Barbie Thumbelina (2009)

[bunniefuu]

Look at that.

This is so
exciting, Barbie!

Isn't it?

I can't think of a better
way to help the environment.

Okay, everyone, pick a
tree and let's get started!

I want this one!

Oh,
I've got this one!

I want this one!

This one's for me!
Come on.

You're
planting that?

Yes. What's
wrong with it?

It's so small.
Just look at it.

I think Emma's
tree is beautiful.

But it's tiny.

That's true.

But even the smallest tree
can make a big difference.

Really? But how?

Have a seat,
everybody.

I want to tell you
a story.

A story that starts in
a place just like this.

In a beautiful field, filled
with plants and flowers.

The field wasn't
so far from a big city,

but you'd never know it:

If you visited, you would
think you were miles away

from any people
and you'd be right:

But that doesn't mean
the field was empty:

Not even close:

Because this field held the
world of the Twillerbees:

Over here!

Got it! Oh,
here, here, here.

The Twillerbees
were tiny:

The biggest one was no larger
than a grown person's hand:

They lived among
the flowers

and had a very special
relationship with nature,

since they could make
plants grow faster:

The Twillerbees had
no contact with humans:

However, if they should
ever come across one,

they were sure to hide:

But one Twillerbee in
particular wasn't so timid:

Her name
was Thumbelina:

And she was the
bravest of them all:

Janessa! Chrysella!

Thumbelina!

I'm so glad you came.

Are you kidding?

We wouldn't miss it for
the world! For the universe!

For the glactic-humungo-
gimonsterly-huge-iverse!

You really
finished them.

We can really,
truly, honestly fly!

If Twillerbees were
supposed to fly,

we would have been
born with wings.

Hurry, Janessa!

Do you really think
we can get good enough

to fly over the Twillerbaby
patch and watch them bloom?

Sure we can!

They're blooming
in just two days.

Oh.
Which is plenty of time.

No more moving. Moving
leads to bouncing,

bouncing leads to jouncing,
jouncing leads to falling.

And I do not
want to fall.

Can
you imagine it?

Flying over the Twillerbuds
when they open up

to reveal the teeny, tiny
Twillerbabies inside.

It'll be so cute!

It won't be
so cute if I fall.

Oh, you're not gonna fall.
You're gonna fly.

Thumbelina!

Huh?

They work perfectly!
You have to try it!

Look what you can do!

Oh, look
at her fly.

It's amazing! Don't you
think it's... It's amazing!

I want to try it! Don't
you want to try it?

Oh! Let's try it!

No! I don't care
what you say,

if there's one thing
I'm absolutely not doing,

it's jumping off
of this...

Oh, come on.
It'll be fun.

Just look at Thumbelina!
Go, Thumbelina, go!

Flap,
Janessa, flap!

Thumbelina!

I'll save you, Janessa!

Okay, okay.
This is good.

I... I think I've got it.
I've got it!

Thumbelina!
Chrysella!

Oh, my nose.

You're squishing me.
Get off!

Ooh! That was fun!
Let's do it again!

Chrysella, look at me.

It'll take forever
to get this fluff off.

No, it won't.
Just shake.

See?

Oopsie.

Chrysella! Janessa!
That was amazing!

You did it! You flew!

No, we did not fly.
We fell!

And I got covered
with fluff.

Which looks so good
with your purple dress!

But I'm surprised your
hay fever didn't act up.

Chrysella!
Oh, now it's in my head.

That means I'm sure to...

Thank you.

Twillerbees aren't
supposed to fly, Thumbelina.

It's just not possible.

Anything's possible if you
truly believe you can do it.

And you did it!

Yes, well, I guess I did
manage to fly a little.

Lola!

Something's coming?

What was that?

I know!
A belly rumbling!

Somebody's hungry.

Is it you, Lola?

No, that's not
a Lola rumble.

If that's a belly, it's
the belly of a giant.

Humans?

Humans?

We have to go home now.
We'll be safer there.

But humans almost
never come here.

We should check it out.

But what if they see us?

Rule number one in the
Twillerbee handbook,

Twillerbees and humans
don't mix!

What Twillerbee handbook?

The one I'm writing!

