"Look at that." "This is so exciting, Barbie!" "Isn't it?" "I can't think of a better way to help the environment." "Okay, everyone, pick a tree and let's get started!" "I want this one!" "Oh, I've got this one!" "I want this one!" "This one's for me!" "Come on." "You're planting that?" "Yes." "What's wrong with it?" "It's so small." "Just look at it." "I think Emma's tree is beautiful." "But it's tiny." "That's true." "But even the smallest tree can make a big difference." "Really?" "But how?" "Have a seat, everybody." "I want to tell you a story." "A story that starts in a place just like this." "In a beautiful field, filled with plants and flowers." "The field wasn't so far from a big city, but you'd never know it:" "If you visited, you would think you were miles away from any people and you'd be right:" "But that doesn't mean the field was empty:" "Not even close:" "Because this field held the world of the Twillerbees:" "Over here!" "Got it!" "Oh, here, here, here." "The Twillerbees were tiny:" "The biggest one was no larger than a grown person's hand:" "They lived among the flowers and had a very special relationship with nature, since they could make plants grow faster:" "The Twillerbees had no contact with humans:" "However, if they should ever come across one, they were sure to hide:" "But one Twillerbee in particular wasn't so timid:" "Her name was Thumbelina:" "And she was the bravest of them all:" "Janessa!" "Chrysella!" "Thumbelina!" "I'm so glad you came." "Are you kidding?" "We wouldn't miss it for the world!" "For the universe!" "For the glactic-humungo- gimonsterly-huge-iverse!" "You really finished them." "We can really, truly, honestly fly!" "If Twillerbees were supposed to fly, we would have been born with wings." "Hurry, Janessa!" "Do you really think we can get good enough to fly over the Twillerbaby patch and watch them bloom?" "Sure we can!" "They're blooming in just two days." "Oh." "Which is plenty of time." "No more moving." "Moving leads to bouncing, bouncing leads to jouncing, jouncing leads to falling." "And I do not want to fall." "Can you imagine it?" "Flying over the Twillerbuds when they open up to reveal the teeny, tiny Twillerbabies inside." "It'll be so cute!" "It won't be so cute if I fall." "Oh, you're not gonna fall." "You're gonna fly." "Thumbelina!" "Huh?" "They work perfectly!" "You have to try it!" "Look what you can do!" "Oh, look at her fly." "It's amazing!" "Don't you think it's..." "It's amazing!" "I want to try it!" "Don't you want to try it?" "Oh!" "Let's try it!" "No!" "I don't care what you say, if there's one thing I'm absolutely not doing, it's jumping off of this..." "Oh, come on." "It'll be fun." "Just look at Thumbelina!" "Go, Thumbelina, go!" "Flap, Janessa, flap!" "Thumbelina!" "I'll save you, Janessa!" "Okay, okay." "This is good." "I..." "I think I've got it." "I've got it!" "Thumbelina!" "Chrysella!" "Oh, my nose." "You're squishing me." "Get off!" "Ooh!" "That was fun!" "Let's do it again!" "Chrysella, look at me." "It'll take forever to get this fluff off." "No, it won't." "Just shake." "See?" "Oopsie." "Chrysella!" "Janessa!" "That was amazing!" "You did it!" "You flew!" "No, we did not fly." "We fell!" "And I got covered with fluff." "Which looks so good with your purple dress!" "But I'm surprised your hay fever didn't act up." "Chrysella!" "Oh, now it's in my head." "That means I'm sure to..." "Thank you." "Twillerbees aren't supposed to fly, Thumbelina." "It's just not possible." "Anything's possible if you truly believe you can do it." "And you did it!" "Yes, well, I guess I did manage to fly a little." "Lola!" "Something's coming?" "What was that?" "I know!" "A belly rumbling!" "Somebody's hungry." "Is it you, Lola?" "No, that's not a Lola rumble." "If that's a belly, it's the belly of a giant." "Humans?" "Humans?" "We have to go home now." "We'll be safer there." "But humans almost never come here." "We should check it out." "But what if they see us?" "Rule number one in the Twillerbee handbook," "Twillerbees and humans don't mix!" "What Twillerbee handbook?" "The one I'm writing!" "And everyone will follow it because it will keep us safe and stop us from doing crazy things like flying and peeking out at humans making loud belly-rumbling sounds." "Which even if it was a good idea, which it is