DESCRIPTION:Based on the enduring Hans Christian Andersen story\, this hand
 -drawn\, animated version by the Ireland-based Sullivan Bluth Studios feat
 ures a charming vocal performance by Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel in Di
 sney’s *The Little Mermaid*) and songs by Barry Manilow\, who also wrote
  the music for El Paso native and 2017 PCFF guest Don Bluth and Gary Goldm
 an’s *The Pebble and the Penguin.* No bigger than a thumb\, Thumbelina f
 alls in love with the fairy Prince Cornelius\, only to be separated and ex
 ploited on her journey to find him. Despite the continuing popularity of A
 ndersen’s fairy tale\, the movie was a box-office bust\, its release del
 ayed almost a year after its original distributor dropped it due to Don Bl
 uth Entertainment’s filing for bankruptcy. — *Doug Pullen*
