Little Tom Thumb
Worst. Parents. Ever. But a lovely animated tale using cut-out animation designed by Sunniva Kellquist
It's probably not an answer to child poverty, but the Thumb family resolve all their money worries by abandoning their children in the woods - twice. There are lots of versions of Tom Thumb tales, but this one follows the 17th century Charles Perrault tale of Le Petit Poucet. Ogres, staggeringly bad parenting, and seven-league-boots are all beautifully brought to life through cut-out animation, based on designs by Swedish illustrator Sunniva Kellquist.
Animated version of the fairy tale.Tom proves himself cleverer than his brothers when he outwits an ogre and returns home with treasure.
