This movie came on YTV (Canadian youth television channel) all the time when I was a kid, which was in the early 90's but the movie I think was made probably in the early 80's. What I remember most is these kids going to this fantasy land, I think the kids meet this blonde midget, little guy in a field... anyway, what really sticks out is that this land worships this giant blob in the ground that when you put people in it , they turn to butterfly people. There was queen and king present at this butterfly/blob ceremony.
So if you remember a movie with a giant god like blob that turned people into butterfly people please let me know the movie's title!

(The people sort of looked cirque de soleil-ish.)

This is the 1987 Canadian movie "The Great Land of Small", in which a leprechaun takes two kids from our world into a magical realm that includes a floating boulder-thing called Slimo that transmogrifies creatures into butterflies. Some of the people looked Cirque du Soleil-ish because they WERE from Cirque du Soleil. In a kind and just world, they would never have been seen again. Curse you, infernal French-Canadian clowns!
