I remember one of the main characters was a young boy. He finds himself in a fantasy/type wooded area, where someone has made a house/residence in a huge tree. The boy is poking around the tree and he sees this little furry creature, almost like a little kid, only covered in fur. The creature can move so fast you can't even see him. It turns out the tree/house belongs to a man and the super fast creature is his pet/companion.

Next, the man, boy, and fast-creature break into this evil castle-type fortress. Some ogre-like guards are playing cards, and the team break someone out of the fortress.

That's all I can remember. Anybody have any idea what movie this is?

I believe it's the great ewok adventure I know its one of the ewok movies because I definetely remember that scene just not sure which one ^_^

You are wonderful Justcallmekat! My faith was starting to dwindle in the fact that this would ever be answered. I've ordered a few ewok movies through the local library and I'll let you know which one it is! Thanks a million!

You were right Justcallmekat, it was "Ewoks, Battle for Endor"! Just did some research, thanks to Wikipedia!
