Plot synopsis
Based on the tale by Charles Perrault
One day, a woodcutter, his wife and his sons leave to pick mushrooms. The boys get lost in the forest, not far from the Ogre's cottage. The servant of the Ogre, a kind woman, hides the children. But the Ogre finds them and locks them up to eat them the next day. The boys save themselves thanks to the youngest of them, Tom Thumb, who steals the key and the magic bag of the Ogre and leads his brothers to the house.
