Tome Thursday: A Wingless Hope

 

Hello everyone!

 

And if you're tempted to start singing and dancing the conga ... be my guest.

 

There aren't really any toads along for this one BUT, that doesn't mean we can't have fun, eh?

 

In any event, I picked the book off BookSirens, like I do with so many of my other choices, naturally.

 

Why?

 

Well, because it was a Thumbelina re-telling, of course!

 

I'm a sucker for Thumbelina. It's a lovely tale and it's been adapted into probably one of my favourite cartoons of all time, with just the right amount of comedy and romance to make it amazing.

 

So naturally, when I randomly stumbled over the copy of this book on BookSirens, I had to grab it.

 

Make sure to shake off all that fairy dust from your wings, then, as we take flight and learn all about secret heritage and family manipulation in A Wingless Hope!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Thumbelina

 

"Always follow your heart."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Back again and we continue on the old animated cartoons vibe, because why not, am I right?

 

Honestly, I'm convinced half the reason why Disney keeps making live action versions of their animated material is because they can't come up with anything new or exciting.

 

The nineties were the way to go for animation, if you ask me (not counting the OGs that started while Walt Disney was actually alive and thriving, at that).

 

So tonight we go with another fairy tale retelling, though this one I think has a lot in common with Pinocchio if you think about it, which I'll be doing towards the end of the review, as it struck me while I was watching the cartoon.

 

First, however, we kinda have to actually figure out what the cartoon is all about, am I right?

 

So get the popcorn ready, get your Kleenex for the feels, and double check there aren't any moles running around without a care in the world.

 

Thumbelina's up next.
