Thumbelina was a character in children?s first. The first book was published in 1835 by Hans Christian Anderson and Brian Pinkney. The first film of Thumbelina was in 1994. It was an animated musical. When I was a child, my mother would read these books to me. Of course, in 1994 I had to see the film so I waited for it to come out and watched it with my kids. Thumbelina is a fairytale of a tiny woman no bigger then an adult thumb. When tiny Thumbelina meets Prince Cornelius, they fall in love. Before they could marry, she had strange adventures to go on. This is a story of love, friendship and of hope. I had always loved all the adventures of this little flower lady. She always slept in flowers. My absolute favorite cartoon character has always been and always will be tigger. The wonderful thing about tiggers, is tiggers are wonderful things, their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of spring. They are bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy. Fun fun fun fun fun. But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I?m the only one. Tiggers are cuddly fellas, tiggers are offaly sweet, everyone el-us is jealous and that?s why I repeat - tiggers are a wonderful thing !
