A German girl is stolen as a baby by the evil Scarlotta and raised as her daughter - until Prince Charming comes.
2. The Emperor's New Clothes
The Kingdom of Oaf is about to be attacked, but the Emperor is much too concerned with his spiffy new "invisible wardrobe" to notice. When the royal subjects finally admit that His Highness is wearing no clothes, the Emperor is embarrassed, but the kingdom is surprisingly saved.
3. Thumbelina
Thumbelina grows up to be just as tall as a thumb. Then, the evil toad Gargalong kidnaps her from her happy home.

At the last moment, a kindly swallow carries her off to the land of the Flower Elves, where she marries and lives happily ever after.

Scorned for looking different, a poor little Ugly Duckling is abandoned when his family flies south for the winter.

But after a miraculous change, the Ugly Duckling learns that sometimes being different can be beautiful.
5. The Elves and the Shoemaker
With fewer and fewer customers needing shoes, village shoemakers Bertram and Bettina and their faithful dog Woof are in quite a fix.

When a boastful miller claims his daughter Gisela can spin straw into gold, the greedy king demands proof. With the help of a strange little man, the straw is turned into gold after Gisela promises her first-born royal heir in return.