not..." "Huh?" "Hey, wait for me!" "What's this for?" "Hold on!" "Whoa!" "Right here, Lola!" "Whoa!" "That was so much fun!" "It wasn't so bad." "Look!" "Wow!" "Huh?" "You put sunglasses on your cat?" "Isn't he an indoor cat?" "Yes, but they're Natalie Chang sunglasses:" "Oh, Sprinkles, I don't think you want to jump off the bed in those:" "Mom?" "Dad?" "Mmm-hmm?" "Violet's cat has a pair of Natalie Chang sunglasses and Poofles doesn't." "Is it just me, or is this a massive injustice?" "You can get Poofles whatever sunglasses you want, sweetie." "Bug!" "This is the place, Myron." "Up here on the left." "Okay, now tell me again your plan of action." "What are humans doing here?" "Whatever it is, it can't be good." "We should wait and see what they're up to." "Oh, by the way, my parents bought me an island today:" "Your own island?" "Pretty much:" "I mean, there's some random people doing whatever on it, but my parents paid to name it after me:" "So if I want to go take it over one day, I can:" "What's the name of island again, Daddy?" "Violet Island, sweetheart!" "Real creative, Dad:" "Never mind what it's called:" "It's mine:" "That's great." "And so cool that you don't mind being the last person in the universe to hop on the private island thing." "Hmm:" "So what'd you get today, anything?" "Uh, yeah." "And it's very original." "Daddy, I want that!" "Hold on a sec." "What, honey?" "That field of flowers right there." "I want them in my room." "Sure, sweetie." "See that flower patch on our left, Myron?" "Yeah, I'm going to need that whole thing brought to our place in the city." "You got it." "Carla!" "Rick!" "Bring it over!" "Sure thing, boss." "Ooh!" "Look how big they are." "And that one's so yellow." "It's like a flower." "In what way is that possibly like a flower?" "I told you, it's yellow." "Just cut out this section here and load it up on the flatbed." "Boss' orders." "Yeah?" "Sounds crazy." "Hey, we're the little guy." "We don't ask, we just do." "Huh?" "Did you hear something?" "Hmm..." "You mean something like a teeny, tiny sneeze?" "Yeah." "No." "Me neither." "We should go." "Whoa, look at the giant comb." "Is it safe?" "I don't hear anything." "Shh!" "Wait." "I hear someone shushing." "That was me, Chrysella." "Now keep quiet." "Someone might hear you." "If there was someone here, we'd hear them." "I'm checking it out." "Thumbelina!" "Wow." "Are there any humans?" "No, no, there's no one here." "But what is this place?" "I've never seen anything like it." "Um, guys?" "Having a little trouble here, guys?" "Whoa." "I think we're a long way from..." "Home!" "Chrysella!" "Hold on!" "Thumbelina!" "Huh?" "Lola!" "Um, guys?" "I'm having a little trouble here." "You followed us." "Good girl." "I can't get to you." "Huh?" "Well, hello, there." "Fuzzy face." "What a big nose you have." "Aren't you just the cutest little..." "Chrysella!" "Good dog." "Nice doggie." "Hey?" "What's going on out there?" "I think I've got it." "I've got it." "I've got it!" "Hello, world!" "Flap, Janessa!" "Flap!" "Thank you." "Scatter!" "How do we get out of here?" "I don't know yet." "This is very bad." "Hey!" "What's going on in there?" "We have to hide!" "Where?" "I just heard a loud noise coming from my room." "This way!" "Poofles is probably getting into trouble again." "Hold on a sec, Vi." "Vi, I'll call you back." "Poofles!" "What did you do?" "What is it?" "Huh?" "Poofles, I think Mom and Dad got me some new dolls for my collection." "Hmm?" "Huh?" "Honestly, Poofles." "Here." "Sorry, Vi." "What were we talking about?" "Oh, yeah, you were going to tell me how jealous you are of my indoor flower field." "Here, I'll send you a picture." "You know it's going to be the biggest trend ever, and you can say it was started by your BFF." "What was that, Vi?" "Phew!" "Oh, yeah." "Well, I guarantee you everyone will want one." "The door's open." "We can get out of here." "What about the dog?" "Lola has him distracted." "Come on." "Why go to the country, when you can bring the country to you?" "No, Violet, the flower patch is not trash." "Yes, I know my parents are destroying the whole field for their new factory." "That doesn't make it trash, it makes it recycled." "It's green, Violet." "Apology accepted." "Did she just say her parents are destroying our field?" "Maybe there's another