Barbie Thumbelina is a delightful animated children's movie released in 2009 by Universal Pictures. It stars popular actresses such as Kelly Sheridan, Anna Cummer, Kelly Metzger, and Tabitha St. Germain. The theme of the movie revolves around the beloved fairy tale character Thumbelina, who gets a Barbie makeover in this charming and heartwarming retelling of the classic story.

The movie begins with Thumbelina (voiced by Kelly Sheridan), a tiny girl who lives in harmony with nature in a beautiful flower garden. She is introduced as a curious and creative girl with a unique gift for creating and engineering things. She has a close bond with her friends, the flower fairy, and a group of cutesy animas that live in the garden.

One day, the garden is destroyed beyond recognition by a construction development led by a greedy and ruthless woman named Lydia (voiced by Anna Cummer). Lydia's sole aim is to convert the garden into a residential area for humans. In her quest for greater profits, she hires a bunch of bulldozers and workers to remove everything in the garden, including Thumbelina's home.

Thumbelina sets off on an adventure with her friends, hoping to save their home and find a new one. On her journey, she meets a handsome fairy named Tom Thumb (voiced by Matt Hill), who is equally determined to save their homes. Tom and Thumbelina soon become friends and partners as they navigate through the dangers of the world outside the safety of Thumbelina's garden.

As they travel across various terrains like deserts, rivers, and forests, they encounter many obstacles and setbacks, including dangerous creatures that threaten their safety. Lydia's henchmen are always following them, trying to prevent them from achieving their goal of finding a new home. Their journey takes them to the city of the fairies, where they seek help from the queen of the fairies.

In the end, Thumbelina and Tom discover a utopian world where their species can live in harmony peacefully. They save their homes and everything goes back to normal, except that Thumbelina has some new friends, while Tom goes back to his own kingdom. The film ends with the garden being restored to its original state, and the animals and flower fairies returning home.
