Okay I remember renting a movie when I was little and it was about these different types of fairies or sprites that had to flee the forest. I think there were Earth Fairies & some kind of Fire Fairies... Does anybody know what I'm talking about? It all took place in a forest, and its not FernGully that was 90's, kindof like that, maybe that's where they got the idea of FernGully for? Fairies, Forests... anybody? Thanks! :)

Pan's Labyrinth

I fear you may be wrong here singlemom7105. Pans Labyrinth, directed by the great Guillermo Del Toro came out in cinemas last year. As far as I'm aware there was never a Pans Labyrinth film released in the 1980s or any other year.

Pan's Labyrinth

Thank you for trying to answer that question for me, it's a really tough one. Pan's Labyrinth is a lot more recent and this one I'm searching for is early 80's. If you have any other suggestions let me know! Thanks Mamma!:o

And De Niro you're right about that- either way I'm super excited to see the outcome of Pan's Labyrinth.

I'm 20 and from south africa, and have been asking this same question for the last 10 years, been searching the internet for the name recently. I've asked all my friends, but none of them have a clue about what I'm talking about! I don't know if it's the same movie (it was a really ancient copy from our video rental, we probably the only 1s that took it out), but all my sister (24) and I remember about it is, is that there are fairies in a forest and a volkswagen car (beetle - green or yellow) that races through the forest. And that the fairies are also real actors just scaled down.

Cnt believe I came across this site, so interesting! :)

The Bugaloos. They lived in Tranquility Forest and had a jeep.

Rainbow Brite?

Rainbow Brite was not about Fairies...

I've been searching for this film too for ages, well I think it may be the same film, it's called The Gnome Mobile! Has to two Mary Poppins kids in it! Just ordered my copy from Play.com! Hope this was the film everyone else has been looking for too! :)

Miss Croatia, I too am looking for a movie that I believe was made in the 80's. All I can remember was the main charaters name was Malta and she was a fire fairy and she was in love with a water fairy. Does that sound like the one your searching for. Does that ring a bell to anyone. I would love to know the name

I think your answer can be found here:

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/movies/...vie-46268.html

It should be Sea Prince and the Fire Child.

Well I also remember this movie from my Childhood, But it was definitely Ferngully...
But it was only released in 1992... is it possible you are a few years off with the date?

If not... then try this website, it has a whole list of Fairy movies...

I believe your talking about the Gnome Mobile. My mom always sings the theme song(the gnome mobile the gnome mobile were riding along in the gnome mobile what a fabulious way to feel riding along in the gnome mobile :D) It's special affects are pretty bad but I guess were really good during it's prime.

I believe you're talking about the "Dark Crystal" It's a Jim Henson movie. There's a boy a girl species that no longer exists. And the girl has wings and flies. Hope this is what you're talking about. Because I was just trying to ask myself the same question when I stumbled on yours. My boyfriend hit it on the nose. Check it out "Dark Crystal"

There is a movie that was made in 1997 called Fairy Tale: A True Story. It's about 2 girls- I was searching for it and finally found it. Not sure if this is the movie you were looking for... but I would search online for "Fairy movie lists" to help your search!

It might be faeries is it animated?
Its abut Two children holidaying on a farm are transported to Fairyland but after one eats a charmed fairy-cake they are given three tasks to complete before they can return to their own world.

Ohh thank you sooo much I thought I was the only one who remembered this movie whenever I asked people just looked at me like I was nutts. I was beginning to think I dreamed it up!! The Gnome mobile!!

I know I'm super late.. lol... but there's a movie called the sea prince and the fire child. It's a cartoon from 1981... I think you can watch some of it on YouTube...

Fern Gully

To finish what I was trying to type, fern gully reminded me of "The Last Unicorn", I don't know when that was made.

The Secret of NIMH was a good fairy movie too. It came out in 1982.

Okay, so I don't know if you have found the movie you have been looking for all this time, but I believe the movie you might be looking for is Fern Gully

Lol... nevermind my comment

I'm almost certain there was a fairy in it called 'MoonBright' or something like that, but if it is the film I'm thinking of, it was all animated - no actors, only voiced characters.

AHH! I, too, have been searching for the movie. It kills me everyday. All I remember is it being computer animated and has fairies in it with a black crow that might have followed them when they're in the forest. I also remember this little part when they're inside this kind of stone looking house and there's a wooden table. PLEASE HELP MEE!!

Thank you all so kindly :)

I also remember that the fairy town is protected by a pinkish translucent cylinder or something like that. PLEASE HELP MEEEE

There was an old movie from the early 1980's called faeries (Spelled faeries not fairies) Starring Hans Conreid and Morgan Brittany it has a blue woman who is a faerie and a young man wearing red, plot goes: A young man, Oisin "(pronounced O-sheen)" is returning home with a group of huntsmen from an unsuccessful hunt when a faerie appears to him and takes him to her father, the Faerie King. The King begs Oisin to travel to Squalor Web Castle and defeat the evil Shadow who threatens Faerie Land. Oisin and his faerie helper Puck travel to the castle, encountering hags and goblins. They also save a Kobald from evil Trows. Eventually the three arrive at the lake, beyond which sits the castle. After meeting an irish faerie who attempts to dissuade them from their mission, they arrive at the castle. Avoiding Red Caps, the Shadow's evil soldiers, Oisin makes his way to the tallest tower, defeats the Shadow, and returns to Faerie Land for a celebration before returning to his companions. Most of it takes place in a forest and the shadow is shapped like a dragon. I can only find it on VHS.

Or it could be faeries: the later version 1999 plot: While waiting for their new home to be renovated, Nellie and her younger brother George are sent to a farm in the countryside, much to George's delight and Nellie's disgust. However, the farmhouse and the surrounding area are teeming with fairy creatures, and the first the two children encounter is a hobgoblin named Broom who is (more or less) secretly looking after the farm.
While playing outside, George inadvertently stumbles into a fairy ring and ends up in the realm of fairies. Nellie, alerted by Broom, goes after him, but arrives only just in time to find George eating from a fairy cake. The law of the realm states that a mortal who consumes fairy food must remain in the realm forever. Nellie and George strongly - and vociferously - protest, however, and so the Fairy Prince, the ruler of the realm, offers them a chance by setting three tasks for them. However, what they do not know is that the evil brother of the Prince, the Shapeshifter, tries to manipulate the children to usurp the rulership of the fairy realm. In addition, the Prince falls in love with the human farmhand Brigid, which proves pivotal in an old prophecy which foretells the future for the fairy realm.
