Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Little Match Girl is a 1937 animated short film produced by Charles Mintz and directed by Arthur Davis.It is, no prizes for guessing, an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's short story "The Little Match Girl," though it takes place in a comparably more modern setting than the original.It's New Year's Eve in (what appears to be) New York City and revelers are out at midnight celebrating the New Year. None of the people out drinking and partying seem to notice a little girl who's clad only in a ragged dress, walking around barefoot in the cold, snowy winter. Some even cruelly heckle her. The little girl is trying to sell matches, but nobody buys any—the little girl is also homeless, so when she fails to sell any of her matches, she retreats back to her regular spot in an alley. Lighting the matches one at a time for warmth, she imagines all the things she doesn't have, like a warm hearth, food, and a comfy bed. Eventually she has a dream of heaven.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare The Little Matchgirl, a Disney adaptation of this story from 2006. | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
| The Little Match Girl (1937) / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: All the citizens in the streets who're celebrating the New Year take no notice of the begging girl on the ground trying to sell matches. The ones who DO notice just toot their horns at her. At one point, when a group notices her staring hungrily into a restaurant (where a chef is making what appear to be pancakes), they scare her and then laugh at her. | |

Adapted Out | |
| The Little Match Girl (1937) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: This version contains no mention of the match girl having Abusive Parents, or any parents at all, implying that she stayed out in the cold because she had no home to go back to, not because she was afraid to go home and face a beating for failing to sell any matches. Also, she's carried to Heaven by a random angel, not the spirit of her dead grandmother. | |
