Once Upon a Forest (1993)


Twentieth Century Fox
Directed by Charles Grosvenor
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Fox)

A road accident releases a noxious fume into a nearby forest, causing its small inhabitants to flee. It injures a young badger and kills her parents. She is rescued by her friends, a mole, wood mouse and hedgehog, who are taken in by an older hedgehog. He is versed in medicine and leads them on a trek to retrieve the necessary herbs to save the young injured girl. They arrive at a colorful meadow where they meet new friends. One of the ingredients they need grows only on a high cliff, so they use the older hedgehogs crude airplane invention to retrieve it, then fly back to their home. They encounter more humans cleaning up the accident, but they turn out to be friendly. Harmless animated film with a positive environmental message.
