I keep mentioning Disney in this video but apparently the 1994 Thumbelina movie was created by Warner Brothers! Thank you for correcting me! ❤ It's funny that I googled 'Thumbelina disney' multiple times while working on this doll and I always got the pictures I wanted, nothing seemed off to me :D

[@faydreamsmystic4]

Yeah, I had to look it up to be sure of which company actually made it. I knew it wasn't Disney but I thought it was Fox, like the Anastasia 1997 film. If that had been the case then Disney would've technically owned it, if not produced it. But it was Warner B instead. 🙃

[@allisonbrommer7208]

While it was originally produced by Warner Brothers in 1994 it was sold and rereleased by 20th Century Fox in 2002. In 2019 when Disney acquired 21st Century Fox, they got the rights to Thumbelina and can even be found on Disney +.

[@Espurrl]

Also with Thumbelina and Ariel sharing a voice actress, it’s understandable to think it’s Disney!

[@derekedwardson382]

It was animated by Don Bluth, the same guy who did All Dogs Go to Heaven and the Secret of Nihm. Easy mistake! Excellent doll!! ❤️

[@M1ster_Teal]

Common mistake. Mostly cuz, though it was distributed by WB, it was produced by the animation studio created by Don Bluth, a former Disney animator, who, at the time (a time prior to the Disney Renaissance of the late 80's/early 90's), felt the classic magic & fairytale style was lost at the mouse studio & left to create his own films, such as "Little Foot", "Fievel" or "Anastasia", in the style of the old classic Disney films...

[@jockquelynnehanuman8714]

I was just reminded of one of my favorite movies when I was younger,Fern Gully. You could probably use one of these small dolls for Chrysta ! And she’s a fairy that lives in a rainforest, so you could possibly use the static grass for something with her as well.

[@ruecifer5012]

Oh my goodness i looove that movie!

[@chantelleowen-evans7068]

I love her! She’s so tiny and cute! This doll would make a good tinkerbell too I think!

[@Espurrl]

I love on Friday evenings to hear your trademark “hello everyone!” and settle in to watch some beautiful doll artistry. It’s so relaxing!

[@dingo1666]

Love the artistry, this is certainly one of my top doll makeover channels. However I always fall off the chair when she shouts: "Hello everyone", after the soothing music. But I love that too, it's part of the whole experience. 😁😎🥰

[@cacaumassipanoficial6203]

You could use the other doll to make her prince or some other little character, maybe a little mushroom fairy or flowers, if it was a little boy it would be adorable too, the Little Thumb or a little forest-themed dwarf with berries, vines, and leaves...

[@faydreamsmystic4]

Oooohhh Thumbelina as her Fairy self at the end when she gets her wings would be awesome!

[@glauvie]

I love the Tom Thumb idea!

[@Voirreydirector]

When I was young my grandmother made up little stories of thumbelina and tiny Tim. I think she related to them as she was 4’8” tall. Lovely memories!

[@briggyb]

The frog mama and her son would be so funny!

[@melissagray461]

Yess Prince Cornelius!

[@allisonbrommer7208]

I watched this movie over and over when I was little! You did an awesome job. Another miniature character you should create is Arrietty from the Studio Ghibli film “The Secret World of Arrietty”.

[@dracolipop]

with her clothes hanger hair clip 😍

[@havenparks]

Yes, adorable!

[@JupiKitten]

Yes please!

[@Trinity25Apr]

Summertime sun-kissed Thumbelina, lovely. The grass and flower looked very realistic and really elevated this little beauty.

[@HaydenYouTube]

I've been inspired by your channel and I turn Barbie and Ken into DC superheroes. I found that worbla is a bit thick for that scale and also not smooth. I found however that if I warm up the worbla, put it between two silicone mats, and then roll it out, that it not only thins it, but it also smoothes it out. The accessories I make now look less bulky and are smooth. Not sure if you've ever tried it, but you might like the result. Thanks for all your hard work and creations!!

[@ruecifer5012]

Thats actually a super smart tip!

