Opening/Ash and friends meet Thumbelina[]
(The film opens where there's a windmill daylight in the sky appears and the camera pans to Paris then a bird named Jacquimo appears flying and singing happily.)
Jacquimo: Hello. Welcome to Paris, city of love. Who am I? I am Jacquimo...swallow extraordinaire and lover of beautiful things. (singing and continues flying) You're sure to do impossible thing. If you follow your heart, you're sure to fly on magical wings When you follow your heart. Oh, that is very nice, n'est-ce pas? And I like what I was saying. It is saying, "Follow your heart and nothing is impossible"! (laughing, singing) 🎶 You're sure to do impossible things. 🎶 (laughs) I love the sound of my voice! (kisses and sings) 🎵When you follow your heart When you follow Your heart! 🎵 I love great romances. I myself am swallow of great passion. (chuckles and speaks French) There are stories about people with impossible problems. (reading the book title) Samson and Delilah. Oh, that was really impossible. Romeo and Juliet, oh, impossible. (chuckles) But the most impossible of all the stories is impossibly small. The story of Thumbelina. (the book opens) (narrating) Once upon a time, there was a lonely woman...who longed to have a child to call her own. One day she paid a visit to a good witch...who gave her a tiny barley corn. "Plant it in a flowerpot," she says, "and see what happens." The woman did as she was told...and by and by it began growing. (the scene changes to a woman watering a plant) Until at last...
Mother: Oh, what a pretty flower!
(She kisses the flower and it blooms, but it appears to be a tiny young woman named Thumbelina. She yawns while waking up.)
Thumbelina: Hello, Mother.
(She climbs on her mother's hands.)
Mother: I will call you "Thumbelina."
Jaquumo: Thumbelina. But can you imagine the troubles for a little girl no bigger than your thumb, huh?

Thumbelina: (singing) Who would believe the wonder of the world I dare see? Each little moment brings a new surprise. There's only one peculiar fact that bothers me. Seems I'm the only one my size.
All Animals: (singing) Thumbelina!
Bull: (singing) Think of all, we'll save on meals.
All Animals: (singing) Thumbelina!

All Animals: (singing) Thumbelina! Fortune sometimes has tricked us, but this time it's picked us.
Thumbelina: (singing) Oh, a plum's so big. And a fig so big, and they call it a twig. But a twig's so big.

Thumbelina: That's me!
(Fade to: Bedtime in Mother's house)
Mother: Now here's a story about the noble dog who saved the king from the wicked wizard. Once upon a time.....
Thumbelina: Oh, Mother, please...are there any stories about––about little people?
Mother: Well, as a matter of fact there are, Thumbelina. Look.
Thumbelina: Woah! They are little, just like me. But...but what are these?
Mother: They're wings, Thumbelina. These are fairies. And fairies have wings where they can fly.
Thumbelina: Mother, have you ever seen a fairy?
Mother: Well, I thought I did once.
Thumbelina: Oh. Really?
Mother: Yes, and here the fairy prince and princess are having a wedding.
Thumbelina: And they live happily ever after.
Mother: Usually, darling.
Thumbelina: Huh. I–I suppose it works best if two people are about the same size.
Mother: Yes, of course.
Thumbelina: Yes, Well, that's not fair. I-I must be the only little person in the whole world. I wish I were big.
Mother: (gently) Oh, no, Thumbelina. No, don't ever wish to be anything what you are. Bedtime, my dear. (Thumbelina climbs onto her mother's hand) It's been a long day. You must go to sleep now. (puts Thumbelina into her tiny bed) Sleep tight.
Thumbelina: Mother?
Mother: Mmm-hmm?
Thumbelina: Will you please leave the book open?
Mother: Of course, dear. (carries her to the window)
Thumbelina: I want to look at the pictures while I go to sleep.
Mother: (opens the book) There.
Thumbelina: Good night, Mother.
Mother: Good night, Thumbelina. You take good care of her, Hero. (Hero agrees)
Soon/Thumbelina meets Prince Cornelius[]
(Mother leaves the room while Thumbelina stares longingly at the fairy prince in the book then she begins to sing.)
Thumbelina: (singing) I know there's someone somewhere Someone who's sure to find me soon After the rain goes there are rainbows I'll find my rainbow soon, Soon it won't be just pretend Soon a happy ending Love, can you hear me Sing your song Sure and strong And soon!
(Ash and Pikachu who are listening to Thumbelina's song as they sigh happily.)
Thumbelina: I wonder if there really are such stuff as fairies. Huh.
(Transition to: The outside)
Queen Tabitha: Oh, my darling. Don't look now, daring husband, but our son is missing again.
King Colbert: Then he is. I think he feels a bit silly riding that white butterfly we gave him.
Queen Tabitha: Why should he feel silly?
King Colbert: It–It–It doesn't quite make the right impression on the young ladies?
Queen Tabitha: Well, what about the impression on the court? Colbert, my love, it is the autumn today and we have begun the golding of the leaves. He should be here.
King Colbert: Tabitha–––
Queen Tabitha: He'll hurt himself. I just hope he's not out buzzing the vales on that wretched bumblebee. He is the crown prince, for heaven's sake.
King Colbert: Tabitha, darling, have you forgotten what it's like to be sixteen?
(Cut to: Cornelius arriving at Thumbelina's window)
Cornelius: Woah! Oh. Hello. What a beautiful voice. I wonder who she is. Stay here, boy, I'll check this out.
Thumbelina: (hums "Soon") Oh, you have to go now? Ah, I dare see. You are a wonderful dancer. Will I ever see you again?
Cornelius: May I cut in?
Thumbelina: Oh!
Cornelius: Don't, no, wait–wait, come back! Oh, I–I apologize. I didn't mean to frighten you. Oh. There, you see? No more sword. Now, will you come out? Ah. What...wait a moment. What are you staring at? Well, say something, will you?
Thumbelina: You're...oh! You're one of them!
Cornelius: Uh, I beg your pardon?
Thumbelina: I thought I was the only one my size in the entire world.
Hero: (snarls)
Thumbelina: Hero, no, no...no, no, no, he's a friend. Look. Hello, my name is Thumbelina, how do you do, sir? Uh...thank you, thank you for coming to visit.
Cornelius: Oh, oh, oh, no damage at all, the pleasure is mine.
Thumbelina: Ooh, I'm sorry about that.
Cornelius: Thumbelina, oh, it's a lovely name.
Thumbelina: Thank you.
Cornelius: I'm Cornelius.
Thumbelina: Cornelius. Well, that's a funny name. Oh, I–I mean it's perfect. Uh, warn me about the fairy court. Is there a prince?
Cornelius: Yes...?
Thumbelina: He must be horribly handsome.
Cornelius: Oh, he is.
Thumbelina: Strong and brave.
Cornelius: None like him.
Thumbelina: I would love to meet the prince.
Cornelius: Oh, I'll warn him.
Thumbelina: Oh, oh, thank you.
Cornelius: Oh...you're welcome.
Buzzby: (buzzes)
Thumbelina: What was that?
Cornelius: Oh, that's Buzzby, my bumble. You see, I left him on the sill. He doesn't like staying in one place too long.
Thumbelina: Why didn't you say something? C'mon!
Let me be your wings[]
Thumbelina: Oh, my! Why, he...he's amazing!
Cornelius: Hey, hey, would you like to go for a spin? C'mon, let's go.
Thumbelina: Oh, I wish I had wings.
Cornelius: Perhaps someday you will. Hang on tight. Woah! 🎶 Let me be your wings, let me be your only love, let me take you far beyond the stars, let me be your wings, let me lift you high above, everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours, anything that you desire, anything at all, every day I'll take you higher and I'll never let you fall...let me be your wings, leave behind the world you know, for another world of wondrous things....We'll see the universe and dance on Saturn's rings, fly with me and I will be your wings.🎵

Meeting Jacquimo[]
Grundel: Mama, you give her to me.....I marry her.
Mrs. Toad: Very well. You can marry la nina. We can keep the money she earns in the family.
Thumbelina: Thank you, Mrs. Toad. Thank you. They really like me. Am I a star?
Mrs. Toad: Yes, and you can call me Mama.
Thumbelina: Mama?
Mrs. Toad: You're going to marry my son Grundel.
Thumbelina: I'm what?
Grundel: I love Thumbelina.
Korra: But Mrs. Toad, your son doesn't even know Thumbelina.
Mrs. Toad: We'll be right back with the Padre.
Thumbelina: Oh, dear, no. I love Cornelius.
Mrs. Toad: Today, you marry my son.
Thumbelina: Oh, no. No, no. No, I'm not marrying---Come back here! Wait a second. Where are you going? Doesn't anybody care what I think? HEEELLLPPP!!!
???: Woah! Help? Who is saying "help"?
Thumbelina: Mr. Bird, over here.
???: Oh! Little one, are you having a bad day?
Thumbelina: I was sleeping on the windowsill, waiting for Prince Cornelius to come. He said he'd come because he loves me and--
???: He loves you?
Thumbelina: Yes.
???: Congratulations!
Thumbelina: Thanks. But, well...but I was stolen away by Mrs. Toad...who says I have to marry her son.
???: A toad? Ptooey! Toad. That is a very bad day, mademoiselle. Uh, mademoiselle?
Thumbelina: Thumbelina.
???: Thumbelina, I am Jacquimo.
Jacquimo: How can I be of service to you?
Thumbelina: Well, I must get off this lily-pad, but that's impossible.
Jacquimo: Ho ho ho! Nothing is impossible. That's it!
Waterfall Rescue[]
Thumbelina: Oh, my. That was easy! Now, if we can just reach the shore before those awful toads come back.
Korra: Yeah, good idea.
Ash Ketchum: The sooner the better.
Jacquimo: Ah, the shore. You mean if you can reach the shore before you go over the waterfall?
Ash, Korra, Odette, Elsa, and Anna: Waterfall?!
Thumbelina: What waterfall?
Anna: And where?
Jacquimo: That one! (points to the waterfall up ahead)
Ash Ketchum: Whoa!
The girls (except Thumbelina): Yikes!!
Thumbelina: Is it bad?
(Jacquimo attempts to help by grabbing onto the lily-pad's stem. But the current is too strong for him to grapple himself onto the river floor.)
Jacquimo: I'm slipping!
Thumbelina: Hey, don't let go!
Ash Ketchum: Hold on tight!
Jacquimo: Can you swim?
Ash Ketchum: I can!
Anna: Elsa and I can swim!
Odette: So have I!
Korra and Asami: So have we!
Ash and the girls: All except for her! (points to Thumbelina)
Thumbelina: Not only that, but I can't even float!
