Headscratchers / Barbie Presents Thumbelina

Go To

  • Okay, so the Twillerbees convinced Makena's parents not to build a skateboard factory on their field. But did they build it somewhere else? Barbie neglects to mention this. If not, then what happened to all the jobs the factory would have provided?
    • It's a story being told to some random kids Barbie is helping grow trees, did you really expect it to make sense?
  • Why is it called "Thumbelina"? It is not the story of Thumbelina at all, they just put a little fairy girl and copied her name from the fairytale.
    • Better yet, what would Hans Christian Andersen think if he was alive today and saw this movie?
    • Barbie might have just forgotten to mention about the factory, she really just wanted to get the nature lesson down... It’s also possible she’s just more used to telling more classic literature, in their time period with the elements she likes so having to tell a modern version of a story she might not be as into messes her up, which gave the story plot holes... I’m also not even sure the author would like the good stories based on his books so he’d likely hate this one.