[@Canyouhandleth1s]

Ginger is actually a form of albinism so it's one of the reasons they are more pale. None the less they are amazingly beautiful with their warm colours. You are really good at capturing this particular form of beauty. It's so awesome to watch every transformation. ❤

[@kittysmithy7049]

That is not true

[@patriciahamel5674]

This is my favorite pair of eyes that you have ever done. Absolutely stunning. It’s a pleasure to watch your skills improve with every new doll that you do. Also, if I can offer a tip for future freckled dolls, as someone who has freckles: They tend to be more prevalent in the parts of the body that get sun exposure. So the face, neck, arms, legs, and sometimes the shoulders, will have more freckles than the abdomen and chest, as well as the back.

[@katmartindale8049]

She is absolutely lovely. The Barbie Extra Minnie are very much a cute cartoonish doll. Their faces are sweet but a little flat. Your repaint gave so much depth and character to the simple sculpt. She's a sun-kissed beauty with her freckles. I look forward to seeing what you can make from these new dolls.

[@theshadowofgod1]

Growing up, this was my FAVORITE movie. The red hair even looks real cute on her! She's SO adorable!!

[@cafialena]

So cute!!! In the end keeping her original complection really worked in her favor, her skin has the same lovely warm glow as her hair and it's beautiful, as usual

[@mylahobbit1815]

She is so cute!!! I love the way the flower looks - it reminds me of the peonies in front of my childhood house. I've only ever seen people use a static grass applicator when they're also running electricity through the glue to make it stand up straight, but I was pleasantly surprised by how wild and natural it turned out without that! I actually prefer your grass a little bit - it looks so organic while still giving the effect of individual blades of grass. I'm no expert on static grass, but if you wanted to look up the other way in the future, it makes for a sort of manicured lawn look, since each blade is standing up perfectly straight. Maybe better for a larger scale though - I really like how natural your way looks on this piece!

[@madonnadove]

Cute shoes! Those leaves! That grass! I love small dolls the best. I love diorama!

[@bridgethaines7127]

I think her eye color is the prettiest you've ever done. She is lovely!

[@laurelwilkinson2594]

So cute! Freckles make perfect sense for a girl living in a flower.

[@cynthiat6505]

Thanks! If I were rich I’d give so much more! You’re worth it! Total brilliance! Your faces are always so realistic! Other artists do their gimmick on the face. Your signature is beautiful realism. ❤️

[@PoppenAtelier]

Thank you so much Cynthia! 💖

[@cynthiat6505]

@@PoppenAtelier You are so welcome. I mean every word I say. You’re a true artist.

[@mare7583]

Growing up Thumbelina was always my favorite movie, I rented it almost every week! I'm so happy I was able to snag this doll!! I can't wait for it to arrive!! Thank you for making it!! My inner child is screaming right now!

[@christineingram55]

She’s gorgeous.,she has such a darling little face ,and that hair is such a beautiful colour.. The rose stand is so delicate and you adding the grass and lavender finished it off perfectly,so sh can sit there or stand there for photos. She’s very different for you but has all your trademarks on her , as she’s so beautifully done.I love this one 🥰

[@linnau85]

Please please please keep making these beautiful dioramas for your dolls 😍 you are simply incredible at it. All your dolls have a story, so ostensibly they all have a world in which they belong or rather a scene. It really sets your artistry apart. How on earth you have avoided being gainfully employed as a set designer or something of that ilk is beyond me. You are so very very talented, keep making, keep giving them stories and please make more dioramas, you are just brilliant at them. Peace upon you xxxx Edit: oh and I love Romanian Thumbelina (its just what her colouring reminded me of with her red hair and tan skin and green eyes, so beautiful)

[@dianekane4084]

I think this is one of my favorites. Thumbellina is adorable. But I have to say, your rose is amazing.

[@DannyJane.]

With regard to the size of the doll's head. It IS interesting that it matches both Barbie and Monster High. However, I recall that you use a shrinking method to make oversized heads more proportionate for specific projects. Maybe you can shrink this Queen of Hearts head to work better with her tiny body. My only criticism is that I think you should have added high- and lowlights to the doll's red hair. It would have given her a depth that the solid, unrelenting red lacks. I'd've loved to see a lighter red/gold streak in it to show that she spends a lot of time in the sunshine. However, I love the outfit, and think it's absolutely perfect for this project.