And everyone will follow it
because it will keep us safe

and stop us from doing
crazy things like flying

and peeking out at humans making
loud belly-rumbling sounds.

Which even if it was a good
idea, which it is not...

Huh? Hey,
wait for me!

What's this for?

Hold on!

Whoa!

Right here, Lola!

Whoa!

That was so much fun!

It wasn't so bad.

Look!

Wow!

Huh?

You put sunglasses
on your cat?

Isn't he an indoor cat?

Yes, but they're
Natalie Chang sunglasses:

Oh, Sprinkles, I don't think you
want to jump off the bed in those:

Mom? Dad?

Mmm-hmm?

Violet's cat has a pair
of Natalie Chang sunglasses

and Poofles doesn't.

Is it just me, or is
this a massive injustice?

You can get Poofles whatever
sunglasses you want, sweetie.

Bug!

This is the place, Myron.
Up here on the left.

Okay, now tell me again
your plan of action.

What are humans
doing here?

Whatever it is,
it can't be good.

We should wait and
see what they're up to.

Oh, by the way, my parents
bought me an island today:

Your own island?

Pretty much: I mean, there's some
random people doing whatever on it,

but my parents paid
to name it after me:

So if I want to go take it
over one day, I can:

What's the name of
island again, Daddy?

Violet Island,
sweetheart!

Real creative, Dad:

Never mind what
it's called: It's mine:

That's great.
And so cool

that you don't mind being the
last person in the universe

to hop on the
private island thing.

Hmm: So what'd you get today, anything?

Uh, yeah. And
it's very original.

Daddy, I want that!

Hold on a sec.
What, honey?

That field of flowers right
there. I want them in my room.

Sure, sweetie. See that flower
patch on our left, Myron?

Yeah, I'm going to
need that whole thing

brought to our
place in the city.

You got it. Carla! Rick! Bring it over!

Sure thing, boss.

Ooh! Look how
big they are.

And that one's so yellow.
It's like a flower.

In what way is that
possibly like a flower?

I told you, it's yellow.

Just cut out this section here and
load it up on the flatbed. Boss' orders.

Yeah? Sounds crazy.

Hey, we're the little guy.
We don't ask, we just do.

Huh?

Did you hear something?

Hmm...

You mean something
like a teeny, tiny sneeze?

Yeah.

No.

Me neither.

We should go.

Whoa, look at the giant comb.

Is it safe?
I don't hear anything.

Shh!
Wait.

I hear someone shushing.

That was me, Chrysella.
Now keep quiet.

Someone might hear you.

If there was someone here,
we'd hear them.

I'm checking it out.

Thumbelina!

Wow.

Are there any humans?

No, no, there's
no one here.

But what is
this place?

I've never seen
anything like it.

Um, guys?

Having a little
trouble here, guys?

Whoa.

I think we're a
long way from...

Home!

Chrysella!

Hold on!

Thumbelina!

Huh?

Lola!

Um, guys? I'm having
a little trouble here.

You followed us.
Good girl.

I can't get to you.

Huh?

Well, hello, there.

Fuzzy face.

What a big nose
you have.

Aren't you just
the cutest little...

Chrysella!

Good dog.
Nice doggie.

Hey? What's going on out there?

I think
I've got it.

I've got it.

I've got it!
Hello, world!

Flap, Janessa!

Flap!

Thank you.

Scatter!

How do we get
out of here?

I don't know yet.

This is very bad.

Hey! What's
going on in there?

We have to hide!

Where? I just heard a loud
noise coming from my room.

This way!

Poofles is probably
getting into trouble again.

Hold on a sec, Vi.

Vi, I'll call you back.

Poofles!

What did you do?

What is it?

Huh?

Poofles, I think Mom and
Dad got me some new dolls

for my collection.

Hmm?

Huh?

Honestly, Poofles.
Here.

Sorry, Vi. What were we talking about?

Oh, yeah, you were going to
tell me how jealous you are

of my indoor
flower field.

Here, I'll send
you a picture.

You know it's going to be
the biggest trend ever,

and you can say it was
started by your BFF.

What was that, Vi?

Phew!

Oh, yeah.

Well, I guarantee you
everyone will want one.

The door's open.
We can get out of here.

What about the dog?

Lola has him distracted.

