I used to watch a film all the time as a child. I barely remember it but I have been trying to find it for a while. The only thing that I really remember was that there was something about faeries that work with, or feed fire. They have to switch off to make sure it doesn't go out. One faerie runs away I think and her friend says that she will watch hers but the one doesn't come back in time and the friend ends up dying. I apologize if this is so vague, but I would really like to find the title of this movie. Thank you.

Is this a cartoon? How long ago are you talking about?