(The rushing current causes the lily pad to bump into a nearby rock, making Ash and the girls to fall out and leaving Thumbelina by herself with Jacquimo.)
Thumbelina: Oh, dear!
Jacquimo: Sacré bleu! Young man and beautiful women overboard!
Thumbelina: HEEEELP!!!! Help, please! Someone help!
(Underwater, Ash hears Thumbelina's shouting. He takes out a PokéBall and sends out Totodile and Squirtle. He clings onto Squirtle while Anna clings onto Totodile. Anna grabs Elsa's hand while she grabs Odette's hand. Anna swims up to Ash and he takes her hand. In an instant, they all reached the surface, gasping for air.)
Ash Ketchum: Everyone okay?
Elsa and Anna: Yeah.
Odette: We're fine.
Ash Ketchum: Where's Korra and Asami?
Korra: Over here! (appears next to him as she uses her water-bending powers to save herself and Asami) You alright?
Ash Ketchum: Yes, Korra, we're okay!
Thumbelina: (off-screen) HEEELLLPPP!!! Somebody help!
Jacquimo: HEEEELP!!!!
Ash Ketchum: Uh-oh. They might need our help.
Asami Sato: Well, what are you waiting for? Climb on!
Korra: We don't have much time to waste!
(Ash and the girls quickly hop on. Ash recalls Totodile and Squirtle.)
Ash Ketchum: Hang on, you two! We're coming!
Pikachu: Pika, Pikachu!
Korra: Speed it up, Asami!
(Asami uses her own water-bending powers to speed herself and her friends up.)
Thumbelina: HEEELLLPPP!!! Somebody help!
Jacquimo: HEEEELP!!!!
(A fish couple notices the commotion from above the surface and they swim up to help. Our heroes continue to pursue Thumbelina and Jacquimo as the current continues to carry them upstream to the waterfall.)
Thumbelina: Oh, help! Somebody help!
Jacquimo: Jitterbugs, help!
(Two jitterbugs, who are sawing one of the cattails, hear Jacquimo's cry and rush over to help. Two other jitterbugs, who are fishing, notice the commotion as well and rush over to help. Thumbelina and Jacquimo are about to go over the waterfall.)
Ash Ketchum: They're getting closer to the edge of the waterfall! Korra, see if you can try to block it!
Korra: Okay! Elsa, I'll need your help with this!
(Korra uses her water-bending abilities to create a wall of water. Then Elsa blasts the wall of water with her ice powers, turning it into a block of ice.)
Elsa: (grunts) I don't know how long this is gonna hold, but you guys better hurry and get them out of there!
Anna: Ash, you go and help those critters get Thumbelina out! We got this!
Ash Ketchum: Are you sure?
Odette: Yes, don't worry about us. We'll be alright. Just go and get her to safety now.
Ash Ketchum: Okay. Let's go, Pikachu. (jumps back out into the water and swims off to rescue Thumbelina)
Thumbelina and Jacquimo: WATCH OUT!!!
(The fish catapults them away from the waterfall's edge. Ash swims up to the lily pad to help the fish and the jitterbugs rescue Thumbelina. Pikachu hops onto the lily pad to check on her while also keep her safe.)
Pikachu: Pika, Pika!
(Ash then sends out Bulbasaur and Bayleef.)
Ash Ketchum: Bulbasaur, Bayleef, use Vine Whip!
(Bulbasaur and Bayleef both use Vine Whip to grab onto the lily pad and pull Thumbelina to safety. Korra and Elsa attempt to hold the waterfall, but they can barely hang on.)
Elsa: (strains herself) Hurry up, Ash!
Korra: We can't hold it much longer!
Ash Ketchum: (panting) I'm going as fast as I can, girls! (pants)
Jacquimo: (bursts out of the water) Pull, mes amis, pull! (grunts) That is it! That is it! Higher, higher!
Ash Ketchum: Keep pulling, everyone! We're almost there!
Pikachu: Pika!
(Everyone keeps on pulling and pulling until they all manage to get Thumbelina to shore. Ash crawls up to the unconscious girl and is really tired.)
Ash Ketchum: (pants heavily) She's safe, girls! You can stop now! (pants)
(Korra and Elsa release the waterfall from their grip and collapse from exhaustion.)
Anna: Great job, Elsa. I'm so proud of you. You were so brave.
Elsa: Thank you, Anna.
Meet the Jitterbugs/"Follow Your Heart"[]
Ash Ketchum: (pants) Thanks for your help, Bayleef and Bulbasaur. Return. (recalls them to his PokéBalls)
(The girls arrive to check on Thumbelina.)
Asami Sato: Thumbelina?
Korra: Are you okay?
Slim Jitterbug: What is it?
Fat Jitterbug: Yeah, who is it?
Gnatty: Look, Mama, she's waking up.
Jacquimo: Are you feeling better, little one?
Thumbelina: Yes, I think so. But, who are you?
Jacquimo: Thumbelina, Ash, ladies, these are the jitterbugs.
Thumbelina and Ash: (with the girls) The jitterbugs?
Pikachu: Pikachu?
Thumbelina: Oh, how do you do?
Gnatty: Are you really gonna marry the fairy prince?
Thumbelina: (giggles) If he asks me. He will call for me at my house. Oh, that's why we wanna go home. Besides, Mother will be terribly worried.
(The jitterbugs felt deeply sorry for Thumbelina upon learning about her predicament.)
Ash Ketchum: Yeah, if only we could find our way home.
Gnatty: Oh, we'll help you, Thumbelina.
Slim Jitterbug: Yeah, nobody will hurt you, Thumbelina.
Fat Jitterbug: Yeah. Not with us on the job, right?
Slim Jitterbug: Right.
Thumbelina: Oh, you are all very brave and thank you, but I'm afraid I'll never see my home again.
Jacquimo: Oh...do you love the prince?
Thumbelina: Yes.
Jacquimo: Well, then follow your heart. It will lead you home. Now where does the prince live?
Thumbelina: Oh, oh, he–he lives in the....um...the Vale of the Fairies. Oh, but I don't know where that is either.
Jacquimo: Do not worry. I, Jacquimo, will find it and bring him to you.
Thumbelina: It's impossible.
Jacquimo: Impossible? Nothing is impossible. (sings) You're sure to do impossible things if you follow your heart (chuckles) Your dreams will fly on magical wings when you follow your heart if you have to journey far here's a little trick you don't need a guiding star. Trust your thicker, get there quicker. (chuckles) You're sure to do impossible things if you follow your heart! (speaks) C'mon, Thumbelina! You are going home! Your mother is waiting! Get up, get up!
Animals: (cheering)
Ash Ketchum: C'mon, girls, let's help get Thumbelina home!
Pikachu: Pikachu!
Can-Can Birds: (singing) You're sure to do impossible facts, if you follow your heart. Your dreams will fly on magical wings...
Jacquimo: Sing, my little chickadees!
Can-Can Birds: (singing) If you follow your heart.
Jacquimo: (singing) North or south or east or west, where to point your shoes? Which direction is the best? If the choosing get confusing, perhaps it's the map you're using. You don't need a chart to guide you, close your eyes and look inside you. Aha!
Jacquimo and Can-Can Birds: (singing) You're sure to do impossible feelings, if you know where to start. Your dreams will fly on magical wings, if you follow....
Jacquimo: (singing) Just trust the swallow.....
Jacquimo and Can-Can Birds: (singing) And always...follow your...heart!
Jacquimo: Bon voyage, Thumbelina, Ash, Pikachu and ladies. Never fear I will find the prince.
Thumbelina: Farewell!
Ash Ketchum: Bye, Jacquimo!
Pikachu: Pikachu!
Girls: And thank you!
Thumbelina: Oh, he's wonderful and I'm going home.
Berkeley Beetle/"Yer Beautiful Baby"/Ash lashes out at the Beetle Ball[]
(The scene changes where Prince Cornelius explains to his parents.)
Tabitha: Cornelius, my sunshine, first you buzzed in here on that wretched thing...and announced before the court that you'd found the girl of your dreams. And now you come back to say she's vanished?
Cornelius: Kidnapped. She's been kidnapped!
Tabitha: You're joking!
Colbert: Tabitha.
Cornelius: Look, Father. Please delay the winter frost as long as you can. I need time to find Thumbelina.
Tabitha: Cornelius!
Cornelius: Don't worry, Mother, I'll be back.
Tabitha and Colbert: Cornelius!
Cornelius: I'll find her!
Tabitha: Oh, my poor boy. Colbert, my love, we can't delay the frost for more than a day.
Misty: I'm not sure they should delay winter for much longer. We can't control nature.
Belle: True. Besides Thumbelina I am worried about Ash.
Rapunzel: Me too. What kind of toad that would kidnap our friends like that?! No offense Tiana.
Tiana: None taken.
Brock: Ash is fine. There's no need for us to be worrying about Ash. He's always getting into scrapes, but with Pikachu, Korra, Asami, Anna, Elsa and Odette, he'll be okay. I'm sure they'll take care of Thumbelina once we find them.
Moana: Yeah, you're right.
(The scene changes where Grundel sulks grumpily.)
Mozo: Hey, bro?
Grundel: Go away.
Mozo: Pond talk says Thumbelina gave you the slip and is gonna marry a fairy prince.
Grundel: What fairy prince?
Mozo: You not able to show your ugly face on stage no more.
Gringo: Everybody laugh at you.
Grundel: Nobody laughs. (Mozo and Gringo laugh) (suddenly becomes angry) I said nobody laughs! I go get Thumbelina and bring her back!
(Mozo and Gringo kept laughing and Grundel throws them into the water.)
Grundel: I marry her! (stalks off as his brothers continue laughing)
(The scene changes where Thumbelina, Ash, Pikachu, the girls and the bug kids walk together.)
L'iL Bee: Watch out!
Berkeley Beetle:(jumps in front of them) Aha!
Girls: Hey!
Ash Ketchum: (alarmed) Woah!
Thumbelina: Aah!
Berkeley Beetle: (laughing) Hiya, toots and hiya kid and ladies.
Ash Ketchum: Hey, who are you?
Pikachu: Pika?
Berkeley Beetle: Beetle's my name and Razzmatazz is my game. How ya all doing? How ya all feeling? Everything okay?
Thumbelina: (disgusted) I'm not your toots.
Korra: Yeah, you've just alarmed us.
Thumbelina: Where did you come from?
Berkeley Beetle: Where? Up there! I'm a connoisseur of sweet nectars, a designer of rare threads and a judge of a beautiful woman. (takes Thumbelina) And you are beautiful miss, um...