Come on.

Why go to the country, when you
can bring the country to you?

No, Violet, the flower
patch is not trash.

Yes, I know my parents are destroying
the whole field for their new factory.

That doesn't make it trash,
it makes it recycled.

It's green, Violet.

Apology accepted.

Did she just say her parents
are destroying our field?

Maybe there's another meaning
for the word "destroying. "

A friendly meaning.
Like, redecorating.

How dare she!

Thumbelina!

Who do you
think you are?

What? What
are you saying?

Who do I think I am?

Vi, I'll call
you back.

You had no right to
take those flowers!

And you're crazy if you think I'm
going to let you destroy that field.

My home for
some factory.

That field is a
living, breathing...

What is this, a little
robot my parents made?

Huh?

Hmm. Must be
a prototype.

A proto what?

Hmm...

Whoa! Stop that!

I can't see
any switches.

And it doesn't
feel like plastic.

Hey! Cut it out!

Really solid construction. I like it.

Put me down!

Feisty little robot,
aren't you?

I'm not a robot!
I'm a Twillerbee!

A Twillerbee?

Yes! And your mom and dad
are destroying my home

to build their factory.

This is perfect.

If you don't have a home,
you'll have to stay here.

And I guarantee
I'll be the only girl in town

with her very own tiny person.

Violet will be so jealous.

Your own tiny...

What makes you think
I belong to you?

And even if I had no home,
why would I ever stay here?

Maybe because you
won't be able to get out.

Poofles!

Go! I'll distract them.

Good girl, Lola.
Thank you.

That was way too close.

Really? I thought
it was exciting.

Lola, do you know the way
back to the Twillerbee village?

Great.
You have to go back.

We have to?
Well, what about you?

Aren't you coming
with us?

I'm going back in there.

Are you crazy?

Oh, Thumbelina, I don't
think that's such a good idea.

You're way too small to make
any difference in what they do.

So, we just give up?

And leave our
field forever?

It's our only choice.

No, it's not.

We're small, that doesn't
mean we're helpless.

You go back and delay the workers,

and I'll stay here and find
some way to stop them for good.

Be careful, Thumbelina.

You, too.

Lola, you can come
back for me, right?

Perfect. Then
I'll see you soon.

Poofles!
Check the flower patch.

There's got to
be more of them.

Hmm.

...interested in
sponsoring the skate park.

Yes, I realize
you have other offers,

and I know some companies are
offering you a little more money,

but we have a reputation
that's far superior to...

Oh!

I'm sorry, Adam. I just
hate small flying things.

When I see them,
I just...

Sorry about that.

Okay, so where were we?

Yeah. Yes, we're just about to
break ground for the new factory,

even as we speak.
I know, I know.

We've always been seen
as the little guy,

the small company going
against the behemoth.

Yeah.
No, no, no, no!

Tell the investors
not to worry.

Nothing will stand in the way
of us building this factory.

Nothing!

Mom, Dad?

Hold on a minute.
Yes, sweetie?

Did you see anything
small fly through here?

I sure hope not.

No really. Like a doll, about this big.

Oh, sweetie, you have
such an imagination.

You want a doll?
No problem.

Anything for you,
sweetheart. Anything at all!

Hmm.

Honey, we have
to take this call.

Okay, how many other offers
in the building right now?

Uh-huh. Yes, yes.

Poofles! Have you
found any more?

We have to find one.
Violet will be so impressed.

There's one right here.

Huh?

Wait, I can help
you impress Violet.

Impress Violet?

How?

I'll show you.

That's incredible.
How did you...

I've been doing everything to
bring that plant back to life.

Are those berries?

Yes. Blueberries.

Come on, puppy.
Give it a try.

Oh! Good dog.

It's beautiful.

Yes, it is.

I'll help you impress
Violet on two conditions.

One, you talk to your parents and
convince them not to build their factory.

Two, you tell no one
about me. I mean it.

Hello? If I can't
tell Violet about you,

how am I supposed to impress her?

Here.

No way! Violet would
freak for a bag like this.

It looks like a Natalie
Chang, but it's way cooler.

Can you do
more of these?

Yes, as many
as you want.

So? Do we
have a deal?

Hmm.

Deal!

Hey!