meaning for the word "destroying. "" "A friendly meaning." "Like, redecorating." "How dare she!" "Thumbelina!" "Who do you think you are?" "What?" "What are you saying?" "Who do I think I am?" "Vi, I'll call you back." "You had no right to take those flowers!" "And you're crazy if you think I'm going to let you destroy that field." "My home for some factory." "That field is a living, breathing..." "What is this, a little robot my parents made?" "Huh?" "Hmm." "Must be a prototype." "A proto what?" "Hmm..." "Whoa!" "Stop that!" "I can't see any switches." "And it doesn't feel like plastic." "Hey!" "Cut it out!" "Really solid construction." "I like it." "Put me down!" "Feisty little robot, aren't you?" "I'm not a robot!" "I'm a Twillerbee!" "A Twillerbee?" "Yes!" "And your mom and dad are destroying my home to build their factory." "This is perfect." "If you don't have a home, you'll have to stay here." "And I guarantee I'll be the only girl in town with her very own tiny person." "Violet will be so jealous." "Your own tiny..." "What makes you think I belong to you?" "And even if I had no home, why would I ever stay here?" "Maybe because you won't be able to get out." "Poofles!" "Go!" "I'll distract them." "Good girl, Lola." "Thank you." "That was way too close." "Really?" "I thought it was exciting." "Lola, do you know the way back to the Twillerbee village?" "Great." "You have to go back." "We have to?" "Well, what about you?" "Aren't you coming with us?" "I'm going back in there." "Are you crazy?" "Oh, Thumbelina, I don't think that's such a good idea." "You're way too small to make any difference in what they do." "So, we just give up?" "And leave our field forever?" "It's our only choice." "No, it's not." "We're small, that doesn't mean we're helpless." "You go back and delay the workers, and I'll stay here and find some way to stop them for good." "Be careful, Thumbelina." "You, too." "Lola, you can come back for me, right?" "Perfect." "Then I'll see you soon." "Poofles!" "Check the flower patch." "There's got to be more of them." "Hmm." "...interested in sponsoring the skate park." "Yes, I realize you have other offers, and I know some companies are offering you a little more money, but we have a reputation that's far superior to..." "Oh!" "I'm sorry, Adam." "I just hate small flying things." "When I see them, I just..." "Sorry about that." "Okay, so where were we?" "Yeah." "Yes, we're just about to break ground for the new factory, even as we speak." "I know, I know." "We've always been seen as the little guy, the small company going against the behemoth." "Yeah." "No, no, no, no!" "Tell the investors not to worry." "Nothing will stand in the way of us building this factory." "Nothing!" "Mom, Dad?" "Hold on a minute." "Yes, sweetie?" "Did you see anything small fly through here?" "I sure hope not." "No really." "Like a doll, about this big." "Oh, sweetie, you have such an imagination." "You want a doll?" "No problem." "Anything for you, sweetheart." "Anything at all!" "Hmm." "Honey, we have to take this call." "Okay, how many other offers in the building right now?" "Uh-huh." "Yes, yes." "Poofles!" "Have you found any more?" "We have to find one." "Violet will be so impressed." "There's one right here." "Huh?" "Wait, I can help you impress Violet." "Impress Violet?" "How?" "I'll show you." "That's incredible." "How did you..." "I've been doing everything to bring that plant back to life." "Are those berries?" "Yes." "Blueberries." "Come on, puppy." "Give it a try." "Oh!" "Good dog." "It's beautiful." "Yes, it is." "I'll help you impress Violet on two conditions." "One, you talk to your parents and convince them not to build their factory." "Two, you tell no one about me." "I mean it." "Hello?" "If I can't tell Violet about you, how am I supposed to impress her?" "Here." "No way!" "Violet would freak for a bag like this." "It looks like a Natalie Chang, but it's way cooler." "Can you do more of these?" "Yes, as many as you want." "So?" "Do we have a deal?" "Hmm." "Deal!