The Little Matchgirl
Directed by Roger Allers
Produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios
A poignant, visually tender adaptation of Andersen's tragedy that uses magical visions to explore longing, loss, and the gap between a child's desperate dreams and her harsh reality.
An animated short based on Hans Christian Andersen's tale about a poor young girl with a burning desire to find comfort and happiness in her life. Desperate to keep warm, the girl lights the matches she sells, and envisions a very different life for herself in the fiery flames filled with images of loving relatives, bountiful food, and a place to call home.