Thumbelina: Uh...Thumbelina.
Berkeley Beetle: (to Ash) What about you kid, who might you be? (see's Pikachu) And what's this little yellow rodent?
Ash Ketchum: My name is Ash Ketchum. That's Pikachu and I'm a Pokémon trainer.
Pikachu: Pika.
Berkeley Beetle: Hmmm, I've never heard of you. (to girls) And, who might you be, ladies?
Asami: Korra and I are Avatars.
Korra: That's right.
Elsa: I'm Elsa and this is my sister, Anna.
Odette: And I'm Princess Odette.
Ash Ketchum: Listen, Mr. Beetle, we really love to stay and chat. But we're on our way home.
Thumbelina: Ash is right, we're going home.
(Berkeley stops them by blocking their way.)
Berkeley Beetle: What's your rush, guys? Relax, take a load off.
Thumbelina: Ugh, I wish you wouldn't do that.
Ash Ketchum: Yeah, you're wasting our time.
Berkeley Beetle: Oh, am I? (to Thumbelina) Perhaps, you'd prefer this? (Begins kissing Thumbelina's arm, which disgusts Ash and the girls)
Elsa: (disgusted) Ugh, are you girls seeing this?
Anna: Yeah, whatever he's doing to Thumbelina. I don't like it one bit.
Odette: He's not much of a gentleman.
Korra: Oh, brother. He too wants to marry Thumbelina too.
Thumbelina: Oh, Mr. Beetle! I don't even know you.
Ash Ketchum: Yeah! Would you please stop kissing Thumbelina?
Berkeley Beetle: Stop? How can I stop? (kisses) I'm crazy about her, kid.
Ash Ketchum: (facepalms) Oh, brother...
Thumbelina: Oh, just stop.
Berkeley Beetle: (kissing) You're gorgeous. Oh. You're exciting. (Kisses his hand) Ooh, delicious.
Thumbelina: I am?
Berkeley Beetle: And I love the sound of your voice.
Thumbelina: My voice?
Berkeley Beetle: Don't talk! Sing. Sing to me.
Thumbelina: (thinking) Huh. (sings) I have an idea. Can you fly us up there? (pointing up the treetops)
Berkeley Beetle: Um, why should I, guys?
Anna: Well, from the treetops we could see Thumbelina's home.
Elsa: Yes, since we're almost home.
Thumbelina: Yes, then we'd know we're traveling in the right direction to get home.
Pikachu: Pika.
Berkeley Beetle: Ah gee, I don't know, guys.
Ash Ketchum: Why not?
Berkeley Beetle: Well, 'cause, it would be a big, big. Oh, very big favor, kid. (Grins slyly)
Thumbelina: (singing) I'll sing. I'll sing for you!
Berkeley Beetle: No, no. You'll sing at the Beetle Ball. And dance. (to Ash) And, kid, you, your pet and the girls will be in the audience.
Korra: (rolling her eyes) You've got to be kidding us.
Asami: What a total waste of time!
Ash Ketchum: But we don't have time!
PIkachu: Pika!
Berkeley Beetle: Oh, I insist. kid. (picks up Thumbelina Ash and the girls while taking them up; Pikachu holds onto Ash's leg) (laughing) We are gonna be the speak of the town, toots.
Ash Ketchum: Hey, put us down!
Thumbelina: I'm not your toots! And I don't even look like a beetle! (Berkeley escorts Thumbelina, Ash and the girls into the entrance as Pikachu follows them)
(The bug kids come out of hiding.)
Li'L Bee: C'mon, let's get help.
(The scene changes to the beetle ball where Pikachu, Ash Ketchum and the girls sit in the audience feeling worried about Thumbelina.)
Announcer: Ladies and gentlebugs, Berkeley Beetle proudly presents Thumbelina.
(Thumbelina is disguised as a beetle. Berkeley and his fellow beetle performers dance then he begins singing.)
Berkeley Beetle: (sings) 🎶 Baby, it's the beetle ball, And bugs are crawling to get in, When they hear that beetle beat, Those beetles start to spin And now a cheer for you my dear, Yer beautiful, baby. 🎶
Ash Ketchum: (moans as he rolls his eyes in disgust) This is ludicrous.
Pikachu: (disdainfully) Pikachu...
Beetles: (singing) 🎶 Oh my little butterfly, you flutter by in each romance (Berkeley Beetle: Wah, wah, wah, wah.) Every chance to dance with you puts the ants back in my pants (Berkeley Beetle: Wow, wow!) Let's cut a rug, my ladybug, Yer beautiful baby 🎵
(Berkeley takes Thumbelina to the center of the stage.)
Berkeley Beetle: (singing) 🎵 I get a flash when I have you on my wing, You tie my antennae in a knot, Now the the room's reeling and I'm feeling so hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot Hot to trot. Let's dance baby! 🎶
Beetle gentleman: Isn't she beautiful?
Beetle lady: Just adorable, darling.
Beetle gentleman 2: What a piece of work.
Beetle waiter: Will you look at her?
Beetle lady 2: (frowning at her husband) Huh! (He smiled sheepishly)
Berkeley Beetle: Okay, toots. Let's wing it!
Thumbelina: I-I can't wing it. I don't have any wings! (Berkeley spins her around as the costume comes off) I'm getting dizzy!
(Thumbelina reveals red undies which repulsed the beetles.)
Ash Ketchum: What the?!
Pikachu: Pika?!
Girls: (gasps in shock and horror)
Beetles: Ewww!
(The beetles begin to laugh at her, but Ash, Pikachu, and the girls felt shocked upon realizing that Berkeley is not the nice guy. Thumbelina continues dancing with the beetles.)
Beetles: (singing) 🎶 She-she-she-she's so-so-so-so Hey that bug is a dog! 🎶
Beetle lady: My, my.
Beetle gentleman: Unattractive.
Beetle lady 2: The word, my dear, is "ugly".
Ash Ketchum: (outraged) What?!
Pikachu: (outraged) Pika?!
Beetle gentleman 2: She's so ugly, she's hurting my feelers.
Beetle lady 3: Pee-yew!
Beetle gentleman 3: I hope it ain't catching. Disgraceful!
(The girls felt appalled upon seeing Thumbelina being insulted by Berkeley and the other beetles.)
Beetles: (singing) 🎶 Would you look at that, she ain't got no wings! Good gracious me, what are those things? She ain't got no feelers 🎶
(Thumbelina felt embarrassed)
Beetles: No feelers?
(Ash and Pikachu get even angrier as the beetles continue heckling poor Thumbelina)
Beetles: (singing) 🎵 She ain't got no shell, Do tell, She's got scrawny legs and knobby knees, For all we know, that girl's got fleas, She can't even fly 🎶
(Beetle glares at Thumbelina disdainfully upon changing his thoughts on her by the other beetles, Ash gets more furious to the point where he rips the tablecloth halfway; Pikachu starts sparking up its electricity in anger)
Beetles: (singing) 🎵 No, that won't do, so say goodbye, She's not for you. 🎶
Berkeley Beetle: I'm sorry toots, I guess you're too...
Beetles and Berkeley: Ugly!
(Berkeley whacks Thumbelina in the rear end with his cane, which causes her to yelp, and the beetles laugh at her scornfully, which enrages Ash even further.)
Berkeley Beetle: (to Thumbelina) Don't worry. You'll get over me.
Thumbelina: (hurt) I'm ugly? Huh. (on the verge of tears)
(Ash is completely fed up with the beetles mocking Thumbelina and is about to explode with anger as his face turns into a bright, red color.)
Pikachu: (angrily sparks its cheeks) Pika....!
Anna: Uh-oh.
Elsa: (quietly) Woah, boy. Watch out, girls! He's gonna blow!
Ash Ketchum: (blows up as he slams his fists on the table in anger and immediately stands up) THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!
(Ash's sudden outburst causes the beetles to gasp in shock. Ash's friends were shaken with his violent temper. The entire room suddenly becomes silent.)
Gentleman Beetle: Oh, my!
Lady Beetle: This child's not taking it very well.
(A furious Ash breathes heavily in frustration. He pulls his chair out of the way and marches up to the stage to defend Thumbelina. The beetles start to feel nervous as they look at Ash, who is furious with them.)
Beetle 1: W-W-What's that kid doing?
Beetle 2: I don't know.
(Berkeley's fellow beetles back off in fear as a very furious Ash goes up to their leader. Thumbelina also backs off, wondering what Ash is going to do. Berkeley Beetle cowardly backs off in shock as Ash starts closing in on him.)
Ash Ketchum: (enraged) Listen here, you insolent jerk! You have just made a stupid mistake humiliating Thumbelina in front of me!
(Ash grabs Berkeley's necktie and pulls him straight forward where he can talk to him eye-to-eye)
Ash Ketchum: A very big, stupid...
Berkeley Beetle: (very scared with Ash's temper) Now, now, now, now, look, kid, I can explain!
Ash Ketchum: Mistake! You want to see who's ugly? I'll show you who's ugly! (cracks his fists and gets ready to punch Berkeley Beetle)
Pikachu: (angrily) Pika Pika!
Berkeley Beetle: (pleadingly) No, no, no, please, kid. Let's not get too hasty now. I-I-I was just kidding about her being ugly. It was just a joke. Really. Honest, it was. Can we just sit down and talk this out with a couple of drinks, please? No, no, no, no, no!
Ash Ketchum: (growls, blinded by rage) SHUT UP!!!!
Berkeley Beetle: (gets punched real hard in the face, getting a black eye in the process) Oww! (lands on the floor)
(Ash's action gives the beetles a shocking startle. That also startles the girls as well.)
Anna: Oh!
Elsa: Oh, my word!
Odette: Goodness gracious!
Asami Sato: Geez Louis!
Korra: What a temper!
Lady Beetle: Oh, my heavens!
Beetle waiter: That kid's got anger issues to work out.
Pikachu: (angrily) PIKA PIKA!!!
[Sparks fly from Pikachu's cheeks]
Ash Ketchum: Pikachu, hit him with Thunderbolt! (Berkeley gasps in horror)
Pikachu: PIKA...CHUUUUUUUU!!!
(Pikachu shocks Beetle with his powerful electric attacks, which gives the other beetles a shocking fright.)
Berkeley Beetle: (dazed) Ow....
Ash Ketchum: The only thing that's ugly around here is the way you've treated Thumbelina and your lousy personality! (takes her hand) C'mon, Thumbelina, we're leaving. You don't need to hang out with this bully and his club of obnoxious lunatics. Are you coming, Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pika.
(Ash escorts Thumbelina out of the beetle ball as he glares furiously at the beetles for insulting Thumbelina with Pikachu following them. The beetles are visibly frightened by Ash's outburst. Berkeley attempts to get up after getting punched by Ash and getting shocked by Pikachu.)
Berkeley Beetle: (groaning, while rubbing his face) Boy, that kid has a violent temper and so does the sparky little rodent.
(Ash's friends are stunned at what Ash did. But, with no hesitation, they follow Ash and Thumbelina without saying a word. Meanwhile, the three jitterbug children are running.)
Baby Bug: Hey, wait for me!
Li'l Bee: Hurry up! Thumbelina needs help!
(Suddenly, Grundel jumps out, frightening the jitterbug children and he laughs.)
Grundel: Do I hear one of you say Thumbelina needs help?
Gnatty: Yes.
Li'l Bee: Gnatty!
Gnatty: The beetle took her flew way up there.
Li'l Bee: Shh! Be quiet!
Grundel: The beetle? I want her back!
Li'l Bee: C'mon, let's go. You big ugly wart-face!
Grundel: Now we see about this beetle.
Ash and friends w/Jacquimo comfort Thumbelina[]
(The scene changes to the tree branch where Ash and the girls felt bad for Thumbelina after what happened with Berkeley Beetle while Ash feels bad about the way he was acting.)
Korra: Well, that went well.
Asami Sato: That beetle was no help at all.
Odette: Are you alright, Ash? I never seen you like this before.
Ash Ketchum: I'm fine. Girls, I-I'm sorry about the way I was acting before. (Korra and the girls look at Ash feeling down.) I just couldn't stand the way he called Thumbelina ugly and the fact that he humiliated her on the stage. His bullying towards her made me lose my temper back there. Anyway, I'm sorry.
Pikachu: Pika, Pika Pi.
Korra: Don't worry about it, Ash. We all felt the same way.
Anna: Yeah, just don't let him bother you. He's just trying to get under our skins. And you have every right to be angry with him.
Ash Ketchum: I know. It's just that ever since we were trying to get Thumbelina back home, I get really outraged and frustrated at the way those toads and beetles have been trying to stop us from doing that. I just wish they would go away and leave us alone.
Korra: I know. We all feel the same way.
Ash Ketchum: Well, it comes to making new friends on these adventures. I get pretty crazy.
(Korra and Ash hug each other, just then Jacquimo arrived, and he sees Thumbelina sad.)
Jacquimo: (worried) Why, what is the matter, Thumbelina?
Thumbelina: (shedding tears) I'm cold, I'm lost and I'm hungry. And the beetle says I'm ugly.
Jacquimo: The beetle? You love the beetle?
Thumbelina: No.
Jacquimo: Then never mind, the beetle, good riddance to the beetle and good riddance to the toad.
Ash Ketchum: Yeah, don't worry about that jerk, Thumbelina. You saw how I took care of him.
Jacquimo: (gasps in surprise) Ooh-Laa-Laa! You mean you've taught the beetle a lesson?!
Ash Ketchum: (sadly) Uh-huh. He really ticked me off. (sighs in regret) But I've lost my temper towards him, and I punched him and even had Pikachu fry him with Thunderbolt.
(Ash bows his head in shame as Thumbelina and Jacquimo feel sorry for Ash.)
Thumbelina: (comforting Ash) Oh, Ash, don't feel bad. I've never liked that beetle anyway. I kept telling him that I'm not his toots and he never listened.
Jacquimo: That's right, Ash. Do not blame yourself.
Ash Ketchum: Yeah, I guess you're right. That jerk never listens to me either and I'm never ever gonna forgive him for that.
Pikachu: Pika Pika.
Thumbelina: Ash, I really appreciate you standing up for me. (hugging Ash) Thank you so much, you are so brave. (kisses Ash's cheek)
Ash Ketchum: (blushing) Awww, it was nothing, Thumbelina.
Pikachu: Pika Pikachu.
Thumbelina: (petting Pikachu) And you too, Pikachu.
Pikachu: (blushes) Pikachu.
Jacquimo: Does Prince Cornelius think you're ugly?
Thumbelina: No. He thinks I'm beautiful.
Jacquimo: And so you are, mon ami. Look!
Thumbelina: I'm going home. Oh, Jacquimo.
Jacquimo: Huh?
Thumbelina: Will you find the Vale of Fairies?
Jacquimo: I promise. I promise. But now we must sleep. Bonne nuit, bonne nuit, Thumbelina.
Thumbelina: Thank you, Jacquimo. Thank you.
Jacquimo: Tomorrow is a new day. And I will go to the forest and see if I can find your Prince Cornelius.
Jacquimo asks for directions/Cornelius searches for Thumbelina[]
(Cut to: Morning, in the woods)
Jacquimo: Bonjour! A nice sunny day?
Rabbit: It's sunny alright, but I'm not sure about the nice.
Jacquimo: I am looking for the Vale of the Fairies.
Rabbit: Fairies, right? Beats the heck out of me. Why don't you ask a fairy?
Jacquimo: Oh, you know one?
Rabbit: No, but he might.
Jacquimo: Oh! Ha, merci. Excusez-moi, monsieur, I am looking for the Vale of the––
Fox: Am-scray!
Jacquimo: I can see at this moment that you are a very busy fox, where I will be brief.
Fox: Buzz off, buster!
Jacquimo: Now look, look what I've done. I have a thorn in my wing. This is worse, very worse. Oh, mon dieu, I hope I yet can fly. Ah, I fly, oh, I fly, merci. It only stings a little. Now, where was I? Autumn? It is autumn. Oh, I must hurry up to find the fairy prince. Winter is almost here!
(Cut to: Cornelius flying on Buzzby)
Cornelius: Thumbelina! Oh, ah! Thumbelina, where are you? Oh. Woah! I'm looking for a beautiful young woman, her name is Thumbelina.
Gnatty: Are you the fairy prince?
Cornelius: I am.
Baby Bug: Thumbelina's gone.
Cornelius: Gone? Where? Where'd she go?
Gnatty: The beetle took her away.
Jitterbug Lady: They're out there. Somewhere!
Cornelius: She–She's out there? In that?
Gnatty: There's a big toad after me, as well.
Cornelius: Oh, dear. I have to find her! Winter's almost here. Hurry up, Buzz. My father can't hold back the frost much longer!
Thumbelina, Ash and friends lost in the cold[]
(The scene changes where Grundel Toad is choking Berkeley Beetle with Team Rocket and The Crime Empire watching)
Berkeley Beetle: Okay, okay. Can I explain something?
Grundel Toad: What?
Berkeley Beetle: Look, I don't know where they are, we didn't hit it off too good. So, I let her go, she's not my type, she's an ugly type. I don't like ugly.
(Grundel knocks Berkeley down.)
Grundel: She is beautiful!
Berkeley Beetle: Whatever you say! Anyways, there was also this aggressive Ketchum kid who has a really nasty temper — he punched my face and his sparky little rodent shocked me - literally!
Jessie: Wait a minute. Did...
James: You...
Meowth: Say...
James + Jessie + Meowth: Ketchum?
Jessie: I think you mean the twerp and his Pikachu.
Berkeley Beetle: Yeah, that's it. Wait, so you know that Ketchum kid?
Team Rocket: Yes.
Meowth: We know dat Twoip wit dat Pikachu too well. His Pikachu is very different from any other Pikachu. As a matter of fact, its powers exceed its evolutionary level.
Berkeley Beetle: Ahem! Look, I don't mean to but in on your conversation and all, but I got an idea.
Joker: And what's that, Beetle?
Berkeley Beetle: Well, Mr. Joker, I hear that she love's the fairy prince, right?
Penguin: Oh, we've heard all about it.
Grundel: (punches and steps on Berkeley Beetle) I crush fairy prince!
James: Whoa, Mr. Toad! Easy there! You don't want to raise your blood pressure again like you did last time.
Grundel: Alright, fine, fine. I'm cool. I'm fine.
Berkeley Beetle: Okay, okay. Now, shut up and listen! Why don't you just nab this prince and you set up the trap for the girl and the kid with his yellow pet. Using him as the bait.
Harley Quinn: And how is Mr. Toad going to do that?
Berkeley Beetle: You know get her to come to you.
Grundel: Nab the prince.
Berkeley Beetle: And set up the trap. Jessie, James and Meowth, you think you could nab the prince?
Team Rocket: Nab the prince?
Berkeley Beetle: And maybe grab the Ketchum kid and his pet?
Jessie: We don't see why not.
James: And the twerps will be next after the prince.
Grundel: Nab the prince.
Berkeley Beetle: (annoyed) Yes, nab the prince and set up a trap! Do you speak English?! Try to keep up, Grundel, okay?!
Grundel: Don't shout!
Berkeley Beetle: You're making me very nervous here!
Joker: You go capture the prince and then the boy! But first off! Grundel?
Grundel: Si, Joker?
Joker: (snaps his fingers) Remove the beetle's wings!
Grundel: Right away, Joker! (removes Berkeley's wings)
Berkeley Beetle: My wings! You took my wings! You can't do that!
Grundel: Yeah? I keep wings until you nab prince!
Joker: That's right, Beetle! You're not going to fly for a while.
Penguin: Yes, until you find the prince!
Berkeley Beetle: Listen, guys, this harassment has gone far enough, and I know my rights! I'll report you guys to the pond patrol.
Joker: (grabs Berkeley by the throat) We don't want to hear any more of your complaints, Beetle! Once you ambush the prince, we will ambush the boy, do I make myself clear?!
Berkeley Beetle: (chokes) Okay, okay, perfectly clear, Mr. Joker! Good, good. Cool it, cool it! (Joker lets him go) Where's your sense of humor?
Penguin: Enough chatting! Get going! (whacks Berkeley in the rear end with his umbrella)
Berkeley Beetle: Alright, Mr. Penguin, alright! I'll nab the prince while you nab the boy. (to his fellow beetles) Come on, guys. Mind the wings. I'll be back.
Grundel: (smiling evilly) Hmm, the little nino is in for a little surprise. Right, amigos?
Villains: (smiling evilly) Right.
(Grundel and the villains chuckle evilly as the scene fades to black.)
(Cut to: Jacquimo exploring a cave)
Jacquimo: Excusez-moi, monsieur bear? I am looking for the Vale of the Fairies.
Bear: I don't want no berries.
Jacquimo: No, no, no, fairies! Not berries! Wake up, you fat lummox! I said, wake up! Oh. I am having a very worst day. Mon dieu, it is so cold. Winter! Winter is here. Oh-ho! Oh, this thorn...oh, it hurts to fly.
(Cut to: Cornelius flying on Buzzby)
Cornelius: Don't worry, Buzz, we're going to make it. Thumbelina! (Buzzby tries to fly, but he loses altitude due to the fridged weather) Woah! (Buzzby crashes into the snow and Cornelius falls off) Ah! (falls into a pond; tries to swim out, but ends up freezing in place, leaving only the tip of his finger sticking out; the flower necklace blows off and loses its petals)
(Transition to: Mr. Beetle walking past the pond)
Berkeley Beetle: See now, he takes my wings away. Now I have to walk to find the prince. See, if he lets me keep my wings, I could fly after the prince and bring him back two seconds.
Beetle 1: (sees Cornelius in the ice) Hey, Beetle, this guy's the prince!
Berkeley Beetle: The prince? Ahh!! The prince! (Berkeley's thugs slice through the ice and break through to retrieve the frozen fairy prince) Somebody up there loves me! The prince. Okay, okay. You pick him up. Let's get out of this stinking weather before we're statistics. Whoo! I can't feel anything in my feelers anymore. (Berkeley's thugs push the ice block) A guy with my brain, I got to talk to a toad. What kind of conversation can you have with the toad. But they're toads. They're green, they're toads.
(Pan to: Thumbelina walking off from the pond)
Thumbelina: Jacquimo was wrong. I will never find my road home. It's impossible. Oh, Mother, where can you be?
(Cut to: Mother's house)
Mother: (sings) I know there's someone, somewhere, someone who's sure to find her soon. After the rain goes, there are rainbows. She'll find her rainbow soon. Soon my breaking heart will mend, soon a happy ending. Dangers behind her, I will find her. Homeward bound, safe and sound and soon!
[Pikachu collapses from exhaustion in the cold]
Pikachu: Chuuuuu...
Ash: Pikachu!!!
[Ash rushes over to Pikachu, picks him up and wraps him up in his jacket]
Ash: There, how's that Pikachu?
Thumbelina: Oh, poor thing. He must be very cold.
Pikachu: Pika...
Mrs. Fieldmouse and Mr. Mole/"Let Me Be Your Wings" (Reprise)[]
???: Feeling better, my dear?
Thumbelina: Where am I?
???: In my kitchen. I'm Ms. Fieldmouse and we are snug and safe underground.
Thumbelina: I'm underground?
Ms. Fieldmouse: Yes, dearie, three feet under. I dug it myself with my own two hands. Here, drink this.
Thumbelina: At least that toad won't find me down here.
Ms. Fieldmouse: There's something I don't understand. Did you really think you could survive the winter in that old shoe? Ha, ha! Honestly!
Thumbelina: I wanna go home.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait here till spring, Thumbelina.
Thumbelina: You knew my name!
Ms. Fieldmouse: Oh, that was easy. I know much more, like you were engaged to the fairy prince. Cornelius, I believe.
Thumbelina: Well, almost.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Oh, that is so mournful.
Thumbelina: What?
Ms. Fieldmouse: That he was found stone-cold frozen dead, in the snow.
Ash Ketchum: What?!
Girls: Huh?!
Pikachu: Pika?!
Thumbelina: Oh!
Ms. Fieldmouse: But of course you knew that.
Thumbelina: No. Cornelius, no!
Ms. Fieldmouse: That is so sad.
Thumbelina: No, it's not true!
Ms. Fieldmouse: Aww, Thumbelina, forgive me. Sometimes I just blurt things out without thinking. You're still young, though, there'll be another.
Thumbelina: He was perfect.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Nobody's perfect.
(Ash, Pikachu, and the girls look at each other in shock and disbelief. They cannot believe what they just heard from Mrs. Fieldmouse. How could she assume that Prince Cornelius is dead without even providing any proof? Especially if she had known he for single day. They all glare at the mouse in suspicious looks.)
Thumbelina: Cornelius was the only one––
Ms. Fieldmouse: Now put this on. We'll take these corn cakes to Mr. Mole. He lives just down the tunnel.
Thumbelina: I'd rather not.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Oh. I saved your life this very day and you'd rather not?
Thumbelina: Very well.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Oh, one more fact. Is it real you have a beautiful voice?
Thumbelina: I don't feel much like singing.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Oh, you must sing for Mr. Mole. He loves sweet stuff. C'mon. Mr. Mole loves his corn cakes.
Thumbelina: Cornelius was looking for me. That's what would have happened.
(Cut to Mr. Mole's place)
Ms. Fieldmouse: Nice afternoon, Mr. Mole.
Mr. Mole: Oh, yes. Ms. Fieldmouse. Nice afternoon. Lovely day.
Ms. Fieldmouse: I want you to meet a new friend of mine, Thumbelina. She just came down from up there.
Mr. Mole: Up there?
Ms. Fieldmouse: Up there.
Mr. Mole: Horrible place. Huh. How do you do, Miss Thumbelina? Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Thumbelina: Uh, h-how do you do, Mr. Mole?
Mr. Mole: Come in, come in. But don't touch anything. These are my stuff.
Ms. Fieldmouse: We brought some corn cakes for you. Just you try one, Mr. Mole.
Mr. Mole: Ooh, ooh. Mmm. Very nice. Well, warn us about up there. I went up once, almost blinded me. Hurried back down where it's dark and decent.
Thumbelina: Oh, uh, but...uh. I love the light.
Mr. Mole: I hate it. End of story.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Story. Thumbelina, tell Mr. Mole a story. A lovely, sad story.
Thumbelina: Well, uh...
Mr. Mole: Stand right there, where I can see you.
Thumbelina: Alright. Um...
Ms. Fieldmouse: Oh, I love love stories, don't you?
Thumbelina: Once upon a time, there was, uh...the sun.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Sing it, Thumbelina, sing.
Mr. Mole: She sings?
Ms. Fieldmouse: Shh.
Thumbelina: Oh, um... (sings) Once there was the sun, bright and warm and wonderful. Shining like the love within my heart. Now there's no more sun, winter has murdered everything. And although, it's dark December forever. I'll remember sun! Winter has murdered everything. Even the sun.
Thumbelina, Ash, and the girls find Jacquimo unconscious/Mr. Mole plans to marry Thumbelina[]
Ms. Fieldmouse: Wonderful story.
Mr. Mole: Dreadful feeling, the sun. And now, I have a story to tell you. Just this morning, as I was out for my early morning stroll, I stumbled across the most extraordinary stuff in my tunnel. A dead bird!
Ash and the girls: Dead bird?
Ms. Fieldmouse: No!
Mr. Mole: Yes. How do you suppose a dead bird got into my tunnel? Ah, well, I'm certainly glad I'm not a bird. Bothering the world with endless twittering, twittering, twittering...my, yes. Ah, there it is.
Thumbelina: Oh!
Ms. Fieldmouse: Whatever do you suppose happened to him?
Mr. Mole: Well...there's one less bird to twitter, twitter, twitter up there.
Thumbelina: Oh, Jacquimo, Jacquimo. My very, daring friend.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Tender little feeling.
Mr. Mole: Yes, quite lovely. Ms. Fieldmouse, could I have a word with you?
Ms. Fieldmouse: I wish you would.
Mr. Mole: Ms. Fieldmouse, you know I have been meaning to take a wife for some time now.
Ms. Fieldmouse: What a lovely idea.
Mr. Mole: I find myself sometimes, you know, lonely for companionship.
Ms. Fieldmouse: What could be more natural?
Mr. Mole: And I wonder if.....
Ms. Fieldmouse: Yes...?
Mr. Mole: If I could ask you to help me persuade Miss Thumbelina to-to-to-to be-be my wife.
(Ash and the girls inadvertently overhear Mr. Mole's plan.)
Odette: (gasps; whispering) D-D-Did you hear that?!
Korra: (whispers) Mr. Mole is planning to marry Thumbelina with Mrs. Fieldmouse's help!
Ash Ketchum: (whispering) Oh, no! Not him too!
Asami Sato: (whispers) This is crazy! Is every creature around here obsessed in marrying Thumbelina?! Why can't they just leave her alone and go marry someone else?!
Ms. Fieldmouse: Thumbelina?
Mr. Mole: She would keep me company and warn me stories, don't you think?
Ms. Fieldmouse: Yes.
Mr. Mole: And for your service in helping arrange this match, I will reward you handsomely.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Oh, I will. I will!
Mr. Mole: Dear Ms. Fieldmouse....
Ms. Fieldmouse: Leave the arrangements to me. Thumbelina?
Thumbelina: I-I hear your heart! You're not dead, no! Jacquimo...Jacquimo. I'll come back. Tonight.
Ms. Fieldmouse: Thumbelina?
(Later, that night...)
The girls discover that Prince Cornelius is still alive!/"Marry the Mole"[]
Asami Sato: Aw, man. First, Cornelius and now Jacquimo. What's more for Thumbelina to lose?
Anna: Maybe some nice food and a nice warm bed? (groans)
Ash Ketchum: How can you even think about food and sleep? We cannot let Thumbelina go through with Mr. Mole's hand in marriage.
Korra: Come on, Ash. You sure you're not just, you know, jealous?
Ash Ketchum: Of that weird, old, blind and yet greedy rodent? You saw her face, Korra. She doesn't even like him.
Odette: That's true, Ash. But maybe she doesn't need to. Things are different around here. Who are we to question their ways of love?
Anna & Elsa: Yeah.
Ash Ketchum: Mrs. Fieldmouse arranged the whole thing. How do even know if anything she said about Prince Cornelius's "death" is true? (groans in frustration) We need to get to the bottom of this right now! Girls, see if you can go around out there and find any clues to whether or not Cornelius is dead or alive.
Anna: But what about you, Ash?
Ash Ketchum: I'm gonna stay here and see if I can try to cheer Thumbelina up as best as I can.
-
Elsa: Find anything, girls?
Odette: No.
Asami Sato: Nothing here.
Anna: None over here.
Korra: Ugh, this doesn't make sense. How are we going to find a clue as to whether if the fairy prince is dead or alive if we can't find any evidence? If only there was a sign.
Gnatty: Um, excuse us? Excuse us?
Odette: Oh, hey, there, little ones. What are you doing out here?
Asami Sato: Are you looking for the fairy prince too?
Li'l Bee, Gnatty, and Baby Bug: Yes.
Elsa: Well, you're not alone. We've been set out here by Ash to look for clues to see if a certain fieldmouse was telling the truth about what happened to him. And we're probably gonna need your help in providing proof to Thumbelina. Would you do that for us and for her?
Li'l Bee, Gnatty, and Baby Bug: (nod their heads)
Anna: (giggles) Very good.