What are you doing? Huh?

Nothing, boss.

I was just showing
Louie this flower, here.

I find its aroma
particularly compelling.

With a hint of whimsy.

You smell whimsy?
I smell whimsy, too.

We do not smell
the flowers.

We're ripping apart
this entire field.

No more smelling! No smelling,
no looking, no appreciating.

Ripping, tearing,
destroying! Got it?

Got it, Myron.

Good.

After lunch,
we're breaking ground.

Okay, everyone. We
have until after lunch.

Let's go.

Hold on a minute,
that's the other line.

What's up, Myron?
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

What do you mean,
there's a problem?

You can't start digging
until tomorrow?

Yes.

What happened?

I don't know, sir.
The machines, they...

It's hard to explain.

But don't worry. Tomorrow
morning we'll start digging

to get rid of all this
garbage, believe you me.

I hate flowers.

Nice bag.
Who is it?

She's a new designer,
the next big thing.

Name?

Belina. She only
goes by one name.

Says her last name got
between her and her fans.

Hmm.

My mom comes home from
Italy in the morning,

so I'll have all the new
pieces she's bringing me back.

Oh. You will?

Of course.

You didn't think you were the only one
who could discover a new designer, did you?

No, of course not.

So, tomorrow then.

I can bring
Ashlynn, too.

She'll help us decide who
found the better designer.

Sure.

Absolutely bring her.

I have something else
I want to show you.

Something even better
than a new designer.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

Something no other human
being in the universe has.

I'm intrigued.

Ashlynn and I will be
here tomorrow afternoon.

And we'll expect
to be impressed.

Oh, you will be.

Makena.

Makena, you've got
to talk to your parents.

Oh, sure.

Hey, Mom? Dad?

Yes, honey?

Can you stop building
your new factory?

Sure, sweetie. When
it's all done. Love you!

There. I asked.

You have to try
harder than that.

Thumbelina, my parents
are rushing to finish work

and getting
ready to go out.

If you want me to have the kind of talk
you're asking for, it has to be tomorrow.

Okay. Tomorrow then.

But please, first thing.
My home depends on it.

Deal.

Okay, people.
Get your rest tonight.

But be here bright and
early tomorrow morning.

Sure thing, boss.
Bright and early.

Good night, boss.

See you tomorrow.

Makena.

Makena.

Oh! Poofles!

Good morning.

I know. It's time to talk to my parents.

Come on, Makena. You know
how important this is.

All right.
Let's give it a try.

You can tell the investors
that this new factory

is going to be a massive
boom for our bottom-line.

If all goes well,
we'll double our...

Hi, Mom.
Hi, Dad.

Hey, sweetie!

Good morning, honey!

We're making your
favorite breakfast.

Okay, talk to you soon.

So, there's
something I want.

Morning, Myron. Is the
equipment all fixed?

Good morning, sir. The machines
are all fixed, the crew is ready

and as long as everything goes smoothly,

we should be back on
track by lunchtime today.

Myron?

Myron, is everything
okay? Myron?

Myron?

Sir, I'm gonna have
to call you back.

Myron?

Honey, one of us has got to
get down to the factory site.

I'll go. You deal
with the contractors.

Sunny-side up. Just
the way you like them.

Love you, honey.

Love you, Mom.

So, Dad...

Hey, it's me. I need to
put a hold on that cement.

We still haven't
broken ground.

Dad, I'd really like you to not
build your factory on that site.

That much extra?
Whoa!

No, no, look into that. See
if there's a way around it.

You don't want us to build
before you get more flowers?

Done. We'll cut you
another patch, even bigger.

No, Dad, it's
not the flowers.

Then what is
it you'd like?

Whatever it is, just
name it, it's yours.

That's the problem.
It's not really a thing.

It's kind of
a bigger issue.

No, no, that's not
what they said at all.

I have the original document on
my computer. Let me call it up.

I'm so sorry, sweetie,
I have to handle this.

Tell me what
you want later.

I promise we'll go
get it, okay? Love you.

Yes. Yes, I know.

Well, they assured me that they
were flexible with the delivery,

as long as we gave
them enough notice.

Well, see the problem is...

There, I tried.

Great.
See you there, Vi.

