    80s kids movie: girl walks through mirror into magical land
    OK. So I cannot for the life of me figure out the name of this movie. I watched it I'm thinking in the late 80s. There was a girl (and possibly a boy, her brother maybe) who walked through a mirror in the bedroom and entered some other magical land. There was an evil queen there who had a tree that grew these weird plum/peach-like fruits that looked like they were covered in sugar. Something bad was going to happen if all the fruit fell from the tree. It was in a glass case. I also think there were these weird babies? Wearing metallic diapers? (I had these dolls from the movie. They gave them away with kids' meals at fast food restaurants). This is driving me nuts. My memories are sketchy but others know what I'm talking about and no one can figure out the name. Help!

    I LOVE YOU!! I can't believe this actually came up when I searched Google, girl in mirror late 80's children's movie... Your question sounds like word for word what I asked my little sister, except you remembered a lot more than I did, but I love the part about boy.. maybe brother, I said the same thing! I loved this movie growing up! I'm so excited! :)

    I thought you were talking about the movie where there are 2 kids... a boy and a girl. They go through this mirror. End up in a forest... and the people are like... duck mutants. And there is this queen duck. And she wants to turn the 2 kids into tea. That's what Im trying to figure out.

    How is this possible that we are all looking for the same childhood movie. I had the same memory of the mirror, but I kept thinking cabbage patch or something. I googled it and found this. You guys are AWESOME! I want to see this movie so bad, only remember pieces from my childhood. Born 1981

    Thanks

    Yeah its Magic in the Mirror if you're talking about the duck people movie as opposed to the creepy cabbage patch looking toys.
    I couldn't remember a thing about it but the duck people.


    I think you can watch the whole movie here in parts.

    I've been trying to remember the name of the Hugga Bunch movie for the better part of TEN YEARS.

    I'm in tears over here! I used to always insist on renting it, but back then I could never remember the names of movies. I just liked the covers. This is such a sweet blast of nostalgia - THANK YOU EVERYONE!

    This is crazy, ever since I was little I have been trying to look for this movie! Could never remember much of it except for the mirror, I kept thinking of care bears or strawberry shortcake ( I don't know why) and every few years I would Google it! And finally I found this! And what's even more crazy is all the people who were wondering the same question!!

    THANK YOU!!

    For those of you searching for this film, as I have been for years now, I managed to find links to watch it online after a forum like this one told me it's name! I'm born in '89 and I remember this movie from when I was younger. My parents used to rent it for me all of the time and even though I was scared of the darker parts of this movie, I must have loved it for it to have stuck with me for so long! Part of me thought I had made it all up and I have searched the web a countless number of times with the most vague search criteria like "girl goes through mirror into magical land movie" or "old movie where girl goes through mirror" -- that's all I could really remember. I just watched the film and I can't believe how much I remembered from it! Thanks everyone, for helping me cope with this weird childhood memory... I thought I must have been crazy or something, as my parents did not remember the film at all (of course, they never watched it with me... )

    You can watch The Hugga Bunch here! : http://www.moviesdatacenter.com/Movies/The-Hugga-Bunch-1985.html

    OMG, I cannot believe that there are so many other people out there who were searching for the name of this movie!

    I only watched it once as a kid but have always remembered it... well parts of it... and none of my friends have ever seen it - they all thought I was crazy when I asked them about it.

    I remembered the mirror and the magic fruit and the evil queen... but I also seemed to remember that the girl's grandma was sick and that the magic fruits would help her get better - is this right?? Or am I getting confused?

    Thank you all for helping me on my quest to prove I am not insane and I did actually watch this movie growing up, not just dream it.

    And I am still amazed that by typing "childrens movie, magic plums" into Google that this came up! :)

    My sister and I have been talking about this movie for years. We both loved this movie from our childhood but could never remember the name. We didn't think anyone else would have a clue, so it is funny that you described it just how we have been.

    Magic in the Mirror (96)

    -More info-
    There is a sequel.

    Magic in the Mirror: Fowl Play (1996) - IMDb


    All three of these movies are asked about frequently at all movie Q&A sites. Obviously, they left an impression on a lot of people, as did "Warriors of Virtue", "The Quest" aka "Frog Dreaming", "The Witching of Ben Wagner", and "The Watcher in the Woods".

    No it wasn't the sequel, in this they were in the fantasy land, walking along side a mountain top, had the big elephant looking thing grey or brown dreads and a few other character's around the rainbow bright era, no munchkin's or ducks lol... But thanks I will check the other titles you just named off as well to see if any of those might be them.

    I was remarking about the sequel because some peple aren't aware there is one. But, if they enjoy the first movie, they might like to see the second one. I was not saying that you were looking for the sequel, just suggesting that you might like it.

    I'm very aware that the film being described was "The Hugga Bunch", as I've ID'd it dozens of times at other sites.