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Huh?" "Nothing, boss." "I was just showing Louie this flower, here." "I find its aroma particularly compelling." "With a hint of whimsy." "You smell whimsy?" "I smell whimsy, too." "We do not smell the flowers." "We're ripping apart this entire field." "No more smelling!" "No smelling, no looking, no appreciating." "Ripping, tearing, destroying!" "Got it?" "Got it, Myron." "Good." "After lunch, we're breaking ground." "Okay, everyone." "We have until after lunch." "Let's go." "Hold on a minute, that's the other line." "What's up, Myron?" "Uh-huh." "Uh-huh." "What do you mean, there's a problem?" "You can't start digging until tomorrow?" "Yes." "What happened?" "I don't know, sir." "The machines, they..." "It's hard to explain." "But don't worry." "Tomorrow morning we'll start digging to get rid of all this garbage, believe you me." "I hate flowers." "Nice bag." "Who is it?" "She's a new designer, the next big thing." "Name?" "Belina." "She only goes by one name." "Says her last name got between her and her fans." "Hmm." "My mom comes home from Italy in the morning, so I'll have all the new pieces she's bringing me back." "Oh." "You will?" "Of course." "You didn't think you were the only one who could discover a new designer, did you?" "No, of course not." "So, tomorrow then." "I can bring Ashlynn, too." "She'll help us decide who found the better designer." "Sure." "Absolutely bring her." "I have something else I want to show you." "Something even better than a new designer." "Really?" "Mmm-hmm." "Something no other human being in the universe has." "I'm intrigued." "Ashlynn and I will be here tomorrow afternoon." "And we'll expect to be impressed." "Oh, you will be." "Makena." "Makena, you've got to talk to your parents." "Oh, sure." "Hey, Mom?" "Dad?" "Yes, honey?" "Can you stop building your new factory?" "Sure, sweetie." "When it's all done." "Love you!" "There." "I asked." "You have to try harder than that." "Thumbelina, my parents are rushing to finish work and getting ready to go out." "If you want me to have the kind of talk you're asking for, it has to be tomorrow." "Okay." "Tomorrow then." "But please, first thing." "My home depends on it." "Deal." "Okay, people." "Get your rest tonight." "But be here bright and early tomorrow morning." "Sure thing, boss." "Bright and early." "Good night, boss." "See you tomorrow." "Makena." "Makena." "Oh!" "Poofles!" "Good morning." "I know." "It's time to talk to my parents." "Come on, Makena." "You know how important this is." "All right." "Let's give it a try." "You can tell the investors that this new factory is going to be a massive boom for our bottom-line." "If all goes well, we'll double our..." "Hi, Mom." "Hi, Dad." "Hey, sweetie!" "Good morning, honey!" "We're making your favorite breakfast." "Okay, talk to you soon." "So, there's something I want." "Morning, Myron." "Is the equipment all fixed?" "Good morning, sir." "The machines are all fixed, the crew is ready and as long as everything goes smoothly, we should be back on track by lunchtime today." "Myron?" "Myron, is everything okay?" "Myron?" "Myron?" "Sir, I'm gonna have to call you back." "Myron?" "Honey, one of us has got to get down to the factory site." "I'll go." "You deal with the contractors." "Sunny-side up." "Just the way you like them." "Love you, honey." "Love you, Mom." "So, Dad..." "Hey, it's me." "I need to put a hold on that cement." "We still haven't broken ground." "Dad, I'd really like you to not build your factory on that site." "That much extra?" "Whoa!" "No, no, look into that." "See if there's a way around it." "You don't want us to build before you get more flowers?" "Done." "We'll cut you another patch, even bigger." "No, Dad, it's not the flowers." "Then what is it you'd like?" "Whatever it is, just name it, it's yours." "That's the problem." "It's not really a thing." "It's kind of a bigger issue." "No, no, that's not what they said at all." "I have the original document on my computer." "Let me call it up." "I'm so sorry, sweetie, I have to handle this." "Tell me what you want later." "I promise we'll go get it, okay?" "Love you." "Yes." "Yes, I know." "Well, they assured me that they were flexible with the delivery, as long as we gave them enough notice." "Well, see the problem is..." "There, I tried." "Great." "See you there, Vi." "Makena, what was that picture in your parents' office?" "The beautiful painting of a garden?" "Oh, my dad made that." "He said when he and Mom hit it big we'd have a place like that and sit together for tea inside every