Makena, what was that picture
in your parents' office?

The beautiful
painting of a garden?

Oh, my dad made that.

He said when he
and Mom hit it big

we'd have a place like that and sit
together for tea inside every day.

Dorky, right?

No, that's not
dorky at all.

I've got to go see Vi.

Lola! Good timing.

I need your help.

Look at this mess.

Now I've got to get the
mechanics back out here.

We're going to
lose another day.

Do you understand
what you've done?

But, boss,
the machines,

they went out
of control.

What?

You okay, boss?

I'm good, thanks. You?

Good. I'm good.
We all good?

Yeah, yeah.
Sure, yeah.

Good, yeah. Good.

You good, boss?

Stop that!

But, boss, strange
things are happening here.

Don't you think someone is
trying to tell us something?

Yeah. Like we should
leave this place alone.

Enough! You think
this place is haunted?

Nonsense!

That's the most ridiculous
thing I've heard in all my life!

Just be here first
thing tomorrow!

No excuses.
No issues.

Nothing but this field
getting flattened.

Got it?

Got it, boss!

Haunted!

Hmm.

Tomorrow, all of this
will be destroyed.

Yes, Vi. Of course I still want
you and Ashlynn to come over.

And, yes, make sure you're prepared for
the most unique thing you have ever seen.

Thumbelina?

Thumbelina?

Hi, Makena.

I have an
amazing idea.

I want to give
you a makeover.

You do?

Yes.

Today is very important

and I want you to look
absolutely perfect.

Why is it
so important?

Because it's important for a
girl to look her best every day.

So, why not today?

Okay.

Besides, while I was out, I saw some
things that would look perfect in your hair.

Here.

You got all that for me?

Of course.

Now,

sit.

Wow. I've never had
a makeover before.

Really? What do you and
your friends do instead?

Everything.

We run around,
we play, we laugh

and we can talk
about anything.

It's funny, because Janessa and
Chrysella and I are so different.

But we just work
together, you know?

I guess because we know
we care about each other,

more than just about
anything else in the world.

That's really nice.

Yeah, it is.

We Twillerbees take our
friendships pretty seriously.

That's why I was shocked
that you and I became friends.

You think
we're friends?

Yes, don't you?

Yeah, I really do.

Here, you're all done.

What do you think?

Oh, Makena.
It's beautiful.

Thank you.

I'm glad you like it.

I'll be right back.

I have to make
a quick phone call.

Not yet. I need to show
you something first.

I promise, it'll
just take a minute.

Not yet.
Come on, please?

Just follow me
to the roof-deck.

Wow!

Thumbelina!

I just wanted to do
something nice for you.

I don't know
what to say.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, wow, I really need
to make a phone call. Um...

Makena?

Violet! Ashlynn!

Your dad let us in.

We were waiting in
the hallway forever.

Cha!

Oh, um...

You knew
we were coming.

You told us to come.

I did?

Cha!

I mean, I did, but...

So what are you
doing out here?

And why are you
talking to yourself?

Oh, was I?

Um, yeah.

And where's the most unique
thing we've ever seen?

You know, something that no other
human being in the universe has?

Or does it not
really exist?

Hmm.

It doesn't really
exist, does it?

You made it up.
I knew it.

Come on, Lola.

Let's go home.

You hear that Ashlynn?

Makena made it all up.

She doesn't have
anything special at all.

And that makes you
happy, doesn't it?

You love that
I messed up.

Of course I do.

That's what friends
are for, right?

No, it's not.

Not the kind
of friend I want.

Excuse me.

You heard me.

You're not my friends.

I want you to
leave my house.

Now, please.

Nobody throws
me out, Makena.

You do this and you're nobody to me.

I'm fine with that,
Violet.

Your choice.

Come on, Ashlynn, let's go
someplace worthy of our presence.

Cha!

Thumbelina?

Thumbelina?

Oh...

Mom,
I'm going biking.

Okay, honey.
Be back before dinner.

Thumbelina!

Oh!

Oh!

Thumbelina,
can you hear me?

Thumbelina!

I need to talk to you.

Are you here?

Thumbelina!

Thumbelina,
please come out!

I'm sorry!

Fine!

You don't want to come out,
you don't have to come out.

