So I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid and it has been really bothering me for some reason that I can't remember it. It is about a kid, I think a boy, who finds a creature, possibly an alien or maybe a kid sasquatch. The creature is the focus of the whole film. He is a kids height and a little chubby, but covered in fur, almost like a little ALF. Anyway, the kid tries to help the creature hide, etc. There is a treehouse as well that I think they use to hide it in.

I remember seeing this in either the late 80s or early 90s. I am also pretty sure that it was shown on Wonderful World of Disney because I watched that every week and the two memories seem to go together. This may mean that it was a made for TV movie because they were known for doing that a lot back then. I have searched their information, but found nothing.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, it is not e.t. or mac and me...

Could it be Pod People? I've only seen the MST3K episode ("Mystery Science Theater 3000" Pod People (TV episode 1991) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0776186/)) but that was about a boy who finds a fur-covered alien that's kid-sized, and was made in 1983.

I was making a green smoothie and as I poured it into my mason jar, the pale green color caused me to have a weird flashback and I remembered tiny snippets from this movie. My sister and I scoured the internet and finally figured it out. Woohoo!! Here's a link to the green drink scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k72TRiWqpc
