Hi guys,

I'm new. Haha. And I've never seen a site that, as it seems, is so helpful in helping people out :) So, I decided to see if you guys could help me out. I have been trying to figure out the name of a kid's movie I saw when I was a kid in the 80s/ early 90s. This movie had puppets, if I remember correctly... like the Jim Henson kind of puppets. And, I think they were all creatures or animals, except for one small kid, on this adventure; and the actual scenery in their world was all very puppet-like, even the plants and stuff.

I remember that their adventure dealt a lot with SHAPES, like the puppets would find a circle or a square and figure out how to use it. And, then I think they eventually had to find a key to unlock this cage; and my memory seems to remember that a lot of it took place in a forest-like place, at night.

If anyone can figure this one out, man you would be awesome!! Haha.
I've been trying to think of it for a while now, and nothing is coming to mind.

Thanks,
Kevin

Sorry if I'm wrong but that's not Dark Crystal is it?

Nope. It definitely did not have such a dark feel to it... and it might not have even been night the whole time. Though, when it was dark, the scenery was still lit up, and had a very peaceful feel to it.

It might have been an educational video, as well, since it dealt with shapes, but I'm not sure.

thanks for the quick response =) I look forward to more.

oh, man. Nope. Not Sesame Street. I think most of the movie takes place in a jungle-like place, at night. Thanks for the responses, guys =) I really appreciate it. Keep 'em comin'!

It's a long shot, but maybe it's The Hugga Bunch (1985) (TV) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0173915/)

Oh, man! We are getting close. The way the scenery looks, and the puppets remind me a LOT of it. The only thing different is that the puppets are a bit taller, and of course the plot is different. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your effort, Blue Angel =) It wasn't a long shot, it was actually really close! Haha.

I'm going to keep searching, if you guys will.
Thanks, everyone, keep it up!

I have been looking for this movie for about five years. I remember it ending in a forrest with a bunch of animals singing a and dancing. All puppets and tree people Exeter for the one little kid. I kind of remember it being more lit up then you describe though.
