Thumbelina watches her friend, the swallow, fly away into the sunshine carrying with him all hope of her freedom. She agrees to marry the blind mole out of gratitude. As summer approaches and with it her wedding day, Thumbelina finds herself being doubtful of keeping her word. Must she find her way to freedom or be a loyal friend to the field mouse? On the last day of the winter, when she has lost all hope, help comes in the form of her winged friend.

It is winter and Thumbelina is given shelter by a kind field mouse in her time of need. She leads a peaceful but dull life in the field mouse's house under a corn field. They have a regular visitor, their neighbour, the rich blind mole who asks for Thumbelina's hand in marriage. Crest-fallen and helpless, Thumbelina gives in to the field mouse's requests to accept the offer.

Thumbelina is an old lady's wish that came true. She is a pretty little maiden who is no bigger than a thumb. Raised with love and showered with care, Thumbelina is without worries. Then comes an ugly frog who comes peering through an open window. She carries Thumbelina away to get her married to her hideous son. But with the help of some fishes, she manages to escape and finds herself travelling to strange lands filled with even stranger experiences.
