Tom Thumb (1958)

When he foregoes chopping down a tree at her bequest, Forest Queen June Thorburn grants woodcutter Bernard Miles and his wife Jessie Matthews’s wish of having a child, even if he’s only the size of a thumb. That the “child” is, despite his size, an obviously adult Russ Tamblyn is not mentioned by anyone. Even for a version of a fairy tale, this particular rendition is quite ridiculous, but it is saved by a couple of colorful and lively song and dance numbers, especially the one where Tamblyn acrobatically interacts with the toys in his nursery.
