Thumbalina, what's the difference If you're very small? When your heart is full of love You're nine feet tall!

Was it Captain Kangaroo? ..or am I drifting into the pleasant land...

I think so! But I dunno...I just remember Mom singing it...and I record I had, I think.

My memories on the subject are very shaky! ;-)

Well, this was gonna drive me nuts all night, thank goodness I found it! Google led me to a lyrics page for Thumbelina, which states "featured in the biographical movie 'Hans Christian Anderson'"

AHA! It wasn't the good Captain, it was Danny Kaye! Here's the IMDB entry, Hans Christian Andersen (1952)

I remember being very, very young and watching it on the afternoon movie on TV. Probably haven't seen it in well over 35 years, but the minute you posted some of the lyrics, it popped right up out of the mists of time and embedded itself in my noggin, LOL. Memory is such an odd thing!
