Summary: Magical fun for the whole family.
Review: I first saw this movie with my younger sisters. I have always loved animations, but this movie was beyond anything I ever imagined. The innocence of this movie, the magic of the musical score, the captivating characters and the profound lesson to be learnt are all part of what makes this the best animated movie in my books. In an age when kids are engrossed in violence on TV, it is good to be able to pull out this classical family cartoon and take them back to the days when innocence prevailed.
I was thrilled when this was released on DVD because now I can watch it over and over without worrying that the tape will wear out. A must for anyone's collection!

Summary: Probably the best kids animated film ever
Review: Let me say flat-out that my uncle was the Musical Director for this movie. His name is on the Credits, Dennis Leogrande, as large as a credit can me. That being said, I have seen this video about a thousand times. I was force-fed the video at many family gatherings as well as when it was released back in 1986. After a 10 year or more hiatus from viewing this video, it recently resurfaced while moving videos around in the cabinet. I picked it up, and was like, eh...i'm bored. So i popped it into the VCR and started to watch. The quality of the tape was quite bad from sitting in the cabinet for so long, but i could still see the video loud and clear. First: the plot. The story is a bit like fern gully, but in most ways better. No, the animation is not as good as ferngully, but it is defintly more vivid. Through the simple animation, the story gets across in a much better way. It's like he-man or the smurfs. the story is what counts. I heard, though, that the animation was totally re-done for DVD. But i digress. The plot and characters are awesome, the Punk meets Run DMC Mushroom, the shy painter, and the excessivly hate-able Emperor Spine are voiced AWESOMELY in the story. Every bit of the plot fits together, and characters are well developed. Will your kids like it? yea! even though there are some scary parts, nothing that kids can't handle (even the little ones). It's tense though, at parts, especially in the race against time! And the message comes out: Good vs Evil, respect the Forest, Animals are good, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself! This movie is a can't miss! Buy it now! An instant classic!

Summary: A wonderfully Magical Fantasy Adventure!
Review: This is my fave film of all time. I watched this movie on VHS until the tape burned out!! It's simply so magical and exciting. The storyline is a wonder. I love the entire magic perfume concept. It's simply the best. A lifetime family classic. Brings back many many memories. Now please Fern Gully, Little Nemo, Once Upon a Forest, Jetsons the Movie, He-Man, She-Ra, and so much more get released on DVD. Also great great lifetime classics.

Summary: Great Underrated animated flick!
Review: This movie has gained a cult following since it's popular showing on the Disney Channel, It's a European-American animated fantasy about a Painter named " Peter" who falls asleep under a mystic Elm and goes into another Dimension where animals talk and things are magical. He goes on a quest to battle a evil fiend called " The Catcus King" called " Emperor Spine" who wants to rule the forest. Very weird yet entertaining animated flick that can work well with a Pink Floyd album to give it a psychedelic feeling, the animation is quite good, the villain is cool ( even though he looks like a villain from the Super Mario video games), a really cool Disco song segment called " Mushroom Power" and this movie has also got the sexiest animated furry chick called " Fifi Fox" whom just might rival Minerva Mink and Princess Sally Acorn for sexiest furry, she's got a cute butt, great body and nice French accent which makes her one of my personal dreamgirls. Similar Movies recommended: The Princess Bride, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Wizard of Oz, The Last Unicorn, The Dark Crystal, Rock & Rule, Harry Potter, Troll, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, The Flight of Dragons, Return to Oz, The Secret of NIMH, Labyrinth, Spirited Away and A Boy named Charlie Brown.
