Thumbelina is the girl no bigger than your thumb, yet her spirits soar
above and beyond the restrictions of her size. She's sweet, kind and a
hopeless romantic at heart which are all wonderful traits, although her
clueless-ness keeps getting her into trouble. But she's pushed into adventure
when she gets lost from her home, and learns rather plenty about the outside
world.

Prince Cornelius of the Fairies is Thumbelina's love, whose adventurous
and outgoing nature compliments Thumbelina's own reluctance and shyness
perfectly. He's still rather immature at times, but once he meets Thumbelina
his priorities change and he manages some really amazing feats.

Jacquimo the swallow is a French-accented bird with an overflowing
supply of optimism and determination. He befriends Thumbelina during her
journey and helps her as much as he can on her quest to get back home (or
find Prince Cornelius, whichever comes first).

Thumbelina's mother (only known as Mother) is a kind elderly woman
who worked on a farm but found animal companionship didn't make up for
having a child of her own. Thumbelina was the light of her life, and she
enjoyed being a mother for what little time she had with the tiny angel
in a skirt. Voiced by Barbara Cook

Mrs Toad snatches Thumbelina from the safety of her home with the intention
of making her part of the "Los Sapos Guapos" performance troupe. She looks
at Thumbelina as some sort of cash cow, and then forces her to marry her
son, Grendel. Voiced by Charo

Grundel is one of Mrs Toad's three sons, and the one that has set his
eyes on marrying the beautiful Thumbelina. He appears stupid, but can be
a wicked piece of work when provoked, and will do whatever it takes to
have Thumbelina as his bride.

Mr Beetle proclaims himself a "judge of beautiful things" and is a
smooth-talker when it comes to charming the ladies. His interest in Thumbelina
is purely commercial, wanting to make her a star at the Beetle Ball, but
quickly shunts her when she is rejected by the masses. He is later forced
to find Thumbelina for Grendel. Voiced by Gilbert Gottfried

To me, Mrs Fieldmouse is the nastiest of the all ill-intentioning bad
guys. Although she looks harmless, Mrs Fieldmouse is insensitive to Thumbelina's
feelings, is money-minded and makes fun of love as though it were a disease.
Mrs Fieldmouse saves Thumbelina when winter strikes, and later forces her
to marry Mr Mole.

Mr Mole is a near blind devilishly-rich squat who hates sunlight and
must have his way all the time. He wants Thumbelina as his own bride, despite
knowing very well how much she loves the sun and the fresh air.
