    A children's movie about a magic forest
    Ok, I have been looking for this movie for a while, and I cannot seem to get it right. It's a children's movie that is animated, but the two main characters, who are two young girls, are live action.

    They are in this animated forest, and first come across a frog, who's feet are stuck in ice. They help him, and he joins them on their journey. The only other character I can remember is a butterfly princess who they have to help out as well. I think they needed to help her spin her cocoon to become a butterfly, or something.

    That's really all I can remember. Another thing that may help is that I remember the audio for the girls not syncing up with their lips. The audio is either messed up, or the movie was made in a totally different language.

    Please Help! I really want to find this movie!

    I know exactly what movie you're talking about! I've been searching for it for years! I don't know that name of it, sadly, but I do remember some other details.

    After the girls meet the frog and butterfly, they go into a cave. At one point some rocks fall and it's all dramatic. In the end, they meet Mother Nature and her daughters (Fall, Summer, Spring, Winter) who look like fairies.

    Most of all, I remember one of the little girls has a really short haircut, and neither of their voices matches their lips when they talk-as if the movie has been dubbed.

    Oh man, I'm so excited to find someone else looking for this movie. I was starting to think I made it up!

    It's a Russian/Romanian movie called Maria, Mirabella (1981).

    There are several clips posted on Youtube, here's the bit with the frogs feet in ice:
