The movie is a free adaptation of the famous tale of Gilles Perrault: the overprotecting king and queen and the princess Rosemonde are new characters and they give a new romantic element to the story: the "Petit Poucet" will fall in love with the princess Rosemonde who live in the tower of the castle.
Let's com back to the main story: there is is a great famine and the lumberjack has decide to abandon his children (a lot of twins and the Tom Thumb in the forest, but Tom Thumb is a very cute boy, he has listened to the words of his father and marks his way by white stones. There is then an second of the father to abandon the children and the story becomes dramatic: the wolves are in the forest, but the children climb to the trees and are singing all the night the song "Viens manger ta soupe si tu veux grandir".
A mixture of dramatic moments (the stay in the ogre's house) and also sweet moments (the encounter of Tom Thumb with Rosemonde) and funny moments (the seven league boots and the escape from the ogre house).
I enjoyed thenperformances of Michel Robin (the lumberjack), of Jean-Pierre Marielle (the confusd ogre), of Jean-Luc Bideau (the king with prejudices), of Marie Laforêt (the queen) and of course of Titoyo (Tom Thumb).
