The Sid Williams Theatre Society’s family film series continues with the Hans Christian Andersen classic Thumbelina, set to screen on Sunday, Jan. 15 at 2 p.m.
She sprang from a flower and is barely the size of a thumb, but her love is gigantic. The treasured fairy tale comes to life in this magnificently magical, animated musical featuring the voice talents of Carol Channing, John Hurt, Charo, Gilbert Gottfried, and more.
Thumbelina (Jodi Benson) thinks she is the only tiny person in the whole world, but when she meets Prince Cornelius (Gary Imhoff), the prince of the fairies, she knows she has found true love. But one night while sleeping, she is snatched from her bed and taken on a harrowing journey where she meets Mrs. Toad (Charo) and Mr. Beetle (Gottfried), who want to make her a star. While Thumbelina struggles to find a way home to her prince, she learns who her true friends are, the consequences of fame…and the importance of hope.
Don’t miss this fun and affordable afternoon for the whole family. Admission is pay what you can by donation. There will be popcorn and prizes. Doors open at 1 p.m. and the film begins at 2 p.m.
