La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
If you follow your heart
Ho, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
When you follow your heart
Hello. Welcome to Paris, city of love.
Who am I? I am Jacquimo...
...swallow extraordinaire
and lover of beautiful things.
You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
You're sure to fly on magical wings
When you follow your heart
Oh, that is very nice, n'est-ce pas?
And I like what it is saying.
It is saying, "Follow your heart
and nothing is impossible!"
You're sure to do impossible things
Ha, ha! I love the sound of my voice!
When you follow your heart
When you follow
Your heart
I love great romances.
I myself am a swallow
of great passion.
These are stories about people
with impossible problems.
Samson loved Delilah.
Oh, that was really impossible.
Romeo et Juliet, oh, impossible.
But the most impossible of all
the stories is impossibly small.
The story of Thumbelina.
Once upon a time,
there was a lonely woman...
...who longed to have a child
to call her own.
One day she paid a visit
to a good witch...
...who gave her a tiny barleycorn.
"Plant it in a flowerpot," she says,
"and see what happens."
The woman did as she was told...
...and by and by it began growing.
Until at last....
Oh, what a pretty flower!
Hello, Mother.
I will call you "Thumbelina."
Thumbelina.
But can you imagine the troubles
for a little girl...
...no bigger than your thumb, hmm?
Who is the girl no bigger
Than a bumblebee?
Who is the angel
With a funny name?
We don't know where she's from
Or how she came to be
But happy was the day she came
Thumbelina
She's a funny little squirt
Thumbelina
Tiny angel in a skirt
Thumbelina
First she's mending, then baking
Pretending, she's making things up
Thumbelina
Who would believe the wonder
Of the world I see?
Each little minute brings a new surprise
There's only one peculiar thing
That bothers me
Seems I'm the only one my size
Thumbelina
Think of all you'll save on meals
Thumbelina
Maybe if you had high heels
Thumbelina
If you stay here forever
We know that we'll never be glum
By gum
Thumbelina
She is always in the thick
Thumbelina
But I get out in the nick
Thumbelina
Fortune sometimes
Has tricked us
But this time it's picked us
Oh, a plum's so big
- A plum
And a fig's so big
And they call it a twig
But a twig's so big
It's a great big world
Thumbelina
That's me!
Now, here's a story
about the noble dog...
...who saved the king
from the wicked wizard.
Once upon a time--
- Oh, Mother, please.
Are there any stories
about little people?
Well, as a matter of fact
there are, Thumbelina. Look.
They are little, just like me.
But what are those?
They're wings, Thumbelina.
These are fairies, and fairies
have wings so they can fly.
Mother, have you ever seen a fairy?
Well, I thought I did once.
Really?
- Yes.
And here, the fairy prince
and princess are having a wedding.
And they live happily ever after.
Oh, usually, dear.
Hmm. I suppose it works best...
...if two people are
about the same size.
Yes, of course.
Yes....
Well, that's not fair.
I must be the only little person
in the whole world.
I wish I were big.
Oh, no, Thumbelina. No.
Don't ever wish to be anything
but what you are.
Bedtime, my dear.
It's been a long day.
You must go to sleep now.
Sleep tight.
Mother?
Mm-hm?
Would you please leave
the book open?
Of course, dear.
I wanna look
at the pictures while I go to sleep.
There.
Good night, Mother.
Good night, Thumbelina.
You take good care of her, Hero.
Hmm.
I know there's someone
Somewhere
Someone
Who's sure to find me
Soon
After the rain goes
There are rainbows
I'll find my rainbow
Soon
Soon it won't be just pretend
Soon a happy ending
Love, can you hear me?
If you're near me
Sing your song
Sure and strong
And soon
I wonder if there really are
such things as fairies.
Hmm.
Oh, my dear.
Don't look now, dear husband...
...but our son is missing again.
So he is.
I think he feels a bit silly, riding
that white butterfly we gave him.
Why should he feel silly?
It makes the wrong impression
on the young ladies.
What about the impression
on the court?
Colbert, it is the autumn today and
we've begun the golding of the leaves.
He should be here.
Tabitha.
He'll hurt himself.
I hope he's not out buzzing
the vales on that wretched bee.
He is the crown prince,
for heaven's sake.
Tabitha, dear, have you
forgotten what it's like to be 16?
Whoa.
Oh! Hello! What a beautiful voice.
I wonder who she is.
Stay here, boy.
I'll check this out.
Oh. You have to go now? I see.
You are a wonderful dancer.
Will I ever see you again?
May I cut in?
Ah!
No. Wait, wait. Come back.
I apologize.
I didn't mean to frighten you.
Tsk-tsk-tsk.
There. See?
No more sword.
Now, will you come out?
Ah.
Wait a minute.
What are you staring at?
Well, say something, will you?
You're.... Oh!
You're one of them.
I beg your pardon?
I thought I was the only one
my size in the whole world.
Hero, no.
No, he's a friend. Look.
Hello, my name is Thumbelina.
How do you do, sir?
Uh, thank you for coming to visit.
Uh.... Oh. Oh.
No trouble at all.
The pleasure is mine.
Sorry about that.
Thumbelina.
It's a lovely name.
Thank you.
I'm Cornelius.
Cornelius?
Well, that's a funny name.
I mean it's perfect.
Uh....
Tell me about the fairy court.
Is there a prince?
Yes.
He must be terribly handsome.
He is.
Strong and brave.
None like him.
I would love to meet the prince.
I'll tell him.
Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
What was that?
Oh.
That's Buzzby, my bumble.
I left him on the sill.
He doesn't like staying
in one place too long.
Why didn't you say something?
Come on!
Oh, my!
He's amazing!
Hey, would you like to go for a spin?
Come on, let's go.
I wish I had wings.
Maybe someday you will.
Hold on tight. Whoa!
Let me be your wings
Let me be your only love
Let me take you far beyond the stars
Let me be your wings
Let me lift you high above
Everything we're dreaming of
Will soon be ours
Anything that you desire
Anything at all
Every day I'll take you higher
And I'll never let you fall
Let me be your wings
Leave behind the world you know
For another world of wondrous things
We'll see the universe
And dance on Saturn's rings
Fly with me and I will be your wings
She's gonna marry
the prince, huh, Mom?
Well, perhaps.
Anything that you desire
Anything at all
Anything at all
Every day I'll take you higher
And I'll never let you fall
You will be my wings
Let me be your wings
You will be my only love
Get ready for another world
Of wondrous things
Wondrous things are sure to happen
We'll see the universe
We'll see the universe
And dance on Saturn's rings
And dance on Saturn's rings
Heaven isn't too far
Heaven is where you are
Stay with me, I'll let you be my
Stay with me and let me be your
Wings
Wings
This voice is fantstica!