[@ambercarver791]

Another super cute doll. I even have my husband watching these videos. He loves seeing your finished works.

[@aaronhelms]

I think the face on her is probably my favorite face you've done in a while, I absolutely love the freckles and the eyes and lips...just...it's so pretty!

[@cynthiashannon3967]

I totally agree she's absolutely beautiful 😍

[@AnnaPhelps32]

She is SO cute. I really like her face mold. This face would make the perfect Betty Boop! I love her flower too. Very pretty. 😀❤️

[@mirandaschristiancrafts9092]

You did such a beautiful job! As a child I was mesmerized by Thumbelina. She’s absolutely one of my top favorites. I love this doll. 🤍💜💝

[@lis.anwell638]

She is soooo cute! I love the size of these dolls! You always do such a wonderful job. Oh FYI Thumbelina is a Don Bluth film not a Disney film.

[@PoppenAtelier]

yep, I've learned something new today! Never even doubted it was Disney :D thank you!

[@benjaminacuna8013]

Ironically he was disneys top animator before he left and made bluth studios. Which is now part of Disney. Does this mean we might got prince Cornelius too??

[@ZsazsaLaMore]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 These dolls would be perfect for a Baby Groot makeover!

[@PaperParade]

I’d love to see you makeover a Polly Pocket or those lil Bratz dolls that were popular when I was a kid in the early 2000s!

[@alixfirth5278]

This was adorable. Never thought I'd feel jealous of a doll but as a ginger that can't tan I can say I am absolutely jealous of this tiny ginger doll with a gorgeous tan. I love the small doll repaints you do they're so cute. Would you ever try to repaint a Polly Pocket doll? I had one when I was a kid that was a bit longer than my finger (still not quite Thumbelina), the one I had wasn't poseable and its hair was made if plastic but I think it'd be something to try. The only other small doll I had was a miniature Bratz doll but I already know you'll hate it. 😄 out of curiosity, do you think you'll ever try to repaint a porcelain doll? I know they're expensive and fragile but I think it'd be interesting to see if you can do it justice. Live your work as always! ❤

[@vidhoard]

This might officially be my favorite doll Repaint you've ever done. Her face is SO beautiful and so is her hair. The flower is so beautiful and so is the dress. Honestly just everything is SO perfect. PLEASE do another mini barbie for Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck it Ralph!!!

[@francesjolee2916]

As a child many years ago there were the borrowers....the littles....would be so amazing to see the characters come to life at your hands!! I absolutely love watching all of your videos...captivated by how U seem to just move through every part of it & things come out perfect!!! Thank U for making these videos...Yes I agree a small male companion or even yes a fairy...to watch U create the wings... U have amazing talent I can not wait to see what U do next...Thank U so much!!!!!

[@goncalomarto1092]

PLEASE do a Smurfette doll with one of this tiny dolls. She would look so adorable and pretty im sure. You are so talented!!

[@xIvyMoonx]

The Don Bluth Thumbalina movie is one of my very favorites, and it makes me so so happy to see this doll!! 💖

[@RobertoCavalcanteChumboFeliz]

Oh, a Poison Ivy doll will be a perfect choice to use the grass! 🌿💚

[@afvp9586]

She's so pretty! That little dress is absolutely gorgeous!

[@PlayfulCalamity]

Not going to lie, i had to watch this fast before going to work. So i was skipping about, and when i saw her complete face at the end...I fan girl screamed. Love when you give them freckles. Love you tooooo!

[@electraheart7745]

Maryna you never cease to amaze us with your artistry and skills she is so beautiful and the flower is gorgeous!!

[@nicolegreene8631]

She is too adorable. I'm not a huge fan of the Xtra minis, but you've changed my mind. Gorgeous!

