Awesome / Thumbelina (1994)

Go To

  • Awesome Music: "Marry The Mole" may be a bad song, but "Let Me Be Your Wings", on the other hand...
  • The jitterbug children (Gnatty, Lil' Bee and Baby Bug) rescuing the frozen Cornelius from the toad. Not to mention, despite not being able to stay with her, they keep a close enough eye on Thumbelina that they're able to tell him exactly where she is, first at Mr. Mole's and then at the Vale of the Fairies.
  • Thumbelina, despite having previously almost crossed the Despair Event Horizon at hearing of Cornelius's apparent death, still snaps out of it, tells Mr. Mole she can't marry him, and proceeds to save herself from the wedding, despite being chased by Mr. Mole, Ms. Fieldmouse, and pretty much all of the guests.
    • When Grundel shows up and declares he will marry her, Thumbelina, now pretty much having had it up to here, has this to say:
      Thumbelina: NO! I no marry you, I’ll go home!
    • Thumbelina releasing an avalanche of coins and treasures on the wedding guests while making her escape.
  • The Cornelius vs. Grundel fight. Cornelius is holding a sword while Grundel is holding a torch! Now that's bravery!
  • Don't forget the ending; just when Thumbelina has given up all thoughts of home and stopped singing "Let Me Be Your Wings" halfway through, convinced Cornelius is dead, she suddenly hears a familiar voice: "AND I'LL NEVER LET YOU FALL!"
