Small correction: it’s a danish tale, not dutch.
As a Lego fansite you wouldn’t want to enrage any Danes, would you?

More corrections:
1) “Scratch has chosen” not “chose”.
2) His name is Hans Christian Andersen, not Anderson.
He was not in “The Matrix”. :)

Well not that we know of…
I’ve read a lot of Olde Grimms and Hans Christian Andersen but never read the Little Match girl. I have to say that it is easilly the most morbidly depressing tale I’ve heard if only for the simple bleakness of her short and unpleasant life.

Great build/ use of mime parts.
That said, the longer this stays at the top of TBB, the more sad I’m getting, just before Christmas! :’S
