Once Upon a Forest

A sign that this movie is still just as entertaining to the new generation: My friend's four year old sister just watched it and she couldn't take her eyes off the screen until it was over (71 minutes).
Well that's all I have to say, except it is not a Disney movie, while it is very similar to Disney movies, it is actually made by Fox Video.
Another great movie is the Princess and the Goblin. I can't understand why these movies are so unknown, They are great. Some parts still make me laugh.
That's the end of my review, but if you want to know more about the movie you can read on. This is what the back of the box says:
"In this rousing, magical adventure filled with whimsy, laughter, and charm, a host of fun-loving characters takes you on an unforgettable journey in a land called Dapplewood. One day three Furling friends, Abigail the wood mouse, Edgar the mole and Russell the hedgehog, find their tranquil lives greatly disrupted. A chemical spill has destroyed Dapplewood and their young friend Michelle becomes seriously ill from the toxic fumes. Counting on their own ingenuity and the skills they learned from their teacher Cornelius, they take off on an exciting, but dangerous journey to find help for their friend. Their wisdom soon pays off and they set about to restore Dapplewood to its original splendor."

Once Upon a Forest is a wonderful movie and it should definately come out on DVD.

Finally,"Once Upon A Forest", one of the top American animated movies ever, is on its way to DVD! An absolute delight for all ages; three unforgettable small Furlings, the clever and charming mouse Abigail, the rambunctious hedgehog Russel, and the bespectacled little mole Edgar, set out to find a cure for their friend Michelle, who's deathly ill after a chemical spill devastates the Furlings's forest home Dapplewood. An exciting, moving adventure that 24 or 84 year-olds can enjoy as much as four year-olds, with cute and wonderful animation. Among the highest rankers of all movies on the 'adorableness' scale.

Also recommended are "The Little Polar Bear", "Scamper the Penguin", and, in a somewhat different style, "Kiki's Delivery Service". All great animated treasures.

One day at work my co-workers (who are all between 18-24) and i were talking about great movies from our childhood... Once upon a forest was one of them, and i thought it was interesting and cute that this movie was loved and remembered by young adults of both sexes. I would definately reccommend this movie, it was adorable and all around great.
