Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWas filmed on-location at the site of the New York World's Fair, with LaGuardia Airport being so close, it caused trouble with filming because of noise from the planes.
- GoofsWith the second set of opening cast credits shown during the live action sequence, it is stated the actors' name are listed in alphabetical order. However, Sessue Hayakawa is placed before Margaret Hamilton.
- Quotes
Thumbelina: Your size has nothing to do with your real happiness. As long as you're with the people you love and who love you, as long as you can accept yourself for what you really are... that's happiness.
- Crazy creditsContrary to Hollywood convention (and DGA rules), the credit for director Jules Bass appears second to last in the opening credits, just before the credit for writer/producer Arthur Rankin.

Featured review
Delightfully charming!
Delightful musical feature with thought-provoking lessons for both children and adults alike. A magical opening with Ritchard's "Sandman" sets the tone for an equally magical adventure through the mind of Hans Christhian Anderson. A memorable all-star cast accompanied by a whimsical score (who could resist "Isn't It Cozy Here!!"??). Not as good as Rankin/Bass' classic Christmas specials, but a winner, nonetheless.
