PLEASE HELP!
I don't think anyone will be able to help me identify the title of this movie, since I have been trying to figure it out for YEARS! I remember very little about the film, but remember watching it once when I was very young. It could be from the 70's (possibly earlier), but I was born in 1982, so it was probably from the early 80's. So I think we can rule out anything past 1990.
I feel like the setting of the movie was in Europe, Scotland, or that it was set in Ireland, but lol... I could be way off on that.
There was a very magical, mystical, fairytale like quality to the film, but it was in full color and not an animation.
Here are the bits I remember:
*somehow (I think two) children are introduced (tricked, guided, stumble upon?) an entry to a magical world.
*I remember a lot of green, meadow-like, forest glades (like what you imagine you would see in Ireland) and I think that is where they enter and exit this world.
*I am not sure if there was a unicorn, rainbow, or leprechaun present that introduced them to the entrance (as I don't have a clear memory of it), but I feel like they might all or some have been in this movie in some way.
*Once in the magical world, I don't think the kids can escape and I think this "fairy" like land (again not sure if really fairies) seems to want to keep the kids and transform them to stay with them forever.
*I remember a masquerade like quality to the costumes in this world. I specifically remember winged character, like a butterfly woman whom (I believe had been transformed to be that?).
*I also remember something about this pit, or mudpile, swampy place that seemed to be alive with some sort of spirit or possess magic that I think transformed you.
*I think I remember seeing a jester juggling
*I think I remember mist/fog?
*The costumes were pretty fancy and there was face paint and masks? Maybe peacock feather adornments, etc.
That is about all I remember. Magical mud? Really? This description has haunted me for years and I would LOVE to just know what it was that I watched, and rest knowing that these weird vivid images where really from a movie and not some crazy hallucination trip that was probably the result of older siblings grinding something like paint chips on my food as a kid! :)
I remember seeing the movie at a friend's house and it felt so magical, but I can't find it anywhere and none of my crazy sounding clues help me come any closer to a solution.
Please help and again... sorry in advance for the crappy clue set. GOOD LUCK!
