This classic story by the Brothers Grimm is about a five-inch-tall boy, Tom Thumb (Russ Tamblyn), who the magical Forest Queen (June Thorburn) gives to childless couple Jonathan and Anne (Bernard Miles and Jessie Matthews) as a gift for woodcutter Jonathan saving a tree. When villains Ivan and Anthony (Terry Thomas and Peter Sellers) plot to rob the village, Tom becomes the hero as he outwits those who are much larger than himself. Tom also helps with a romance between the Forest Queen and forester Woody (Alan Young). Good acrobatic dances by Tamblyn. The film won the Academy Award for Best Special Effects.
