Thumbelina
The tale opens with a fairy giving a peasant's wife a barley-corn. Once planted, a Tiny Girl, Thumbelina, emerges from its flowers. One night, Thumbelina, asleep in her walnut-shell cradle, is carried off by a toad who wants the miniature maiden as a bride for her son.
Walt Disney Pictures - The Hunchback of Notre Dame (The Daniel P. Collins Version)
In 1482 Paris, Clopin, a gypsy puppeteer, narrates the origin of the titular hunchback. A
group of gypsies sneak illegally into Paris, but are ambushed by Judge Claude Frollo, the minister of justice. A gypsy woman from the group
attempts to flee with her deformed baby, but Frollo chases and kills her
outside Notre Dame. He tries
to kill the baby as well [believing the baby to be an unholy demon], but is stopped by the cathedral's archdeacon, who accuses Frollo of murdering an innocent woman. To
atone for his sin, Frollo agrees to raise the deformed child in Notre Dame as
his son, naming him Quasimodo.

The Mouse and His Child - 1977
The
Mouse and his child are two parts of a single small wind-up toy, which must be
wound up by means of a key in the father's back. After having been unboxed,
they discover themselves in a toy shop where they befriend a toy elephant and
toy seal. The child mouse proposes staying at the shop to form a family, which
the other toys ridicule. After falling from a counter and becoming broken, they
are thrown in the trash. Outside, they become enslaved by Manny the Rat, who
runs a casino in the city dump and uses broken wind-up toys as his slave labor
force. With the aid of a psychic frog, the mice escape and meet various animal
characters on a quest of becoming free and independent "self-winding"
toys. They rediscover the elephant and seal, who are somewhat broken down, and
manage to form a family and destroy the rat empire.
