I have a movie or TV show I have been trying to remember the name of.. there was a lot of mythical creatures and I think the movie was made in the late 80's or 90's there was a girl I guess she needed help getting through some woods to get somewhere and these 2 guys helped her because they were paid to. One of the guys fell in love with her and I remember at one point they met this old guy in the woods that sold them some creature in a bird cage that would help them out. I think the girl got mad at the guys and left trying to find her own way out and got lost, and someone stole her. When the guys found out someone took her all I remember was the guy that was in love with her started running and there were a lot of brown leaves everywhere on the ground and it was a long pathway he was running down through the leaves. Im not sure but I think maybe one of the guys was like a werewolf or something. Its been driving me crazy for years I can't figure it out and I only remember small parts of it I know it sounds crazy but I hope someone can help lol

This might be a long shot but it sounds like jumbled up bits of 10th Kingdom (or one part of it. It is a mini-series):

"The 10th Kingdom" (2000) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207275/)