(They spread out and continued the search for evidence of Mrs. Fieldmouse's assumptions on Cornelius's apparent death. And after a while, Odette spotted something.)
Odette: (gasps) Hey, girls, look! Over there! (points to Berkeley Beetle and his thugs pushing the frozen Prince Cornelius) Isn't that the beetle who mocked Thumbelina on stage at the beetle ball?
Elsa: It sure looks like him. But what's that he's got there?
Asami Mato: And where's he going with it?
Korra: Only one way to find out. Come on, girls. Let's go see what he's up to.
Anna: (to the jitterbugs) Children, let's go!
(Berkeley Beetle and his thugs made their way to Grundel with the frozen fairy prince.)
Berkeley Beetle: One ice-cold prince coming up.
Joker: Excellent work, Berkeley Beetle!
The Penguin: He looks like a popsicle from what I can see. (cackles)
Harley Quinn: Do tell!
Berkeley Beetle: So, where do you guys want him?
Grundel: There. He looks dead.
Berkeley Beetle: Dead? Dead schmed! What difference does it make?
Grundel: You killed him!
Berkeley Beetle: Okay, okay, okay! Have it your way! I killed him. There, you satisfied? Huh? Huh? Forget the prince, alright?
(The girls and jitterbugs peek from behind the rock and overhear the conversation.)
Anna: (gasps; quietly) Hey, there's Prince Cornelius!
Elsa: (quietly) Shh!! Anna, be quiet! They'll hear you!
Gnatty: (quietly) They've got the fairy prince.
Odette: (quietly) Shh! Children, hush. You don't want them to hear us.
Berkeley Beetle: Uh, what if I were to tell you I know where Thumbelina is right now, huh? What if I told you that? Would you give me my wings?
Grundel: I'm glad you kill prince. It's a deal.
Berkeley Beetle: Good!
Korra: (whispering) He's in that block of ice. And they assume that he's dead. Just like Mrs. Fieldmouse.
Asami Sato: (whispers) But are they really sure if he's actually dead?
Elsa: (whispering) I don't know. Wait here. I'll go and check it out. And if the fairy prince is still alive, I'll let you know.
(They all nod their heads in agreement. Elsa then silently sneaks out to go check on the frozen fairy prince without Berkeley Beetle, Team Rocket, the Crime Empire, and Grundel Toad noticing she's there)
Anna: (whispers) Elsa, be careful.
Berkeley Beetle: (V.O.) My sources tell me she's buried alive with the mole.
Grundel: (V.O.) Mole?
Joker: (V.O.) What mole?!
Negaduck: (V.O.) Yeah, you never said anything about a mole, beetle!
(Elsa touches the ice, wipes off the snow and sees Cornelius's face.)
Elsa: (whispering) Cornelius. (places her hand where his chest and closes her eyes) Tell me if you're still alive, Cornelius. (she uses her powers to hear through the ice and in an instant, she can hear the prince's heart beating.)
Berekley Beetle: (V.O.) Well, if I were you, I'd get my tail over there and save her. Go. Get hopping. Oh, and give me back my wings. Would you please? My wings.
Elsa: (gasps and whispers) Oh my goodness! His heart is barely beating! Which means he's barely alive in there! How long have you been frozen in there, Prince Cornelius?
The Penguin: (V.O.) Where does this mole live, you stupid beetle?!
(Elsa hears the villains' yelling at Berkeley Beetle, gasps and hides behind the frozen ice block to hide from them.)
The Penguin: (V.O.) We wanna blow his place apart!
Harley Quinn: You know what, guys? Let's make him tell us where he lives.
Villains: (chatter in agreement)
Two-Face: Grundel?
Berkeley Beetle: (gets grabbed by Grundel) Ooh! Ooh! Stop! Stop! Let go of my arm! What's going on?! Where are we going?!
Grundel: We go rescue Thumbelina from the mole!
Joker: And you're gonna lead us to where his home is!
Berkeley Beetle: Mole? Are you guys out of your minds?! I'm not going down there! Do you know what that guy does to beetles?! Do you have any idea what he does?! He stuffs them! He stuffs them and he pins them on his walls!
Grundel: QUIET!!
Berkeley Beetle: (gets dragged off by Grundel) Look, why don't you just go home and marry a toad? You ever think about that? You find yourself a pretty toad with warts and you marry her.
Grundel and Villains: QUIET!!
Berkeley Beetle: Toads, toads, I gotta be stuck with toads...
Elsa: (relieved) Phew! (whispers) That was close. (to the frozen fairy prince) We'll get you out of there, Cornelius. We promise. We promise.
(Seeing that the coast is clear, Elsa took advantage of the opportunity and quickly runs back to her sister, the jitterbugs, and her friends.)
Elsa: Girls, Ash's assumption was correct. He's not literally dead, he's barely alive and frozen still in that block of ice.
Girls: (gasps in horror)
Anna: Oh my gosh! If he's still alive, then how long has he been frozen, Elsa?!
Elsa: Well, if my calculations are correct, I'd say he might have been frozen for three days.
Anna: Three days?! And he still manages to remain alive in that ice block?! Whoa...
Korra: Unbelievable!
Asami Sato: That's incredible!
Odette: Interesting...
Elsa: Unfortunately, he has very little time left if he is not thawed out. He'll still die of hypothermia if he remains frozen in there.
Girls: (gasping in horror)
Odette: So, this could mean one thing: Before Berkley Beetle and his minions took him away, Mrs. Fieldmouse saw Cornelius frozen in that lake and already knew that he was still alive. And when she found Thumbelina and the rest of us, she didn't want her to know anything about his whereabouts and fabricated a story about him dying in the cold. She might have done that just to make her forget about Cornelius and to get her to marry Mr. Mole instead.
Korra: (sighs) Looks like Mrs. Fieldmouse was lying all along. We'd better go tell this to Ash at once. (to the jitterbugs) You kids stay here and free the fairy prince from his icy prison. We'll go back and straighten things out with Thumbelina. But until then, stay out of trouble. (the jitterbugs nod their heads) Let's go, ladies.
(The girls run off to warn the news to Ash.)
Gnatty: They're right. We've got to help the fairy prince.
Li'l Bee: C'mon, guys! Let's build a fire!
(The jitterbugs fly up to the frozen fairy prince and prepare to build a fire to melt him free.)
Joker: (pauses for a moment) Wait a minute, fellas. I have an idea on how we will nab Ash Ketchum. Grundel, you and the beetle go on ahead and confront the mole yourselves. We'll catch up with you later after we go and nab the boy ourselves.
Grundel: Okay, then. Let's go, beetle! (leaves with Berkeley Beetle)
Harley Quinn: So, Joker, what plan do you have in mind? Huh?
Joker: Well, the first thing we gotta do is... (explains his plan to the Crime Empire and Team Rocket)
(We cut back to Mrs. Fieldmouse's home.)
Mrs. Fieldmouse: All the same, we'll make it a thrilling wedding. (locks the door) Why, it's a wonderful match! Mr. Mole is the richest rodent from miles around. Educated, well-dressed, highly thought of... Never mind that he can't see. (chuckles) That's all the better.
Thumbelina: How can I possibly marry Mr. Mole? I don't love him.
Mrs. Fieldmouse: Love? Love is what we read about in books, my dear. 🎶 "Here comes the bride" is a lovely little ditty...🎶but marrying for love is a foolish thing to do 'cause love won't pay the mortgage or put porridge in your bowl...🎵 Dearie, marry the mole....🎶 True, it's a fact that he's not exactly witty 🎵 He's blinder than a bat but at least his eyes are blue, 🎶 his breath may be alarming but he's charming, for a troll...🎵 Dearie, marry the mole 🎶 Romeo and Juliet were very much in love when they were wed, they honored every vow. 🎵 So where are they now? They're dead, dead, very very dead. 🎶 Poor Thumbelina, your brain so itty bitty 🎵 I hate to seem a pest, but I know what's best for you...Just think of all the ways that you could decorate a hole 🎶 Take my advice, I'll bring the rice
Dearie, marry the mole 🎶 Marry the mole...Marry that mole 🎵 M is for money🎶
Thumbelina 🎶 Oh... 🎶
Mrs. Fieldmouse: 🎶 L-E! 🎶
(The screen fades into black.)
Ash falls into a trap and gets captured!/Jacquimo wakes up[]
Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Thumbelina?
(We then cut to the next morning where Ash and Pikachu appear at Thumbelina's bedroom door.)
Ash Ketchum: (knocks on the door) I, uh, I-I brought you some breakfast. Thought I'd be a good friend and do something to cheer you up from the other day about Cornelius you know. (silence) Thumbelina? (opens the door, enters her room, and looks around) Thumbelina? Are you there?
Pikachu: Pi?
(Ash and Pikachu search all over the room for a little while. Things begin to get creepy as the wind silently blows.)
Ash Ketchum: Thumbelina? (looks in the bed) Thumbelina? (scratches his head)
(But suddenly, the door closes shut behind him and the lights go dim.)
Ash Ketchum: Wha-?!
Pikachu: Pika?!
(Just then, the Crime Empire and Team Rocket jump out, pounce on top of Ash, and struggle to bind him up.)
Pikachu: (gets thrown off of Ash's shoulder) Pika!!! (falls to the floor) Pika! (quickly hides under the bed and becomes concerned upon Ash getting pummeled by the Crime Empire and Team Rocket; whispering) Pika, Pi!
(Ash tries to break himself free as he attempts to fight off his enemies, but he is outnumbered. They immediately pin him down to the floor, restrain him, and handcuff him with the Joker's chains and shackles. The Penguin locks up the shackles with the key where that he won't escape.)
Ash Ketchum: Unh!
Joker: (cackles evilly) Surprise! (wicked guffaw)
Ash Ketchum: (gasps) Joker! I might have known! Where's Thumbelina?!
Joker: Oh, I'm afraid she's not home.
Penguin: That's right, boy. You're not going to find her around here.
Negaduck: Mr. Beetle said that the girl is with the mole.
Ash Ketchum: Unchain me now!
Jessie: No can do, twerp!
Two-Face: You're not going anywhere!
Joker: You can stay in this room until we decide what do with you! (to Team Rocket and Harley) My friends, you will stay and keep watch of the boy.
Team Rocket and Harley: But, Joker-
Joker: Do as I say!
Penguin: Come, my friends.
(Crime Empire leaves the room.)
Thumbelina: Mrs. Fieldmouse, where is Ash?
(Cut to the tunnels)
Thumbelina: Please be warm, daring friend. Please live. Poor little swallow. I'm sorry for all the damage I've caused you. I know now...there's no place in this big world for little people. We...we cannot do impossible stuff. Maybe I should marry the Mole. He could take care of me. He could. Huh. I will. I will marry the Mole.