day." "Dorky, right?" "No, that's not dorky at all." "I've got to go see Vi." "Lola!" "Good timing." "I need your help." "Look at this mess." "Now I've got to get the mechanics back out here." "We're going to lose another day." "Do you understand what you've done?" "But, boss, the machines, they went out of control." "What?" "You okay, boss?" "I'm good, thanks." "You?" "Good." "I'm good." "We all good?" "Yeah, yeah." "Sure, yeah." "Good, yeah." "Good." "You good, boss?" "Stop that!" "But, boss, strange things are happening here." "Don't you think someone is trying to tell us something?" "Yeah." "Like we should leave this place alone." "Enough!" "You think this place is haunted?" "Nonsense!" "That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in all my life!" "Just be here first thing tomorrow!" "No excuses." "No issues." "Nothing but this field getting flattened." "Got it?" "Got it, boss!" "Haunted!" "Hmm." "Tomorrow, all of this will be destroyed." "Yes, Vi." "Of course I still want you and Ashlynn to come over." "And, yes, make sure you're prepared for the most unique thing you have ever seen." "Thumbelina?" "Thumbelina?" "Hi, Makena." "I have an amazing idea." "I want to give you a makeover." "You do?" "Yes." "Today is very important and I want you to look absolutely perfect." "Why is it so important?" "Because it's important for a girl to look her best every day." "So, why not today?" "Okay." "Besides, while I was out, I saw some things that would look perfect in your hair." "Here." "You got all that for me?" "Of course." "Now, sit." "Wow." "I've never had a makeover before." "Really?" "What do you and your friends do instead?" "Everything." "We run around, we play, we laugh and we can talk about anything." "It's funny, because Janessa and Chrysella and I are so different." "But we just work together, you know?" "I guess because we know we care about each other, more than just about anything else in the world." "That's really nice." "Yeah, it is." "We Twillerbees take our friendships pretty seriously." "That's why I was shocked that you and I became friends." "You think we're friends?" "Yes, don't you?" "Yeah, I really do." "Here, you're all done." "What do you think?" "Oh, Makena." "It's beautiful." "Thank you." "I'm glad you like it." "I'll be right back." "I have to make a quick phone call." "Not yet." "I need to show you something first." "I promise, it'll just take a minute." "Not yet." "Come on, please?" "Just follow me to the roof-deck." "Wow!" "Thumbelina!" "I just wanted to do something nice for you." "I don't know what to say." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Oh, wow, I really need to make a phone call." "Um..." "Makena?" "Violet!" "Ashlynn!" "Your dad let us in." "We were waiting in the hallway forever." "Cha!" "Oh, um..." "You knew we were coming." "You told us to come." "I did?" "Cha!" "I mean, I did, but..." "So what are you doing out here?" "And why are you talking to yourself?" "Oh, was I?" "Um, yeah." "And where's the most unique thing we've ever seen?" "You know, something that no other human being in the universe has?" "Or does it not really exist?" "Hmm." "It doesn't really exist, does it?" "You made it up." "I knew it." "Come on, Lola." "Let's go home." "You hear that Ashlynn?" "Makena made it all up." "She doesn't have anything special at all." "And that makes you happy, doesn't it?" "You love that I messed up." "Of course I do." "That's what friends are for, right?" "No, it's not." "Not the kind of friend I want." "Excuse me." "You heard me." "You're not my friends." "I want you to leave my house." "Now, please." "Nobody throws me out, Makena." "You do this and you're nobody to me." "I'm fine with that, Violet." "Your choice." "Come on, Ashlynn, let's go someplace worthy of our presence." "Cha!" "Thumbelina?" "Thumbelina?" "Oh..." "Mom, I'm going biking." "Okay, honey." "Be back before dinner." "Thumbelina!