But I'm going say
what I came to say.

I sent Violet home.

Before I knew you left.

Maybe that doesn't matter
to you, but it matters to me.

I did it to protect you.

And because she was
never my friend.

You're my friend,
Thumbelina.

You're not coming out?

Fine. I'll still save
this field, though.

I don't know how,
but I'll do it.

I promise.

I'm right here,
Makena.

Thumbelina!

You never should have
tried to show me to Violet.

I'm so sorry,
Thumbelina.

Apology accepted.

I want to show you
something.

Here we are.

Here we are?

Come on!

Wow.

Everyone, I'd like
you to meet someone.

It's okay.

You don't need to
be afraid of her.

She's going to help
us save our home.

She's my friend.

These are my best friends,
Janessa and Chrysella.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Hi. I like your dog.

Thanks.

Wow! There are
so many of you.

And more are coming.

Follow me.

Wow!

These are the Twillerbuds.

Inside each one is
a tiny Twillerbaby,

just waiting to be born when
the flowers open tomorrow.

So, if the excavators
dig up the field...

We can't let
that happen.

What are we gonna do?

I have an idea.

Hmm...

We did it.

We did!

So, Janessa, Chrysella,
let Lola fly you home.

Try to keep everyone calm.

It's going to be okay.

I sure hope so.

Bye, Makena.

Bye, Poofley-poo.

Oh, I love you, too.

Now, we just need
to get to your parents.

Let's do it!

Great, that's great.

Myron has the
new equipment.

They're finally ready
to break ground.

Fantastic!

Yes. Uh-huh.

Okay. Keep us posted
Myron. Thanks, bye.

My cell phone.

What about it?

It's gone.

What?

Huh?

Evan!

Wow!

Whoa!

Wow!

Thanks, Poofles.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

Wow! Makena.

This is amazing.

Does it look familiar?

Yes, kind of.

It should, because
you designed it.

This is what you said you'd do when
the business took off, remember?

Sit in a beautiful
greenhouse, have tea.

Would you like a cup?

Please.

You really put a lot of
thought into this, didn't you?

And a lot of time.

I have something to say to
you, and I need you to listen.

Really listen. Please.

What is it, honey?
Is everything okay?

It's not. I need you to stop
construction on your new factory.

What? Why?

You just... You can't
destroy that field.

It's important.
Trust me.

Honey, I know you love
the flowers there,

but we can find those same
flowers someplace else.

No, you don't
understand.

Uh... Um...

There are living
things there!

Sweetie, whatever
you want, just tell us.

You don't have to
make crazy demands.

But...

Makena, we love you, but
you're being irrational.

Stop! You're
not listening!

I'm telling you, you can't
build a factory there.

You just can't!

Ending the construction
is out of the question.

And really, we're talking
about just one little field.

It doesn't make that
much of a difference.

But...

Your mother's
right, honey.

To you it's just
one little field.

Huh?

But to me,
it's my whole world.

Hello:
Hello?

Mom, Dad,
this is Thumbelina.

She's a Twillerbee.

A Twillerbee?

And that field is
filled with Twillerbees.

Tons of them.

And Twillerbabies that are
going to be born today.

But not if the
field is destroyed.

Destroyed? Oh, no...

The phones!

The phones?

You're still worried
about work?

I've got it.

Before we got your page, I got a
call from Myron, the crew chief.

They're about
to break ground.

No!

He's not answering!

All right,
this is it!

We've had our share of
delays, but not anymore!

Now is the time to
destroy this place!

So let's rip up
this field! Yeah!

Huh?

You want me to dock your pay for the
damage to the equipment yesterday?

You wouldn't.

You couldn't.

You shouldn't.

Boss, we don't have
that kind of money.

So then what're
you waiting for?

Let's rip up this field!

Yeah!

Yeah.

It's no good.

But you are in charge!

Honey, we started the project,
but if he's not answering...

Then you have to call
him off in person.

Yes. You're right.

Let's go.

We'll get there in time.

I know it.

I hope so.

Now start digging!

Are the birds ready, Lola?

Great!

That was weird.

Huh?

What's going on?

Is it raining?

That's not rain,
it's hail!

Huh?

That's not hail,
it's the birds!

This is no good! Ow!