[@greenvirgo26vert38]

Aww my childhood! I used to pretend my polly pockets were thumblina any time i got ahold of a rose. Beautiful job as always...some wings and the prince would be a nice touch too

[@stephjoy6229]

Beautiful! Yes please do another mini doll like this. I always love the ones with freckles by the way. It makes them come to life more I think and makes them more unique!

[@navileblond9981]

I am not a massive fan of Big Headed dolls and these are a bit of a hit and miss with me, but they are great body donors for Chelsea dolls and the heads are great to practise repaints on also not that you needed but I do LOL, like you said Marina the heads are compatible with other doll bodies so would be great to see some Hybrids for sure so please let your imagination fly and mesmerize us all as you always do. Thumbelina looks adorable love her you did an amazing transformation with this doll from the face up the re-root the outfit the flower and even the grass AMAZING job truly. Massive kisses to you hope your mom is well. And the rest of the Poppen Family.

[@evelynmatheson918]

Love it! So glad you kept her skin tone. It is beautiful. So cute and tiny!

[@eshbena]

You could make over pretty much anything and I would watch. I learn something new on every project you do.

[@dianejohanson98]

Her eyes are gorgeous and I love the rose. Very creative!

[@WulfyFang3]

I love Don Bluth's Thumbelina! Such a great movie 💜💜💜 one of my favorites growing up along with his Anastasia

[@Cinnamonrolls_adventures]

You're work astonishes me with ever doll you customize.

[@annmariehayes5641]

Oh wow your amazing art work is out of this world... the flower and grass is amazing, the doll looks really beautiful in this skin tone just wow! For ideas there is plenty of fairy types, Tinkerbell and her friends, Look up Flower Fairies there is all different flowers associated with them, look forward to your next one 💕👍

[@Nonsequitoria2010]

An underrated masterpiece finally gets the recognition it deserves. Holla!

[@Tazzie1312]

Redheaded dolls are always my favourite. They're just so cute!!

[@brittany6910]

This is adorable. It inspires me to make one into a fairy. I haven't seen anyone customize Barbie Extra yet, I've been putting it off because she's so tiny!

[@littleemochick13]

I’d love to see your take on some plant themed dolls! I bet you could make a really gorgeous Venus fly trap doll or a jewel orchid queen! Begonias are super gorgeous too! There’s so many you could use as inspiration!

[@sanashi27]

That's so cute!! I like the flower she's on, too - so much effort even for the grass.

[@sandiemable]

She's adorable! The flower is beautiful and is the perfect place for her to sit. These mini dolls are so cute and would make great fairies as well. I picture a little fairy village with little houses or something like that. You would be able to use a lot of the leftover grass on the house and ground... a big project! Have a great weekend, xoxo's Sandie🤗

[@cynthiashannon3967]

Popped this doll has an absolutely beautiful face 😍 definitely one of my favorites

[@Anatomymisgivings]

Love the deviation to ginger hair, tan and freckles, very very cute

[@noradennis4361]

Absolutely adorable! YES! I 'd love to see another mini makeover.

[@melwoods8411]

She is adorable. Love the flower so pretty just finishes it off nicely

[@verboselie]

One of my favorites that you’ve done so far! I especially love that you made her flower 🌸 Impeccable as always!

[@jeanzyc.5103]

This kind of doll is one of my favorites. I personally don't watch the scary kind of dolls you do because I don't enjoy them. This is so cute. Great job

[@moonbeamfaerie]

Beautiful as always, my dear! Thank you for including Thumbelina she is one of my all time favorites and so often forgotten. Speaking of unsung heroes, I would adore seeing your interpretation of the Lady Amalthea aka the Last Unicorn. I know you can bring to life this delicate beauty 😍 I meant to also say on your Mushroom Doll, what a beautiful job you did bringing that concept to life. You have such a talented fan base and it's beautiful that you collaborate and create with them as well as for them, putting 100% effort. You're wonderful! Take care!

[@stacysimons1323]

Yes to Lady Amalthea!! I love that character so much! The movie makes me cry every time.

