This is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking shorts that I've seen in my life. It captures perfectly well all the beauty and sadness from the original tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, having a gorgeous animation and excellent music.
One would think that being done by Disney, the heartbreaking elements from the original story would be toned down. Instead of that, this wonderful little animation remains entirely faithful to the source material and that's why it so incredible.
Without any single spoken word, "The Little Matchgirl" is able to express much more emotion than many dramatic live-action films. As an adaptation, it was simply flawless. As an independent work, it is just sublime.
10/10 (I would give this eleven stars if I could)
