All right, so I have had these two movies stuck in my head forever now, and I can't for the life of me remember their names.

The first one was a story of... woodland creatures that wore clothes and could talk, and I remember there being some mice, and 1 character was a porcupine? I remember they ended up building some sort of flying machine, and I only remember vague clips, but I think it being a little darker than most of the cartoons I remember as a child. But that's all I remember. For some reason, the title reminded me of "The Rescuers" but I am not talking about that series with the mice; rescuers, and rescuers down under. I thought it was a 2 part name, "the ______s" which doesn't help at all, but trying to get everything I remember in :]

The second film was about a boy... who had some sort of magic? Maybe a green thumb or something? And he had a pig nose I think? Anyway, he is in this village, and an evil... woman? And some sort of sidekick trick him into something. I think he gets turned to stone, or tricked into betraying the village and kicked out, or something along those lines.

First one is Once Upon a Forest (1993) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107745/)

Sorry I have no idea about the second one

The second one sounds like A Troll in Central Park (1994) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108395/)

Thank you so much Albear. Right on the money. Been phuggin looking for that film for about 3 years now to no avail. Worked in 3 different movie stores (Not for that reason mind you) and idly checked each store and couldn't find anything that matched with my memory haha.

Thanks :]

And no Quinn, after posting, I realized what I posted sounded a lot like that film, and I remember that one, and it wasn't it. That one is a very fuzzy memory, so I hate that I can't say more.

If I remember correctly, most of the film, or at least the ending important scenes were all in winter? Maybe the bad guy (The lady) controlled winter or something? I think my memories of the movie are crossing over with memories of a troll in central park, but I do remember snow being a very important factor to the movie. Maybe she froze the main character in ice? It was set in an medievalish time age.