Jacquimo: You are joking.
Thumbelina: Jacquimo?
Jacquimo: Marry the prince.
Thumbelina: Jacquimo, you're awake. Oh, Jacquimo.
Jacquimo: Ow, ow!
Thumbelina: Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
Jacquimo: I have a thorn in my wing.
Thumbelina: A thorn? Well, let me see. Oh, my heavens. Hold silent. Ah. There.
Jacquimo: Oh, now it will get better.
Thumbelina: Don't get up!
Jacquimo: No, no, I go to find the Vale of the Fairies and the prince.
Thumbelina: You silly bird, don't you understand?
Jacquimo: Get on my back, get on my back. I will take you to the green forest!
Thumbelina: Be realistic. Cornelius is gone.
Jacquimo: I-I will find him. Remember–––
Thumbelina: Jacquimo, don't.
Jacquimo: You're sure to do impossible feelings...
Thumbelina: JACQUIMO! STOP!! STOP IT, JACQUIMO!!!
Jacquimo: ......If you follow your heart. Bon voyage, mon ami!
Thumbelina: JACQUIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jacquimo: Bon voyage!
Thumbelina: No. Jacquimo. Oh, Jacquimo, stop torturing me. Cornelius is dead.
The girls free Ash/Reunited!/Prince Cornelius melts from the ice[]

Pikachu: Pika, Pikachu!
Girls: Huh?
Korra: Hey, it's Ash's Pikachu.
Princess Odette: What's it doing here?
Princess Anna: Pikachu, where's Ash?
Pikachu: (holds up Ash's hat) Pika, Pikachu! Pika! Pi, Pi, Pi, Pikachu! Chu! Pika, Pikachu! Pika, Pi! Pikachu! Chu, Pika!
Queen Elsa: Woah, woah, slow down there, Pikachu. We can't understand a word you're saying when you talking too fast.
Pikachu: (annoyed) Chu.... (takes Ash's hat and begins to run off)
Princess Anna: Hey, Pikachu! Where are you going?
Pikachu: Pika, Pika!
Asami Sato: I think it wants us to follow it. But to where?
Korra: Only one way to find out. Let's go, girls.
-
-
-
Girls: (gasping upon seeing Ash chained up in the Joker's restraints; quietly) Ash?!
Princess Odette: Is this what you were trying to tell us, Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pika, Pika!
Asami Sato: Well, why didn't you say something in the first place?
Pikachu: (annoyed) Pikachu...!
Korra: Never mind that! Come on! Let's get him out of there.
(Inside Thumbelina's room, Ash groans anxiously as he attempts to break himself free from Joker's chains. But it's no use. He becomes tired and then collapses to the floor.)
Ash Ketchum: (pants heavily in exhaustion and sighs sadly)
Harley Quinn: Why do we have to stay here and keep watch of the brat while everyone else gets to have the fun?
Jessie: That was Joker's orders.
James: (moans) I can wait any longer.
Meowth: Me neither.
Odette: (gasps) How did the Crime Empire and Team Rocket find this place?
Asami Sato: Oh, who cares about that? We need to get them away from that door.
Elsa: I'll handle this, ladies.
-
-
Team Rocket & Harley Quinn: (hears something) What?
Meowth: (feels a cold breeze) Brr!!! Hey, who left the cold air in here?
-
(Just then, a blast of icy wind freezes Team Rocket and Harley Quinn. The blast of icy wind came from none other than Elsa!)
Elsa: Just goes to show, the cold never bothered me anyway.
Girls: (gigging)
(Elsa then freezes the door and lets Korra and Asami kick it open.)
Ash Ketchum: What? Girls!
Anna: Ash!
Princess Odette: Are you alright?
Asami Sato: Are you hurt?
Ash Ketchum: No, I'm fine.
Korra: We'll have you free in a second, little buddy.
Elsa: Hold still now.
(Elsa uses her ice powers to shatter the shackles around Ash's wrists while Korra melts the shackles on his feet with her fire bending powers. Odette, Asami, and Anna immediately remove the chains from their friend.)
Pikachu: Pika, Pi! (happily jumps into Ash's arms)
Ash Ketchum: (hugs Pikachu) Pikachu! I'm so glad you're alright, pal.
Pikachu: (affectionately) Chu....!
Anna: Ash, there's something we need to tell you. We'd just discovered that Mrs. Fieldmouse had been lying to Thumbelina all along!
Ash Ketchum: What?!
Pikachu: Pika?!
Elsa: We saw Prince Cornelius frozen in a block of ice and we detected that he's still alive in there. He was being dragged away by Berkeley Beetle and his thugs and is currently being held captive by Grundel, the Crime Empire and Team Rocket.
Ash Ketchum: (growls frustratedly) I knew that despicable rodent was up to something the moment I'd laid eyes on her!
Odette: But don't worry. It'll all be worth it once Thumbelina's reunited with the fairy prince.
Ash Ketchum: You think so?
Korra: Yeah. Before heading back, we told the jitterbugs to thaw him out.
Asami Sato: He should be here anytime soon, Ash.
Ash Ketchum: Really?! That's great! (laughs happily) Thumbelina's going to be so happy when she sees him again! (suddenly remembers that she's already at Mr. Mole's wedding) Oh, geez, Thumbelina! She's probably at the wedding ceremony right about now! Girls, we must talk her out of marrying Mr. Mole and tell her the truth about Cornelius before it's too late! We gotta stop that wedding!
-
-
Misty: Ash!
Brock: Pikachu!
-
-
Ash Ketchum: I sure missed you guys!
Misty: So, did we.
Korra: But how did you know where we were?
Mako: A little birdie told us.
-
-
Ash Ketchum: Save the reunion later, guys! We're in a hurry!
Brock: In a hurry? What's the big rush?
Misty: What's going on?
Odette: There's no time to explain! We have to stop the wedding right now!
Elsa: Let's go, everyone!
-
Li'l Bee: Unh! (gathers firewood for the fire to melt the fairy prince out) There.
Baby Bug: Does he know Mr. Mole's gonna marry Thumbelina?
Li'l Bee: We'll find out until the ice melts. Then we'll warn him. (climbs up to the top on the ice, but slips) Whoa!!! (clings onto the fairy prince's free finger, but suddenly it starts to wiggle) Look! He's waking up!
(Meanwhile, the Crime Empire arrives and discovers Team Rocket and Harley Quinn frozen from Elsa's attack.)
Joker: What the?! (unfreezes Team Rocket and Harley Quinn with a flamethrower) You lost him?!
James: Hey, don't yell at us! It wasn't our fault!
Jessie: We didn't know what was happening! We were just minding our own business!
Meowth: Until some big blast of icy wind froze us all into popsicles!
Harley Quinn: And it wasn't even my idea!
Ash and the gang arrive to stop the wedding[]
Ash: C'mon, Charizard! We gotta stop that wedding! Hurry up!
(Charizard roars)
-
-
Cornelius: 🎶 Let me be your wings, let me be your only love, let me take you far beyond the stars 🎵
Reverend: Uh, Mr. Mole, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?
Cornelius: 🎶 Let me be your wings, let me lift you high above, everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours 🎵
Mr. Mole: (clears throat) I do.
Cornelius: 🎶 Anything that you desire, anything at all! 🎵
Reverend: And, Thumbelina, do you take this mole to be your lawful wedded husband?
(Just as Thumbelina is going to respond, Ash and the gang burst through the church doors, taking everyone by surprise.)
Ash Ketchum: STOP RIGHT THERE!!!
(The guests gasp as Ash and his friends rush up to the alter.)
Thumbelina: Ash?
Mr. Mole: (in his thoughts) What?! I thought Mrs. Fieldmouse got rid of him!
Mrs. Fieldmouse: (quietly) What is he still doing here?!
(Ash and the gang reach the altar. They all stop to catch their breath as they appear from running in exhaustion.)
Thumbelina: Ash, what are you doing here?
Mr. Mole: Really, son. It's very rude to drop in uninvited to a wedding like this.
Ash Ketchum: You keep your mouth shut and stay out of this, mole! (Charizard growls at him, making him frightened) Thumbelina, I have to speak to you.
Thumbelina: Oh, now you want to speak to me? Well, it's a little late for that. Well, if you'll excuse me.
Ash Ketchum: But you can't marry Mr. Mole! Not over a foolish lie about Cornelius's death!
(The guests gasp in fear)
Thumbelina: (pauses) W-What did you say?
Mrs. Fieldmouse: Ridiculous nonsense! Don't listen to him, Thumbelina, dearie. He's just- (Charizard growls viciously at her, warning her to back off)
Misty: You will be as quiet as possible, you mangy rodent! Or we'll have Charizard burn your fur off!
Brock: Now, sit... back... down... right now!
Pikachu: (frustratedly) Pikachu!
Mrs. Fieldmouse: (gulps hesitantly and reluctantly sits back down)
Queen Elsa: You were saying, Ash?
Ash Ketchum: Thumbelina, do you honestly believe that a handsome fairy prince like Cornelius would freeze to death and die this very instant? Especially after you'd met him a couple of weeks ago? I mean how do you know if anything Mrs. Fieldmouse said about his supposed demise was real? And look at Mr. Mole! Do you really love him? You barely even knew him! You can't just marry someone you just met and hardly knew! That's not how love works! (points at Mr. Mole) He is not your true love!
Thumbelina: But what do you know about true love?
Ash Ketchum: Because Cornelius is your true love. Not Mr. Mole, not Berkeley Beetle, and most likely not Grundel the Toad! Prince Cornelius is your one true love, Thumbelina, and you know it. You can't give up on him now. I know he's out there alive. You just have to believe in it. Remember the promise you both made on the night you met him? You promised never to forget him. And that's a promise you have to keep forever and not ever break. Because if you marry Mr. Mole, you'll end up breaking that promise. Think about it. What will Cornelius feel if you broke that promise right in front of him? What will he say?
(A flashback occurs.)
Thumbelina: (flashback) Do not forget me.
Cornelius: (flashback; gasps) Forget-me-knots! Oh, I'll never forget you. Never.
Thumbelina: (flashback) Never, never.
(The flashback ends.)
Ash Ketchum: Well?
(Thumbelina thinks it over and realizes that Ash is right.)
Thumbelina: He's right.
Reverend: What?!
Thumbelina: He's right!
Reverend: I beg your pardon?
Thumbelina: I cannot marry Mr. Mole.
(The guests gasp in alarm. Ash and the gang grin proudly at Thumbelina.)
