobody liked you.

133
00:15:10,056 --> 00:15:11,556
I wish you luck.

134
00:15:15,057 --> 00:15:20,657
All summer long, poor Thumbelina
lived all alone in the woods.

135
00:15:21,458 --> 00:15:24,158
She wove herself a hammock of grass,

136
00:15:24,609 --> 00:15:29,709
and hung it under a big
burdock leaf to keep off the rain.

137
00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:33,210
She took honey from the flowers for food,

138
00:15:33,611 --> 00:15:34,811
and drank the dew.

139
00:15:35,412 --> 00:15:39,112
In this way passed the summer,
then the autumn,

140
00:15:39,513 --> 00:15:42,713
and winter was approaching.

141
00:16:16,814 --> 00:16:18,614
Who's dancing above my head?

142
00:16:19,615 --> 00:16:23,015
I'm sorry. I didn't know
that someone lived here.

143
00:16:23,016 --> 00:16:27,816
"Someone". I'm not a "someone";
I'm a field mouse.

144
00:16:28,817 --> 00:16:30,517
Hey, come on down here.

145
00:16:41,218 --> 00:16:42,218
Why're you dancing?

146
00:16:43,319 --> 00:16:44,519
From cold.

147
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:46,920
And why're you swaying?

148
00:16:48,021 --> 00:16:49,501
From hunger.

149
00:17:04,702 --> 00:17:08,402
Now I'm warmed up and full.

150
00:17:08,403 --> 00:17:12,703
Well, if you eat so little,
stay with me for the whole winter.

151
00:17:13,104 --> 00:17:15,504
You'll help me with the housework.

152
00:17:16,405 --> 00:17:17,805
May I come in?

153
00:17:19,306 --> 00:17:23,306
Neighbour, you are always welcome here.
Are you in good health?

154
00:17:24,407 --> 00:17:26,007
I'm spent.

155
00:17:26,508 --> 00:17:27,708
What were you doing?

156
00:17:28,409 --> 00:17:30,709
Counting my riches.

157
00:17:31,210 --> 00:17:34,210
How many reserves I have.
Too much to count.

158
00:17:35,011 --> 00:17:37,111
You need a helper.

159
00:17:38,212 --> 00:17:40,212
But he'll steal.

160
00:17:40,513 --> 00:17:42,013
That depends on who is the helper.

161
00:17:45,014 --> 00:17:48,514
Go out for a moment, girl.
I need to talk with the mole in secret.

162
00:17:49,115 --> 00:17:51,115
Here: cover yourself with this blanket,

163
00:17:51,116 --> 00:17:52,116
or you'll freeze.

164
00:18:00,417 --> 00:18:05,017
What kind of helper, you ask?
You need to marry, neighbour!

165
00:18:05,718 --> 00:18:07,718
But a wife needs to be fed.

166
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:11,119
Do you know how gluttonous wives are?

167
00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:15,020
There are some who're full
after eating half a seed!

168
00:18:16,321 --> 00:18:17,321
Fairy tales.

169
00:18:17,522 --> 00:18:19,322
Not fairy tales, truth.

170
00:18:19,723 --> 00:18:20,623
Here, listen:

171
00:18:54,024 --> 00:18:55,424
Like ice.

172
00:18:55,825 --> 00:18:57,125
She's frozen.

173
00:19:00,226 --> 00:19:04,026
Knock. Knock... knock!

174
00:19:04,127 --> 00:19:05,627
She's alive!

175
00:19:25,128 --> 00:19:28,528
Also, she's a beauty!

176
00:19:28,629 --> 00:19:32,129
I don't need beauty.
I don't see anything, anyway.

177
00:19:32,730 --> 00:19:37,730
But I like the fact that she eats little.

178
00:19:45,031 --> 00:19:47,831
All right. I'll think it over.

179
00:19:52,532 --> 00:19:55,932
Half a seed a day.

180
00:19:56,433 --> 00:19:58,333
That's not much for one day.

181
00:19:59,134 --> 00:20:00,234
I'll marry!

182
00:20:01,035 --> 00:20:05,735
But in a year? A year has 365 days.

183
00:20:08,236 --> 00:20:10,536
Half a seed a day...

184
00:20:13,707 --> 00:20:17,837
182.5 seeds per year.

185
00:20:18,838 --> 00:20:22,238
That's not so little, in a year.

186
00:20:26,639 --> 00:20:28,839
No. I won't marry.

187
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:13,640
Wake up. Wake up, dear swallow.
Spring has come.

188
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:17,441
The sun!

189
00:21:20,742 --> 00:21:24,542
If not for you, I would have
never seen the sun again.

190
00:21:24,843 --> 00:21:26,643
Thank you for everything.

191
00:21:27,004 --> 00:21:28,544
May you find happiness!

192
00:21:34,445 --> 00:21:36,745
May you, too, find happiness!

193
00:21:43,046 --> 00:21:48,746
All spring and all summer, the mole
counted it this way and that way.

194
00:21:48,747 --> 00:21:52,747
Finally, in the autumn, he decided to marry.

