    Yea that's not the right movie. Did you ever figure out the name? Because I'm trying to remember the name as well, and I can't remember it at all. If you could help me out that would be great.

    The same question is driving me crazy. Were they adopted, looking for their real parents... did one of the kids think it had a dinosaur egg or something?

    Was there a scene where the oldest boy was being bullied or something by a guy and the younger brother picks up horse crap and throws it at him?
    I've seen a number of movies with runaway kids in them

    I've been wondering for years on a movie similar to what you are describing. It might possibly be the same movie. What I remember is kids running away because their mom gets arrested or something happens to her. Child services is going to take them.. so they take off. They steal cars and at point they steal gas... leaving a note on the gas pump, that they are sorry and they will pay it back or something like that. Later they end up at some guys house (not sure if it's the dad or who) But he has a zebra fur couch.. and he is having a party when they show up. I think he didn't want them or something.. Crazy! If you find your answer plaese let me know.. it could be the same movie :)

    Ok, so I got the same kind of problem.. but I think mine is a totally different movie all together but.. there's these kids that run away from an orphange or something.. and their running through the woods and its all rainy and muddy.. then they end up in some kind of stream/brook.. and they have a hard time swimming.. but they some how end up at this place where they meet a old wind up soilder (tin/brass big round guy) ? And he helps these kids get away from these other bad guys that are decked out in black and white spandex with painted faces the same if I remember correctly.. with wheels for feet? And like elf hats? Lmao then they get in trouble with some kind of moutain/rock god and he captured some of their friends/family and they have to go through this room with a bunch of orniments.. and if they pick the right orniments they will get their friends back.. they come to realize all the orniments with emeralds are who their looking for... I always thought it was a second part to the wizard of oz called the emerald city but.. that's just the city the wizard lives in.. I CAN NOT find it anywhere.. I'm starting to believe I made this up in my head..

    If any one has any idea of what I'm talking about please get back to me
