Tom thumb (film)

"tom thumb" is a 1958 US-made fantasy-musical film directed by George Pal and released by MGM. It was based on the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm. The lower-case lettering in the title was deliberate.

It starred Russ Tamblyn in the title role, with a largely British supporting cast (it was filmed in both Hollywood and London), including Bernard Miles and Jessie Matthews as Tom Thumb's adoptive parents, and comic actors Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers as the villainous duo who try to exploit the tiny hero for profit.

Director Pal worked with cinematographer Georges Périnal, animators Wah Chang and Gene Warren, art director Elliot Scott and special effects artist Tom Howard to create the animated and fantasy sequences. Ken Jones wrote the music and Peggy Lee wrote the songs.