This place is haunted
or something!

I don't think we
should be here!

Look, nature boy,
I don't want to hear it.

All of you, quit your whining, get
your machines moving and get to work!

I'm telling you, this
field is not haunted!

Come on!

It's like this
all the way there.

We can take a back route,
but the exit's not for a mile.

In this traffic, that
could take a half hour.

That's too long.

Pop the trunk, please.

There's a bike path
just off the road.

Be careful, honey.

I will.

Thumbelina.

I won't let you down again.

We'll see you there!

We love you!

I love you, too!

Beautiful!
Don't you look lovely.

Now!

Do you see that?

This place is haunted.

I think it's coming
this way.

No!

I don't want to be
anywhere near that thing!

No, no, no! This is
not happening again.

Whoa!
Get me out of here!

The giant flower
is gonna eat us!

The birds,
they're chasing us!

Where are you going,
you cowards?

Save me! The giant
flower is gonna eat us!

Don't bother
coming back!

I can finish this myself!

It's a flower.
It's just a big flower.

He's not stopping!

Everyone!
Run!

I hate flowers.

Keep going, Makena!

We've got to get
there in time.

I'm talking
to whatever's out there

that has been messing
with my demolition!

I'm done with
the interruptions!

I don't care if I
have to work through

hailstorms, flat tires,
hauntings, earthquakes, tornadoes,

or the end of the
world itself.

I'm ripping up this field.

And I'm ripping it up now!

I always knew we were small, but
I never felt it until right now!

Everybody, run!

Come on, Makena!
You can do it!

I know you can!

Oh, no.

Hurry, Makena!

Stop!

Huh? What is going on?

I'm not letting you
tear up this field!

And who do you think...

Hey, you're Evan and
Vanessa's kid, aren't you?

I am.

And in the name of my parents, I'm
telling you to stop this project!

In the name of your
parents. That's cute.

Now get out of the
way of my equipment.

Never!

Look, I don't care whose kid
you are, you're just a kid,

and you're getting in
between me and my job.

Now move, or I'll
move you myself.

I'm not moving.

That's it.

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

Put me down!

Put me down,
you big pile of bolts!

Makena!
Are you all right?

Huh?

You knew
she was here?

I didn't realize.
Of course, if I had...

The project's off, Myron.

But...

It's over, Myron.
Thank you.

But it was my project.

I was going to
level everything.

It was going
to be beautiful.

You heard my dad,
it's over.

But... Hey!

What?

There's something very
wrong with this place!

Makena, that took
a lot of courage.

Yes, we're very
proud of you.

Me, too!

Thanks, Makena.

And thank you for caring
enough to save my world.

The Twillerbabies!
Let's go!

Whoa.

This is amazing.

This is it.
Are you ready?

Yes!

Me, too.

Can you
give us a boost?

One, two, three!

Thanks again from all
of us Twillerbees.

I can't believe how close
we came to destroying

all of this.

But if we wanted to build
here, someone else will, too.

How do we protect it and still
keep the Twillerbees a secret?

Hmm.

I think I have
an idea.

And with that,

Makena and her family
created a nature reserve,

protecting the
Twillerbees' meadow forever.

So, you see, Thumbelina and
the Twillerbees were small.

Even Makena was small compared
to the grown-ups all around her.

But together they made
a huge difference.

Just like
my little tree.

Exactly.

And just like all of you,

the trees you plant today

will grow up to help
clean the environment

and bring joy to people
for years to come.

Um, Barbie?

Yes, Lucas?

The nature reserve that Makena's
parents built for the Twillerbees,

is it this nature reserve?

That is an
excellent question.

I wonder...

Is it?
Is it, Barbie?

No way!
Where are they?

There's only one way
to find out,

and that's to keep
your eyes and ears open.

Twillerbees are very
good at staying hidden.

But it is Twillerbaby
blooming time.

Can we go
look for them?

Of course.

Just stay where
I can see you.

This way, come on.

Wow, I think I
saw something.

Hey, over here.

Barbie?

Yes, Emma?

Does Thumbelina
really exist?

What do you think?

Yeah.

That was a great story!

I did not get
stuck in a flower.

Come on, you two.

Let's give them
a Twillerbee surprise.

Wow!
