Video: Thumbelina is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, with an optional full screen version as well. I know some children detest widescreen, so if your kids are that way, just flip the disc over and they'll be happy. The overall image looks outstanding, with a sharp picture and few signs of print wear. The colors in this movie are bright and glowing, and the disc makes sure they look their best. The gold hues look particularly enchanting, and the entire movie has a unique "shine" of sorts to it. Very imressive imagery and the disc comes through as well. Black levels are sharp, with no softness, other than the glow, which is intentional. I could not find any problems with the animation, and no compression errors were visible either.

Audio: The Dolby surround track is more than enough to carry this movie. The music sounds very good, even though it's not my style, per se. Of course, with Barry Manilow being the force behind it, I didn't expect it to be. Some minor surround use occurs, usually during magical scenes or by virtue of the score. Dialogue is excellent, with no audibility trouble and great audio separation.

Extras: Warner has included the theatrical trailer, which is cool, but nothing else.
