The Little Matchgirl (2006)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Little Matchgirl is a 2006 animated short film from Disney, directed by Roger Allers.It is, as one might guess, an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen story "The Little Match Girl". A little girl in Tsarist Russia tries selling her matches on a cold winter day, but no one is buying. It turns out the girl is homeless. She goes back, defeated, to her "home" in a narrow alley. Sitting in the bitter cold and snow, she lights her matches for warmth. As the matches temporarily give her warmth, the little girl dreams of a warm hearth, and a lavish dinner, and finally of a carriage that takes her to a dacha in the country where she imagines visiting her grandmother.This short was originally made for a proposed Fantasia 2006 feature film, but when that project was cancelled, The Little Matchgirl was released as a stand-alone short. Compare The Little Match Girl, a 1937 animated short adaptation from Columbia Cartoons that is quite similar.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Little Matchgirl (2006) / int_64f3ea6e	comment	Disneyfication: Mostly averted. The short follows the story pretty faithfully, including the little girl freezing to death, but it also omits the abusive father mentioned in the story and makes the girl homeless instead.

The Little Matchgirl (2006) / int_794f3589	comment	Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Although one might guess that the kindly old woman who greets the little matchgirl at the dacha is her grandmother, nothing identifies her as that in the short since there is no dialogue. (In the 1937 short, the grandmother is Adapted Out and it's an angel that takes the little girl to heaven.) Similarly to the 1937 short, the abusive father mentioned in the story is also Adapted Out.
