Is it just me...


or is thumbelina unbelievably stupid? shes retarded.
i mean i love the film, have since i was little, but i watched it again the other day, and i was like "wow."
All these people kidnap her, and she just grins like an idiot and joins in with them!
The toads steal her, she joins their crew and sings and dances about. The beetle takes her, and she dresses up in a costume and dances like a fool. Then the mouse and mole try to trick her into the wedding, and again, she grins like an idiot and dances along!
Also, the fairy prince is quite clearly gay.

"And the homosexual fairy prince and the retard lived happily ever after"

Although I wouldn't use 'stupid' to describe her, she incredibly passive and just doesn't have much spirit in her as I said here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111419/board/nest/95545695?d=96766312#967 66312.



Valentine's Day? Pfft, it's just an excuse to eat some chocolate for me!

I couldn't care either way.
But it seems to me that you have some problems Taran_Wanderer. Either that or you're just having a bad day. Calling a complete stanger a "retard" and a "bastard" because they annoy you is pathetic.
I don't know where you came into it anyway. I directed my comments at the other posters who seem determined to persecute her/him. I don't know them, I don't know you and quite frankly I do not wish to.
Get a life. The lot of you.

Dude, shut up, alright? Quite frankly, no one wants to put up with your BS, yet, there you are everyday

I shall say this, and only this since I'm facing such animosity from everyone here.
It is a free country (or it was, the last time I checked) and if I want to post something I shall. Even if it doesn't conform to Taran_Wanderer's point of view.
Hell, I get the same response when I'm trying to discuss a film seriously as I would if I was "trolling". What exactly does it take to get a bit of respect on this board?
It's one thing if my posts were all full of crap, but you responded to my Little Mermaid thread with no respect whatsoever. I may as well have started a thread entitled 'King Triton is hot'. I don't give a flying f!!k if you agree with me about the underlying messages, I don't care if you don't see them or whatever. But I do care that you don't appear to have bothered reading before you attacked me with "TROLL TROLL TROLL".
The same in this instance. I'm not "trolling", I'm merely surprised (and somewhat disgusted) that so many users find it normal to have a "cyberfight" with someone they have probably never met. Like I said, it's pathetic. However, what do I get? "TROLL TROLL TROLL".
Oh I apologise. I've just looked up "Troll" in the IMDb dictionary:
Someone who does not agree with or conform to the opinions held by the majority of users, especially if the other user is Taran_Wanderer

And, pray tell me, Taran_Wanderer where or when anyone said they wanted to put up with your hissy fits over The Rescuers, GoldenFilms or Thumbelina? Or, for that matter, any other Disney/animated movies? And yet here you are, everyday.

As for my BS, am I the one disputing your parentage over the internet because I dislike your choice of films? Didn't think so. Pathetic.

I don't give a damn if you do or ont.
If you have that little respect for someone, you are pathetic.
And if you didn't read, and yet wasted your time replying, well...sucks for you.

Exactly.
I stand by what I said.
So how old do you behave, Taran_Wanderer?

I find it somewhat amusing that (apparently) you read my 'biography' section but not my posts...

Did I say they did?
I believe the post you refer to was about fish and phones.

Ah. That would make more sense. I found it strange that you had. Not that I care either way.

I have, actually. Why do you ask?

The Name's Skywalker...Mr Skywalker

Did you see him making idiotic comments saying:

The Little Mermaid is left-wing propaganda
Beauty and the Beast will turn every girl into man haters because Belle called Gaston primeval
The Lion King is retarded because it features talking animals

I was starting to enjoy this thread as well.
TLM is left wing propaganda. Hell, I think all movies are. No one likes right-winged-ness, so they promote left wing views.
On the other hand, did you read that post completely? I believe the majority of the post addressed the fact that TLM encourages children to ignore traditions and to ignore their parents. It was not all about left wing propaganda.
Although, the Bolsheviks did promote both of the above.

Wth every post you make, your IQ drops and you get more and more pathetic and tiresome.

So back to square one are we?
And I thought we were starting to build bridges

Maybe it's the morons with nothing worthwhile to say who don't say that, but then say that the ones who do are because they wish they'd thought of it first?

I bid you farewell, ciao, and adios.
Until the sequel.

Oh, don't bother. We don't like sequels. Especially when the original's bad.

So you talk for everyone on IMDb? Or is that just a "royal We"?
Actually, don't bother answering that. I don't really care. I'm just as bored as hell and tired as f!!k.

This argument between Taran and walker weirdly reminds me of encounters on The Sandbox - where one person tries to stick up for themselves, but you've got a whole gang of people who have like a ringleader who they stick by and support. It also reminds of a soap too, .

This line in particular had me guffawing:

Even if it doesn't conform to Taran_Wanderer's point of view.

damn guys, they're just movies, yano, was just making an observation - did not mean to get anyones back up.
whats going on here? and which idiot phsychoanalysed little mermaid and beauty and the beast.... they're just movies made for entertainment mate, no deeper meaning.

reply

I beg to differ.
All movies, books, tv programmes and all other forms of entertainment (possibly bar music, but there are exceptions) are created to present a message.
Some messages are obvious and pretty innocent. Others are less obvious and are anything but innocent.
It's all very well to say "Beauty is found within", but deliberately presenting a young woman as despising all men because they're "primeval" and then having her fall in love with a beast is blatant sexism.
Anyway. This is very off-topic for the Thumbelina board. Head over to Beauyty and the Beast and I'll be more then happy to explain my theories.

no, she said gaston was primevil because of his behavior, she didnt say all men.

But that is what is heavily implied...

and that, my friend, is reading way to far into a line from a cartoon

Who cares?
Isn't the point of the movie how much we, the audience enjoy it?

It's remarkable how similar we two are.

Anyway, since when have you and genevieveldjohnson been best bum chums?

The Name's Skywalker...Mr Skywalker

Well think about it. She hasn't been away from her home her entire life. Some of the ways she joins in seem a little sarcastic to me, personally.. and with the "Yer beautiful, baby" number, I'm sure she was flattered by the bugs calling her beautiful, and then was trying to prove that she could still dance and sing even if they thought she was ugly..I suppose.

it's your typical musical, though. Anyone on screen will join in the dancing and singing, regardless.

i must say that i totally agree with the original poster except that i dont think cornelius is gay.

but anyways, even as a kid although i luved the movie, i do remember asking my mother why she was so unbelievably stupid and passive. (im pretty shur i didnt say all those big words tho...) but hey. thats just the way the cookie crumbles.


and troll or not, i thot the orignal post was unbelievably halirious. be glad that the poster isnt like some trolls who just spit fire but have nothing to back up their complaints. everything said was well grounded and made sense. she did just join in everything. lmao

"grinned like an idiot and joined in" haaha

I think I get what you're saying.

It's part of the movie's theme: "Follow your heart." Thumbellina just went along with everything and did everything everyone else told her she should do rather than following her heart, and it just got her into trouble.

Mur?
