This is a tough one... 80's - early 90's TV show/movie
OK
I saw this animated show/movie (can't remember which it was) on TV when I was really young. It couldn't have been before 1985. It involved a witch or sorcerer who had the ablity to turn people into stone. The villain hyponotized the young men of the village and used them to round up all the adults so he/she could turn the townspeople into stone, and ultimately used the stone bodies to build his/her castle.
I think the protagonists included a little boy, a talking cat and some other fantastical creature(s).
I remember one scene where one of the hypnotized young men (the older brother of the young hero) was forced to bring his parents to the villain to be turned to stone.
If anyone knows anything about this... pleassssee let me know... I remember really enjoying the music to it, and id like to find out what it was.
