When I was younger I remember three distinct movies I used to watch.One was of course The Last Unicorn, probably the most popular of the three.
The other two I'm having trouble finding, maybe someone might know them.

-the first movie was animation about a little brown haired boy with an odd name,maybe something that started with an M.He went to bed one night and had this long dream about some sort of "dreamworld" I think. It involved his nightmares too and he had to do all these things in order to get back home or whatever... I can see certain images in my mind but I can't find anything online that helps me to figure out what it's called.

-the second movie was not a cartoon,it was about a boy and a girl and they went upstairs to their attic and found a picture of either their parents or grandparents.they must have been living with either one.Some how they went into this world that looked all cartoon-y and fake.almost like the Willy Wonka candy world haha.. anyways at one point they go into this house/dome of glass place and there is something inside a glass jar,just like in Beauty and the Beast with the rose and rose petals,you know?
Its hard to recall anymore details but the biggest part was that it had real people and no animation.I hope that makes it easier to find the name.

Was it possibly an after school special, the first one you mentioned reminded me of, I believe an after school special, and the boy maybe was in some sort of library or something.
I'll check with my son that is 22 now and watched a lot of TV then, he seems to remember a lot about that time frame and the shows that were on.
Get back to you!

Little Nimo is the one about a dream I think because it describe an old arcade game as well
Which I believe is based on a cartoon

Yeah that's right it is Little Nemo! Thank you I've been racking my brain for the title of that for a long time.

The second movie might be Hugga A Bunch the Movie. There is a queen that has a glass full of these cherries that keep her young.
