Forgive the vagueness of this question... I was born in 1985 and watched a cartoon movie (not a series) when I was very young (I'm thinking pre-90s). I can recall images of the movie and a vague plot. It was about a boy who was in a jungle temple type of place that was retrieving and gathering orbs/spheres/balls to prevent an evil force using them for bad deeds... That's all I can remember..

Sounds like The Thief and the Cobbler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thief_and_the_Cobbler)
