Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tiny Tiptoes (better known by the title Tiptoes) is a 2003 drama film that deals with a woman coming to terms with the fact that her boyfriend's family are little people, and her shock when she learns their child (which she becomes pregnant with) may be a little person as well.Steven (Matthew McConaughey) and Carol (Kate Beckinsale) are in a loving relationship and plan to get married, but things change quickly when she discovers that she's pregnant, prompting Steven to reveal that his family are little people. After she meets his relatives, including his twin brother Rolfe (Gary Oldman), Carol is torn between whether or not to abort her child, all while she begins to learn more about little people culture. At the same time, Rolfe and his best friend, Maurice (Peter Dinklage), campaign for the rights of little people at various conventions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film was directed by Matthew Bright, formerly of Oingo Boingo and also known for his film Freeway. Due to a tumultuous production, the film was never released theatrically and instead went direct-to-DVD. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Tiny Tiptoes / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: The film (and characters) claims that Steven and Carol's baby automatically has dwarfism due to Steven's lineage, and this is the conclusion she reaches after researching dwarf birth rates. However, this is incorrect. The most common form of dwarfism (known as "achondroplasia") can only be inherited if either parent has it, which is obviously not the case. For the less common forms of inheritable dwarfism, it is only possible to have a child with it if both parents' families have a history of dwarfism, and the film does not show Carol's family to have such a history. In fact, Steve being the only average-sized individual from a family of little people makes it overwhelmingly likely that he did not inherit any genes for dwarfism, and therefore has a next-to-nothing chance of having a child with it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Tiny Tiptoes / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Several subplots in the film were dropped, likely as a result of the film being re-edited from its original cut due to executive demands. The subplot involving Rolfe and his on-again, off-again girlfriend gets dropped and has no effect on the film. Similarly, Maurice disappears during the final act (after Lucy leaves him) without any real explanation. There are also hints that Steven may be having an affair with one of his students that appears briefly but this is never referred to again. | |

Anywhere but Their Lips: Carol attempts to do this in the beginning with Steven (by kneeling down and unzipping his pants), but he rebuffs her before leaving for his convention. | |
