Everything about The Secret Adventures Of Tom Thumb totally explained
The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb is a
1993 stop-motion animated film made by
bolexbrothers, and funded by the
BBC,
La Sept, producer
Richard Hutchinson and
Manga Entertainment, which also distributed the film on video. Though it draws its title character from the
fairy tale Tom Thumb, the story and setting is substantially different, depicting Tom as a
foetus-like child living in a grim and squalid urban environment.
The story follows the tiny Tom Thumb as he's abducted from his loving parents and taken to an experimental laboratory, and his subsequent escape. He discovers a community of similarly-sized people living in a swamp, who help him on his journey to return to his parents. The film is largely dialogue-free, limited mostly to grunts and other non-verbal vocalizations.
The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb was made using a combination of stop-motion animation and
pixilation (live actors posed and shot frame-by-frame), often with live actors and puppets sharing the frame. It was originally commissioned as a 10 minute short for
BBC2's Christmas programming, but was rejected for being too dark for the festive season. The short version nevertheless garnered critical acclaim through showings at animation festivals, and a feature-length version was commissioned by the BBC a year later.
