Funny / Thumbelina (1994)

• One of Jaquimo's first lines: "I love ze sound of my own voice. Mwah!"
• When Cornelius pays Thumbelina a compliment for her "lovely name", you might expect her to do the same regarding his. Instead, she reacts thusly:
  Thumbelina: Cooor-nelius! (giggles) Well, that's a funny name! Oh, I-I mean, it's perfect...
• In the middle of Let Me Be Your Wings, Cornelius drops Thumbelina while he sings of how he’d never let her fall. His reaction once he notices she’s falling says it all.
  • Meanwhile, Thumbelina goes on singing happily as she falls, seemingly too in love to even notice that she's plunging to her possible death.
• During the "On The Road Number" The method Mrs. Toad gets Thumbelina to help her sing; by stepping on her foot!.
  Mrs. Toad: Now, I make her sing!
  [steps on Thumbelina's foot]
  Thumbelina: AHHH-hhhhh!!!
  Mrs. Toad: Bueno! Bueno! You got it!
• After being kidnapped by a family of frog-performers and abandoned on a lily pad against her objections, Thumbelina's frustrations rise to the point where she shouts the following line. Jodi Benson's delivery was spot-on:
  Thumbelina: Doesn't anybody care what I think?!
• When Grundel is sulking, dipping his fingers in the water, his brothers inform him that Thumbelina's escaped and taunt him for his failure & he throws them out before storming out of the pond.
  Mozo: Hey, bro...
  Grundel: Go away!
  Mozo: Pond Doc has said Thumbelina give you the slip, and is gonna marry a fairy prince.
  Grundel: [stands up] What fairy prince?
  Mozo: Ho ho ho! You'll not be able to show your ugly face on the stage no more.
  Gringo: Everybody laugh at you!
  Grundel: Nobody laugh! [Mozo and Gringo laugh] I said NOBODY laughs! [they laugh even harder] I go get Thumbelina and bring her back! [Mozo & Gringo laugh uncontrollably, and an enraged Grundel throws them up in the air] I marry her!
  [Grundel storms off, leaving Mozo and Gringo laughing their heads off]
• Pretty much all five or so of Beetle's scenes. Particularly his first scene, where about half his lines are ad-libbed by his voice actor Gilbert Gottfried.
  Beetle: Hiya, toots! Beetle's the name, and razzmatazz is my game! Nice to meet ya, how's it goin', is everythin' okay?
• Another good one is:
  Beetle: [in the freezing snow, to his lackeys] Now, let's get outta here before we're statistics!
• "Marry the Mole" pretty much in its entirety, due to its sheer So Bad, It's Good quality.
• Doubling as a Sugar Wiki/, Thumbelina telling off Grundel when he crashes the wedding ceremony with Mr. Mole.
  Thumbelina: NO! I no marry you, I’ll go home!
• The fact that Mrs. Toad named one of her sons "Gringo" (said to originate from the words "green" + "go") which is a deragotory term used in Mexico and South America to refer to non-Hispanic people.