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Thumbelina, can you hear me?" "Thumbelina!" "I need to talk to you." "Are you here?" "Thumbelina!" "Thumbelina, please come out!" "I'm sorry!" "Fine!" "You don't want to come out, you don't have to come out." "But I'm going say what I came to say." "I sent Violet home." "Before I knew you left." "Maybe that doesn't matter to you, but it matters to me." "I did it to protect you." "And because she was never my friend." "You're my friend, Thumbelina." "You're not coming out?" "Fine." "I'll still save this field, though." "I don't know how, but I'll do it." "I promise." "I'm right here, Makena." "Thumbelina!" "You never should have tried to show me to Violet." "I'm so sorry, Thumbelina." "Apology accepted." "I want to show you something." "Here we are." "Here we are?" "Come on!" "Wow." "Everyone, I'd like you to meet someone." "It's okay." "You don't need to be afraid of her." "She's going to help us save our home." "She's my friend." "These are my best friends, Janessa and Chrysella." "Hello." "Nice to meet you." "Hi." "I like your dog." "Thanks." "Wow!" "There are so many of you." "And more are coming." "Follow me." "Wow!" "These are the Twillerbuds." "Inside each one is a tiny Twillerbaby, just waiting to be born when the flowers open tomorrow." "So, if the excavators dig up the field..." "We can't let that happen." "What are we gonna do?" "I have an idea." "Hmm..." "We did it." "We did!" "So, Janessa, Chrysella, let Lola fly you home." "Try to keep everyone calm." "It's going to be okay." "I sure hope so." "Bye, Makena." "Bye, Poofley-poo." "Oh, I love you, too." "Now, we just need to get to your parents." "Let's do it!" "Great, that's great." "Myron has the new equipment." "They're finally ready to break ground." "Fantastic!" "Yes." "Uh-huh." "Okay." "Keep us posted Myron." "Thanks, bye." "My cell phone." "What about it?" "It's gone." "What?" "Huh?" "Evan!" "Wow!" "Whoa!" "Wow!" "Thanks, Poofles." "Hi, Mom." "Hi, Dad." "Wow!" "Makena." "This is amazing." "Does it look familiar?" "Yes, kind of." "It should, because you designed it." "This is what you said you'd do when the business took off, remember?" "Sit in a beautiful greenhouse, have tea." "Would you like a cup?" "Please." "You really put a lot of thought into this, didn't you?" "And a lot of time." "I have something to say to you, and I need you to listen." "Really listen." "Please." "What is it, honey?" "Is everything okay?" "It's not." "I need you to stop construction on your new factory." "What?" "Why?" "You just..." "You can't destroy that field." "It's important." "Trust me." "Honey, I know you love the flowers there, but we can find those same flowers someplace else." "No, you don't understand." "Uh..." "Um..." "There are living things there!" "Sweetie, whatever you want, just tell us." "You don't have to make crazy demands." "But..." "Makena, we love you, but you're being irrational." "Stop!" "You're not listening!" "I'm telling you, you can't build a factory there." "You just can't!" "Ending the construction is out of the question." "And really, we're talking about just one little field." "It doesn't make that much of a difference." "But..." "Your mother's right, honey." "To you it's just one little field." "Huh?" "But to me, it's my whole world." "Hello:" "Hello?" "Mom, Dad, this is Thumbelina." "She's a Twillerbee." "A Twillerbee?" "And that field is filled with Twillerbees." "Tons of them." "And Twillerbabies that are going to be born today." "But not if the field is destroyed." "Destroyed?" "Oh, no..." "The phones!" "The phones?" "You're still worried about work?" "I've got it." "Before we got your page, I got a call from Myron, the crew chief." "They're about to break ground." "No!" "He's not answering!" "All right, this is it!" "We've had our share of delays, but not anymore!" "Now is the time to destroy this place!" "So let's rip up this field!" "Yeah!" "Huh?" "You want me to dock your pay for the damage to the equipment yesterday?" "You wouldn't." "You couldn't." "You shouldn't." "Boss, we don't have that kind of money." "So then what're you waiting for?" "Let's rip up this field!" "Yeah!" "Yeah." "It's no good." "But you are in charge!" "Honey, we started the project, but if he's not answering..." "Then you have to call him off in person." "Yes." "You're right." "Let's go." "We'll get there in time." "I know it." "I hope so." "Now start digging!" "Are the birds ready, Lola?" "Great!" "That was weird." "Huh?" "What's going on?" "Is it raining?" "That's not rain, it's hail!" "Huh?" "That's not hail, it's the birds!" "This is no good!" "Ow!" "This place is haunted or something!" "I don't think we should be here!" "Look, nature boy, I don't want to