Oyayubi Hime Monogatari follows Mia, a brash girl who receives a copy of *Thumbelina*. While reading, she is shrunk and transported into the book’s world. Determined to return home and regain her normal size, Mia befriends new companions and learns valuable lessons along the way, setting the stage for many more adventures. The series was condensed into an eighty‑minute film and released in North America on VHS by Starmaker Entertainment in 1993; it was later re‑issued on DVD by Digiview Entertainment in 2006.
