00:00Un jour, il y avait un doigt.
00:29Ce doigt appartient à un homme qui habitait dans le royaume du roi Arthur.
00:32C'était le doigt le plus magnifique du pays.
00:35Les gens venaient de loin pour l'admirer.
00:38Un doigt !
00:40Mais ce n'était pas toujours ainsi !
00:42Je vais vous raconter la histoire, s'il vous plaît.
00:44Il y avait un moment où l'homme n'avait pas de beaux doigts.
00:48En fait, il avait des doigts similaire à ceux de tout le monde.
00:50Un doigt de droite, un de gauche.
00:52Et, parce qu'il n'y avait rien d'unique de ses doigts,
00:55il a passé son temps à travailler très fort, comme un ploumane.
00:59Un jour, la femme du ploumane a fait un souhait.
01:02Je devrais être la plus heureuse créature du monde si j'avais un fils.
01:07Même s'il n'était pas plus grand que le doigt de mon mari, je serais satisfaite.
01:11Eh bien, il s'est donc passé que Merlin, le célèbre magicien,
01:15était juste à l'extérieur de sa fenêtre.
01:17Il a entendu sa déclaration et a été tellement amusé par le prospect d'un garçon
01:21qui n'était pas plus grand que le doigt d'un homme.
01:26Qu'il lui a donné le souhait de la femme.
01:29Eh bien, ça aurait été drôle pour Merlin, mais le ploumane n'était pas du tout amusé.
01:34Juste une autre bouche à nourrir.
01:36Oh, il ne mangera pas beaucoup.
01:38Et qui sait, il peut grandir jusqu'à être six pieds quatre.
01:43Mais il s'est donc passé que Tom Thumb, qui est ce qu'ils l'ont nommé,
01:46mangeait plus que le ploumane et sa femme.
01:49Mais il ne grandit pas.
01:51À l'âge de 16 ans, il n'était toujours pas plus grand que Merlin.
01:54Il n'était toujours pas plus grand que le doigt de son père.
01:56Tom's mother loved him, of course.
01:58But she would thoughtlessly display him around town as though he were a pet bird.
02:03It was about this time that Tom made friends with a butterfly.
02:11If he does that again, I'm gonna buy a flyswatter.
02:15Flyswatter?
02:16They'll never get you with any old flyswatter.
02:19It's time we split, man.
02:21Cut out to the big city.
02:23So Tom did cut out to the big city
02:26and formed the Big Thumb Gang with himself as leader.
02:30It's Big Thumb!
02:32He had channeled his butterfly, added dual carburetors,
02:35and put in oversized valves.
02:37He had the hottest hopped-up butterfly in the kingdom.
02:41Okay, now here's our first caper.
02:43The candy store on Elm Street.
02:45But as the gang studied the plans outside their hideout...
02:49You've got the butterfly net?
02:51Yep.
02:52I'm prepared to use it.
02:53They don't call me Inspector Snoot for nothing.
02:56I've sniffed around
02:58and I can smell a candy store heist in the making.
03:03All right, men. Let's go.
03:05But Tom and his gang no sooner started out than they were trapped by Inspector Snoot
03:10and Tom ended up back in the birdcage.
03:13However, news of his plan reached the newspapers.
03:16Snoot Nets Big Thumb!
03:18The juvenile delinquency gains in kingdom.
03:22And I say to you,
03:24that if nothing is done about this juvenile delinquency,
03:28I demand that King Arthur himself be investigated.
03:31It's the king's fault.
03:33The king's fault.
03:34The king's fault.
03:35The king's fault.
03:36I don't know why we have to have a king like that.
03:39Marilyn, come here!
03:42It's the king's fault. The king's fault.
03:44Will you stop already?
03:46We've got to get to the bottom of this thing.
03:49We've got to find out why the lad became delinquent.
03:52You talk to him.
03:54Now then, my boy.
03:56Just when did you start to go wrong?
03:59When I was twelve years old,
04:01I had a feeling there was something different about me.
04:04I was twelve years old and only three inches high.
04:07I longed to be big, big, big.
04:10So, when I met my only friend,
04:12I escaped to become the biggest man in the kingdom.
04:15Big Thumb.
04:17And I am big, too.
04:19I've created a monster.
04:22So, Merlin confessed to King Arthur.
04:25So, you see, sire,
04:27I'm responsible for the lad's behavior.
04:29Well, fix him back to normal size, Merlin.
04:33But I can't break my own spell.
04:35Spell shmell.
04:37You get him out of it or else.
04:39Merlin thought and thought,
04:41but could come to no answer until
04:43one day it struck him.
04:45If the spell says he has to be as big as his father's thumb,
04:49why not?
04:51So, the next day in the ploughman's house...
04:54There! There seems to be something happening to my thumb!
04:58Sure enough, Merlin had cast a spell on the ploughman's thumb.
05:01And as it grew, so did Tom,
05:04until he was a normal-sized boy.
05:06Tom never again thought of crime.
05:08The king made him keeper of the royal butterflies,
05:11and Tom's father never again touched a plough,
05:14for his thumb became so famous
05:16that the king made him a national monument.
05:19And Tom's mother?
05:20Why, she bought a bird for her birdcage.
05:22And so, they were all deliriously happy ever after.