hear it." "All of you, quit your whining, get your machines moving and get to work!" "I'm telling you, this field is not haunted!" "Come on!" "It's like this all the way there." "We can take a back route, but the exit's not for a mile." "In this traffic, that could take a half hour." "That's too long." "Pop the trunk, please." "There's a bike path just off the road." "Be careful, honey." "I will." "Thumbelina." "I won't let you down again." "We'll see you there!" "We love you!" "I love you, too!" "Beautiful!" "Don't you look lovely." "Now!" "Do you see that?" "This place is haunted." "I think it's coming this way." "No!" "I don't want to be anywhere near that thing!" "No, no, no!" "This is not happening again." "Whoa!" "Get me out of here!" "The giant flower is gonna eat us!" "The birds, they're chasing us!" "Where are you going, you cowards?" "Save me!" "The giant flower is gonna eat us!" "Don't bother coming back!" "I can finish this myself!" "It's a flower." "It's just a big flower." "He's not stopping!" "Everyone!" "Run!" "I hate flowers." "Keep going, Makena!" "We've got to get there in time." "I'm talking to whatever's out there that has been messing with my demolition!" "I'm done with the interruptions!" "I don't care if I have to work through hailstorms, flat tires, hauntings, earthquakes, tornadoes, or the end of the world itself." "I'm ripping up this field." "And I'm ripping it up now!" "I always knew we were small, but I never felt it until right now!" "Everybody, run!" "Come on, Makena!" "You can do it!" "I know you can!" "Oh, no." "Hurry, Makena!" "Stop!" "Huh?" "What is going on?" "I'm not letting you tear up this field!" "And who do you think..." "Hey, you're Evan and Vanessa's kid, aren't you?" "I am." "And in the name of my parents, I'm telling you to stop this project!" "In the name of your parents." "That's cute." "Now get out of the way of my equipment." "Never!" "Look, I don't care whose kid you are, you're just a kid, and you're getting in between me and my job." "Now move, or I'll move you myself." "I'm not moving." "That's it." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Put me down!" "Put me down, you big pile of bolts!" "Makena!" "Are you all right?" "Huh?" "You knew she was here?" "I didn't realize." "Of course, if I had..." "The project's off, Myron." "But..." "It's over, Myron." "Thank you." "But it was my project." "I was going to level everything." "It was going to be beautiful." "You heard my dad, it's over." "But..." "Hey!" "What?" "There's something very wrong with this place!" "Makena, that took a lot of courage." "Yes, we're very proud of you." "Me, too!" "Thanks, Makena." "And thank you for caring enough to save my world." "The Twillerbabies!" "Let's go!" "Whoa." "This is amazing." "This is it." "Are you ready?" "Yes!" "Me, too." "Can you give us a boost?" "One, two, three!" "Thanks again from all of us Twillerbees." "I can't believe how close we came to destroying all of this." "But if we wanted to build here, someone else will, too." "How do we protect it and still keep the Twillerbees a secret?" "Hmm." "I think I have an idea." "And with that," "Makena and her family created a nature reserve, protecting the Twillerbees' meadow forever." "So, you see, Thumbelina and the Twillerbees were small." "Even Makena was small compared to the grown-ups all around her." "But together they made a huge difference." "Just like my little tree." "Exactly." "And just like all of you, the trees you plant today will grow up to help clean the environment and bring joy to people for years to come." "Um, Barbie?" "Yes, Lucas?" "The nature reserve that Makena's parents built for the Twillerbees, is it this nature reserve?" "That is an excellent question." "I wonder..." "Is it?" "Is it, Barbie?" "No way!" "Where are they?" "There's only one way to find out, and that's to keep your eyes and ears open." "Twillerbees are very good at staying hidden." "But it is Twillerbaby blooming time." "Can we go look for them?" "Of course." "Just stay where I can see you." "This way, come on." "Wow, I think I saw something." "Hey, over here." "Barbie?" "Yes, Emma?" "Does Thumbelina really exist?" "What do you think?" "Yeah." "That was a great story!" "I did not get stuck in a flower." "Come on, you two." "Let's give them a Twillerbee surprise." "Wow!"