Thumbelina: I don't love him! He's not my true love!
Mr. Mole: What?
Mrs. Fieldmouse: Thumbelina!
Brock: Shut up, you lying rodent!
Final Battle[]
(Grundel Toad arrives)
Ash Ketchum: You!
Grundel Toad: Step aside, nino! I marry her!
Thumbelina: I don't marry you! I go home!
(Thumbelina gets grabbed)
Ash Ketchum: Take your hands off her, you ugly amphibian!
(Ash stomps on Grundel's foot really hard.)
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
[Pikachu jumps in front of Grundel's face and frowns furiously with sparks shooting from his cheeks]
Grundel: Uh-oh.
Ash Ketchum: Let him have it, Pikachu!
Pikachu: PIKA!! PIKA...CHUUUUUU!!!!
(Pikachu fires a powerful jolt of electricity, electrocuting Grundel.)
Grundel: Ouch! After her!
-
Ash Ketchum: (shivers as he is running from the animals) Now, do you see what I mean, Misty and Brock?! These animals are crazy! They're all craving to get their hands on Thumbelina where they could marry her! Not just Mr. Mole! But that foolish toad and that idiot beetle, as well!
Misty & Brock: (outraged) Is that so?!
-
Berkeley Beetle: Ha, ha! Hiya, Toots!
Thumbelina: I'm not your toots!
Ash Ketchum: (points to Berkeley) There's that beetle who insulted Thumbelina on stage!
(Ash and Pikachu as well as his friends frown furiously at Mr. Beetle.)
Ash Ketchum: You!
Berkeley Beetle: (chuckling hesitantly) Hiya, kid.
Ash Ketchum: Don't hi me, Beetle. Pikachu use thunderbolt!
Berkeley Beetle: Oh, dear, not again.
(Berkeley Beetle gulps fearfully. Pikachu shocks Beetle with his thunderbolt, which causes him to shriek in pain.)
Ash Ketchum: That'll teach you to mess with Thumbelina, you jerk!
(Ash punches Berkeley really hard in the nose, giving him a nosebleed. Ash continues to restrain Beetle and he pins him down as Beetle cries out in agony.)
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!!!
Berkeley Beetle: Uncle! Uncle!
Ash Ketchum: Give us one brief reason why we should stop?
Berkeley Beetle: Listen kid, I don't blame you for getting mad at me. This was all Grundel's fault, he blackmailed me.
Misty: (blinded by her rage) GRRRR! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!! (she throws a Pokeball) GO, CORSOLA!!!
(Cornelius appears with the jitterbugs)
Cornelius: Woah! (topples through the ground ceiling, but stops himself near a ledge; he sees Thumbelina getting chased by the crazy animals) Thumbelina?
Grundel: She is marrying me!
Li'l Bee: That's the toad we've been warning you about!
Cornelius: Then, we meet at last, Mr. Toad!
Grundel: Fairy prince! No, you murdered him.
(Cut to farther down the tunnels)
Thumbelina: The sun. The sun is shining again.
(Cut to Cornelius and Grundel)
Cornelius: Haha! C'mon, show me whatcha had.
Grundel: Argh!
Cornelius: Let me go! Thumbelina!
Ash Ketchum: WHERE WILL YOU FOOLISH, THICK-HEADED ANIMALS EVER LEARN?!?!
Misty: That's right! You all don't know what human beings are!
Brock: Thumbelina will never see her mother again nor see Prince Cornelius alive for real with all of your tomfoolery slowing her down!
Ash Ketchum: (to Grundel) From now on, you and your family stay away from Thumbelina and keep off of her property! (to Berkeley, Mrs. Fieldmouse and Mr. Mole) That goes for you guys, as well! She's not like any of you!
Pikachu: Pika!
Anna: Don't ever go near Thumbelina ever again!
Asami: Yeah, you four are forbidden to see Thumbelina from now on, you hear?
(Grundel, Berkeley, Mr. Mole and Mrs. Fieldmouse nod their heads fearfully.)
Elsa: Now,...
Elsa and Korra: BE GONE!!!
(Cut to Thumbelina making her escape)
Mr. Mole: Thumbelina come back!
Ending[]
Thumbelina: Ooh. Oh, the sun!
Jacquimo: (sings) If you follow your heart.
Thumbelina: Jacquimo, it's you!
Jacquimo: Of course, c'est moi. Oh, Thumbelina, I found it, I have found it, I found the Vale of the Fairies!
Thumbelina: Oh, Jacquimo.
Jacquimo: No, no, listen, it is real. I spoke to the rabbit, who spoke to the fox, who spoke to the deer, who know for sure. You see––ah, I show you. Jump on. Hang on!
Thumbelina: Jacquimo!
Jacquimo: (hums "Follow Your Heart") We have to find the fairy prince.
Thumbelina: That's impossible.
Jacquimo: You are wrong!
Thumbelina: Jacquimo, I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. I almost said yes to the Mole.
Jacquimo: That's the mountain that looks like a turtle.
Thumbelina: But well, I don't love the Mole.
Jacquimo: We are here, we are here! Hello, hello, hello! Fairies! This is it.
Thumbelina: This? It just looks like a patch of ordinary weeds.
Jacquimo: Sing, Thumbelina, sing.
Thumbelina: Oh, Jacquimo. Please. Can you take me home?
Jacquimo: Sing!
Thumbelina: (sings) You will be my wings, you will be my only love. You will take me far beyond the stars! Jacquimo, this is silly. This is a weed patch.
Jacquimo: This is the Vale of the Fairies.
Thumbelina: Take me home, please.
Jacquimo: (singing) Let me be your wings! Like that. Sing, like that.
Thumbelina: (singing) You will lift me high above.
Jacquimo: Oh, magnifique!
Thumbelina: (singing) Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours.
Jacquimo: Incroyable.
Thumbelina: (singing) Anything that we desire, anything at all. Everyday you'll take me higher... (stops singing) Let's be practical, you guys. This isn't the veil of the fairies. And Cornelius is never coming back!
Heroes: BUT HE'S NOT DEAD!!!!
Thumbelina: (stunned in disbelief) What?! Not dead?! What do you mean "not dead?"
Anna: Thumbelina, where is your sense of hope? This whole thing was a big misunderstanding. We wanted to believe in Mrs. Fieldmouse's theory on what happened to the fairy prince, but we didn't.
Odette: So, we went out to look for evidence and provide proof if he's still alive.
Elsa: And once we found him, he was frozen in a block of ice and being held captive by Grundel, Team Rocket, and the Crime Empire.
Thumbelina: But how did you all figure out that he's still alive?!
Elsa: Because my powers sensed his heart beating through the ice.
Thumbelina: You sure?
Girls: (except Moana, Rapunzel, Pocahontas, Tiana, Belle, Aurora, Misty, and Brock) Yes.
Korra: Everything Mrs. Fieldmouse told you about Cornelius being dead was a lie, Thumbelina. Didn't you hear what we've said to you back at the wedding?
Asami Sato: She only said those things to get you to marry Mr. Mole and forget about Prince Cornelius.
Odette: By now, you should know all of that.
Thumbelina: She tricked me with a lie?! And after all this time, after all the suffering I've endured, I've been mourning in despair for absolutely nothing?!
Ash Ketchum and the girls: Yes.
Pikachu: Pikachu...
Thumbelina: (falls to her knees in shock) How could I have been such a fool?! I never should have listened her! I almost lost my freedom to that conniving rodent and that creepy, old mole! (cries and sheds tears of regret) I'm ashamed of myself. First, I couldn't find my way home, and now I've nearly forgotten about Cornelius. All because of a stupid lie! (sniffs) I'm really sorry, everyone. I've let you all down. I tried so hard to follow my heart and believe in magic like Jacquimo and you guys. But all I did was ruin my chances to be happy through a lie. I gave up too quickly. I've failed! I'm... I'm a complete failure as a friend! (crying)
Odette: (comforting) There, there, Thumbelina. It's not your fault.
Anna: (comforting) Yeah, don't blame yourself for nearly giving up on your true love. It was the fault of those stupid animals that nearly made you lose your way.
Elsa: (comforting) Exactly, those animals blinded you with hopelessness and despair that they made you lose sight of what's really important in life. And because of that, they took advantage of you and exploited you into nearly losing your freedom.
Thumbelina: (sniffs) Oh, maybe you're right. I'm so sorry. Instead of listening to you guys, I've been too heavily focused on mourning for my true love who wasn't really dead to begin with. While also falling for a dumb lie. (sighs sadly) Can you ever forgive me?
Korra: Sure.
Asami Sato: Already done.
Ash, Odette, Elsa, and Anna: (chattering in agreement)
Pikachu: Pikachu!
Ash Ketchum: (sees something) Hey, look!
Prince Cornelius: (singing) And I'll never let you fall!
Korra: There he is!
Odette, Asami, Elsa, and Anna: Cornelius!
Thumbelina: You. It's you. Cornelius, you're alive!
Prince Cornelius: Thumbelina, will you marry me?
Thumbelina: I will.
(They share a kiss together. Then suddenly, Thumbelina gains herself a pair of magical wings, becoming a fairy permanently.)
Thumbelina: (gasps) Wings! I have wings! My very own wings!
Ash Ketchum: (laughs) She's a fairy now! Whoo-hoo!! (laughs) Yay!!
Girls: Hooray!! Yay!! (cheering)
Misty and Brock: Yahoo!!! (laugh as they pridefully high-five each other)
Pikachu: (happily) Pikachu!!
Thumbelina: (hugs Ash) Oh, Ash! I'm so sorry for doubting you and Jacquimo! You were both right! Nothing is impossible as long as I keep following my heart and believing in magic!
Ash Ketchum: See? We told you. And look! It's the veil of the fairies! Just as Jacquimo said!
Pikachu: Pika Pikachu.
(The scene changes to Thumbelina's home where Thumbelina and Prince Corneilus get married as Ash and his friends watch proudly.)
Chorus: (sings) Anything that you desire.
Thumbelina: Hello, Mother!
Chorus: (singing) Anything at all. Every day I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall!
Elsa: I'm glad Thumbelina deserve a happy ending.
Anna: Yeah, she couldn't have done it without us. Especially, Ash.
Odette: Yeah, thanks to you Ash. You've worked so hard to help Thumbelina reunite with Corneilus that she's earned her wings.
Asami Sato: And you inspired her to become the fairy that she is right now.
Korra: We salute your fine work.
Ash Ketchum: Oh, please ladies. That's very nice of you.
Jacquimo: Au revoir!
Chorus: (singing) And always follow your heart!
Jacquimo: (voice-over) And of course, they lived happily ever after.
