I hope someone out there can remember these 2 movies that I saw when I was younger than 10... Late 70's, early 80's.

MOVIE #1
This movie is about an American Indian kid who is forced by his parents to spend the summer at his Grandfather's ranch. He doesn't care about his indian heritage. His Indian grandfather is trying to instill some pride in the boy about being an Indian. He gives the boy a horse, but the horse has a lame leg. The boy finds a pool of water on the grandfather's land. When the horse's leg gets wet, he is healed. The boy takes to being an Indian and he helps his Grandfather save his land.

MOVIE #2
There is a little orphan kid who gets chased by these bad guys through the woods. I think he may have a little dog. The kid is all dirty and his clothes are tattered. He falls into a well or a pond or something, and the movie turns to an animated movie. He is able to live underwater and he escapes the bad guys. He befriends the fish and creatures that live in the water. Later he leaves the water to go get his girl friend from the bad guys. At the end of the movie, the boy and the girl jump into the water and live there.


PLEASE HELP... THIS IS KILLING ME THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THESE MOVIES. IF YOU GET THIS ONE, I HAVE ANOTHER MOVIE THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME.

Not sure - is the second one a film based on the classic story "the waterbabies"?

YES! The Waterbabies... that is it. My daughters will love that movie. I was trying to explain it to them before. That is where this all started. Now I need the one about the indian boy. Thanks for the waterbabies though.