195
00:21:53,848 --> 00:21:56,848
Girl! You were born under a lucky star!

196
00:21:57,309 --> 00:21:58,200
Congratulations.

197
00:21:58,301 --> 00:22:01,101
Just now, our neighbour
has asked for your hand.

198
00:22:01,102 --> 00:22:03,902
In a month, you'll be the mole's wife!

199
00:22:06,403 --> 00:22:08,903
Don't worry. You can't die from happiness.

200
00:22:18,204 --> 00:22:23,004
Have pity upon me, hostess!
Do not marry me to the mole!

201
00:22:23,505 --> 00:22:24,605
You're mad!

202
00:22:25,206 --> 00:22:27,306
You won't find a better husband
than our neighbour.

203
00:22:27,507 --> 00:22:31,107
He's blind. He's rich.
A treasure trove, not a husband.

204
00:22:31,408 --> 00:22:34,208
The queen herself hasn't a
black coat as fine as his.

205
00:22:34,509 --> 00:22:36,609
I don't want to marry him.

206
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:38,310
Nonsense!

207
00:22:38,811 --> 00:22:41,811
And if you keep crying,
I'll bite you with my white teeth.

208
00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:46,512
Come sit here, rather.
And weave the wedding dress.

209
00:22:49,213 --> 00:22:54,313
To help Thumbelina, the field mouse 
hired four spider-weavers.

210
00:23:04,714 --> 00:23:07,514
The wedding day came.

211
00:23:23,615 --> 00:23:25,815
Are you ready, dear?

212
00:23:25,916 --> 00:23:27,116
Ready, ready!

213
00:23:27,817 --> 00:23:32,317
My dear, I have the honour
to introduce my friends to you.

214
00:23:34,918 --> 00:23:37,518
Very well-to-do moles.

215
00:23:40,019 --> 00:23:42,819
Please be nice to them.

216
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:51,020
My dear, I have decided to
grant you a wedding-day gift.

217
00:23:51,821 --> 00:23:56,321
Any wish you ask for shall be granted.

218
00:23:56,922 --> 00:23:57,822
Ask.

219
00:23:58,723 --> 00:24:02,323
Allow me to bid farewell to the sun.

220
00:24:02,824 --> 00:24:03,624
To whom?

221
00:24:04,405 --> 00:24:05,525
To the sun.

222
00:24:07,026 --> 00:24:09,826
What an amusing wish.

223
00:24:10,427 --> 00:24:13,027
Isn't it so, my well-to-do moles?

224
00:24:15,028 --> 00:24:22,628
You are completely correct.
The sun is the source of heat and light.

225
00:24:22,929 --> 00:24:25,329
And do the blind need light?

226
00:24:25,330 --> 00:24:26,330
No.

227
00:24:27,331 --> 00:24:31,331
Wish for something else, dear.

228
00:24:31,932 --> 00:24:34,132
I have no other wish.

229
00:24:35,033 --> 00:24:45,733
Well, since I promised, go and bid
farewell, but come straight back.

230
00:24:48,334 --> 00:24:53,234
What do you want to do meanwhile,
my well-to-do moles?

231
00:24:54,235 --> 00:24:58,235
Let's do some counting...

232
00:24:59,136 --> 00:25:01,436
Now that's a fun pasttime.

233
00:25:05,937 --> 00:25:09,537
5 x 5 is 25. 5 x 8 is 40.

234
00:25:09,638 --> 00:25:13,038
6 x 6 is 36. 2 x 2 is 4.

235
00:25:17,939 --> 00:25:25,739
Goodbye, red sun!
I will never see you again.

236
00:25:35,340 --> 00:25:36,340
Hello!

237
00:25:37,141 --> 00:25:38,741
Swallow!

238
00:25:40,742 --> 00:25:42,942
I'm glad to see you, Thumbelina.

239
00:25:43,543 --> 00:25:44,843
Where are you flying?

240
00:25:44,844 --> 00:25:46,044
To warm countries.

241
00:25:47,145 --> 00:25:49,045
Take me with you!

242
00:25:49,046 --> 00:25:50,546
With pleasure!

243
00:26:50,347 --> 00:26:53,047
We're here.

244
00:26:53,748 --> 00:26:57,248
Pick the prettiest flower for yourself,

245
00:26:57,549 --> 00:26:59,109
and live in it.

246
00:26:59,710 --> 00:27:03,610
I'll live not far from you.
Over there.

247
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:28,811
What is your name, beauty?

248
00:27:29,512 --> 00:27:30,912
Thumbelina.

249
00:27:31,713 --> 00:27:38,513
Thumbelina? Thumbelina!
Ah! What a beautiful name!

250
00:27:39,714 --> 00:27:43,514
Be my wife, Thumbelina.

251
00:27:44,915 --> 00:27:49,415
But if you refuse, I shall die of grief!

252
00:27:50,316 --> 00:27:53,216
Ah! I am dying.

253
00:27:56,517 --> 00:27:58,317
I accept!

254
00:28:26,918 --> 00:28:27,818
The End

255
00:28:27,819 --> 00:28:29,819