[@bridgetmcqueen8094]

I was hoping you would add some sort of foliage under the flower. It looked bizarre before you, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I also saw a lady with tan skin and ginger hair on Pinterest a bit ago (maybe a few days) when I wasn't looking for that combo, and I think it looks great. You knocked her out of the park, Poppen. 👏

[@timfox8688]

Yes! Please More Minis!!! I love Barbie Extra Mini!!!

[@GuitarChik]

LOVED Thumbelina when I was a kid!!

[@alyssa8167]

I have never seen the movie but I really love how she turned out! The rose and grass too!

[@JuhCashewtree]

She's so adorable!!! I'd love to see your version of her fairy prince partner, too!

[@scrub456]

I loved the Thumbelina movie growing up, but not many people I know even remember it exists. I think you re-imagined her perfectly here. 🥰

[@paulablannkenship4540]

Wow! Her eye color is stunning!

[@tuffgirl922]

Love the color of her eyes, they are a perfect match for her hair color! Being a ginger though, not as much a fan of her darker skin tone. Bravo on another successful recreation, much prettier than she was originally.

[@lindenjenesse5078]

She is just lovely, Maryna!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@tracygardner6318]

Beautiful job with the doll out of the flower alone but together wow

[@bobbiesox6289]

She is so cute!! Yes, I would love more of these dolls and maybe some little spooky dolls!!

[@jpaul1761]

Absolutely love this teeny doll! Definitely make more of this style! But I do love the monster high as well of course 🥰🥰🥰

[@ruthkaiser6168]

Very cute. Love her whole picture package. 💜

[@gentle.unicorn]

she is so cute, you always go above and beyond with your designs! the flower base is so creative, thoughtful, and adorable!!

[@AmmiisNeverland]

I love these new dolls coming out that have stockier figures rather than the regular thin Barbie or Monster High dolls. Also she’s gorgeous! I’m gonna go rewatch Thumbelina now haha loved it as a kid and you’ve really gotten me all nostalgic, so I need to watch it now 🥰

[@LovinSunshine97]

Hey, I just wanted to say that I love your videos and they are one of the very few things that help me when I’m having really bad anxiety. Your videos just make me feel relaxed and help me focus on something else; they make me very happy. My dream is buying one of your dolls. Thank you so much for making these videos. Wishing you lots of love ❤️

[@heatherfeather2156]

This is one of my favorites so far. It would be so cute if you did a tiny doll version of Tinker bell. With your style I know it would be just so cute!

[@nataliasclarandi8204]

Don Bluth’s Thumbelina is the one I grew up with recalling the most during the stay at the hospital for my heart surgery at age 4, & out of the 2 “Disney” labels it’s the most recognizable.

[@slime42069]

She turned out gorgeous! Honestly these dolls are pretty cute, i would get one! Would definitely love to see more of these dolls customized by you!♡

[@thaisgregorio2734]

I love how delicate this project is. She is lovely, one of your best creations yet! I would definitely love to see more of these mini dolls, maybe a fairy with a little house?

[@pababygirl]

She is absolutely gorgeous!!! 💙💚💜

[@seraphale]

Yes, mooore! Haha, I love the flower too. It looked like so much fun!

[@TheSpiderGoddess]

I love the idea of doing more barbie mini' projects. They would be really cute for lil fairies, kitsune, and so on

[@skyounkin]

She looks gorgeous! I do hope to see more of this type of doll!

[@ZayaMillis]

I love the Barbie Extra Minis, I would love to see more repaints of them. I also would love to see you repaint one of the Barbie Extra Mini Minis.

[@julianybezerra6597]

OMG SHES SUPER ADORABLE! Her faceup is the cutest ever and together with the outfit and rose plataforme its just angelic... I love seeing fairy dolls, so maybe it would be nice if you did a collection of flower inspired dolls, like a wisteria doll, forget me not doll and so on 🤩

[@janis6363]

So sweet and beautiful sitting on the flower is ultimate Thumbelina. Good work. I want her but regretfully, decumulating my life at my age now. Love your art in dollmaking. 😘🫶🏻

[@catherynekeyleigh]

She looks like a Mini Ornella Muti ^^. Very cute and a fantastic Diorama.

[@beverlygliege3472]
