  • I still have this VHS!

  • As a kid, I thought this movie was OK, but I was still aware of how preachy it was, because of that DANG FORCED LINE! "All the mommies and daddies are coming back! :D" "Not all my dear..." "D:" THAT always depressed me, but excluding that one part, I considered it, and still do, a decent movie...despite what The Critic said about Cornelius leaving the kids to go out BY THEMSELVES! Sheesh dude, really...

  • I remember the ending....goes sumthin like ...Look, Cornelius! All the parent's have returned!! Cornelius : not all of em. i was like WHAT THE FUUUCK? then i saw nostalgia critic's review, and i pissed my pants off. anyways, it's a lovely movie regardless...i was obsessed with it as a child

  • "Offer expires 1/31/94" SHIT. D:

    Heh, but seriously, this is one really weird commercial. It's almost like all the commercials and promos Disney have of Bambi utterly trying to convince you that it's all smiles and rainbows and no one...dies... xD

  • So... no Nostalgia Critic fans? He just reveiwed this.

  • I pefer the Russell in Up!

  • @ikit07221227 If you know any dvd/music stores, they might have it. I live an hour from an amoeba music, so i'm going to see what classic movies they have.

  • Oh my jeeze, I used to LOVE this movie when I was little! I haven't seen it in years! :'D

    I should go rent it now.

  • Holy shit, I remember this.

  • Still have Edgar and Cornelius plush, and the storybook. Cute, cuddly and creepy movie. Snuggles and destruction!

  • As a kid this movie scared the shit outta me (Especially the scene where the gas tanker crashed)

    Now that I'm older this movie makes me cry a little.... DON'T JUDGE ME!!! lol.

  • I mean the leader, or whatever

  • I would totally tap that thing and I mean the smart one and I know it's a rat I don't care

  • i too love this movie and i'm in my 40's

    plus i have the dvd version

  • I loved this movie. I agree with Surenity. It was dark. But a good dark. Loved this movie.

  • Wow. I haven't seen this movie in a long time. Well, time to torrent it.

  • how in the dump did 4 people dislike?

  • this movie was my all time favorite movie as a child. i watched it at least once a day. i, however, would never let my three year old watch it. any movie where animals die makes her upset for hours. i remember watching the lion king with her...that was a huge mistake.

  • Loved this movie.

  • I remember this movie being depressing as fuck.

    Am I right?

  • @fruitytuttiluigi Pretty much, this movie is actually really dark for a children's movie, which might be why I like it. Lots of tearjerker moments too.

  • @Surenity yeah i remember this movie made me depress too

  • Does anyone know what the name of the announcer is?

  • I actually have this on VHS... And it still works too. Unfortunately our VCR eats tapes so I have to watch it at our Grandparents'.

  • I REMEMBER THIS! :O

  • I miss 1993

  • Oh my gosh, I remember this commercial! We sent away for the plushie and everything. Good memories.

  • Comment removed

  • @ikit07221227

    Go to your local thrift store and look through the VHS theirs probably like five copy's

  • It always gets taken down on Youtube unfortunately. But it's pretty cheap on DVD, if you can actually find it.

  • @Surenity i dont know what the deal is with this movie getting taken down from yotuube.the company that made(hanna barbara) this isnt really making money off of this movie..plus it is obscure for the most part and its really old.

  • @lionkingfan

    I don't get it either. Ferngully and Pagemaster, two other Fox animation movies, get to stay up for years but for some reason not Once Upon a Forest. Sadly Universal has clamped down on An American Tail too.

  • @Surenity and movies that r rated r on here as well

  • @Surenity I had to watch American Tail on an emulated version from some website, because of the restraints on youtube.

  • Comment removed

  • OMG!!!!!!! I looooooooved this movie soooooooo much when I was a kid. :D Good times. :]

  • oh man i forgot about this movie thanks for refreshing my memories

  • I was named after this move! LOVE IT!

  • When that creepy one-eyed bird came in they never say what it was? Was it a barn owl?

  • it some kind of owl i have these movies

  • I used to love this!

  • The film is quite decent, But the Secret of NIMH is better!

  • OMG I've not seen this in years!!

  • BEST MOVIE EVER

  • Did Hanna-Barbara make this movie?

  • They produced it, but it was animated in korea I think.

  • And it's from one of Don Bluth's creators on An American Tail.

  • Yeah, David Kirschner, the one who wrote An American tail, i think directed Once Upon a Forest.

  • Charlie Grosvenor, a Hanna Barnera veteran, directed it. He went on to direct the bulk of those "Land before time" sequels.

  • omg I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! when i was a kid

  • i love the song cornelius sin gs "please wake up" michelle was to cute to die, was sad when her parents did though

  • I remember seieng an ad for this on my mr men video (years and years ago)

  • You Have a Mr men Video? Tell me more about it.

  • Well I DID, not any more though, I can't remember much but the first bit on it was a mr happy story and from then on I don't remember, I wouldn't be able to play it even if I still had it though because we don't have a video player.

  • I want an Edgar the Mole plush toy :(

  • I love this movie xD the part with the owl always scared me soo much :O

  • Such a sad but extremely kind and cute miovie! I couldn't remember the name of it for the longest time!! D: Always thought it was Sherwood forest for some reason :S, which is so Robin Hood.

  • i was going crazy to figure what cartoon this was thanks

  • loved this movie as a kid ,and still love it till this day .

  • Me too, I still have my VHS tape too!!!

  • i love this movie too. even thou im all grown up now.

  • fuk i loved this as a kid

  • I lovr this movie!!!

  • haha reminded of this movie wen i saw u could buy it off a box o cereal. at first i loved it all thoes years ago but then at preschool thhey made us watch it bout twice a week for the school year. i could recite the entire movie by heart. Oi!

  • lol reminds me of my childhood

  • I used to watched this film when I was younger. But I always thought The Secret of NIMH was better. They're kinda similar.

  • I love Once Upon a Forest ....I love this movie and one of my favorites...I love this book and one of my favorites of Once Upon a Forest...I hadn't seen this movie when I was little. Hello YouTube members, Do you have the Elizabeth Isele's Once Upon a Forest hardcover book yet?

    During my childhood, Do you have an 1993 Golden Coloring book of Once Upon a Forest yet?

  • I heard that there was a book and I want it but I don't have it yet. The coloring book would be cool to have too, mostly so I could learn to draw the characters.

  • O.O!!

    OH MY GOSH!! i remember this movie!!

    watching it. that's a no-brainer.

    no doubt, i'm going to watch that....

    ..right after FernGully. lol

  • Omg ONCE UPON A FOREST IS COMING TO VIDEO I AM SO EXCITED.

    ....that was a joke.

    but seriously genius film

  • LOLOL

  • In your case, Surenity, I'd have to agree. Actually, IMHO, what do you think of my theory? What should have happened was they should have made was plushes of all 4 Furlings: Abigail, Edgar, Russell, and Michelle, even though Michelle succombed to the toxic gas. Great upload, though. ^_^

  • No Abigail plush? Ripoff.

  • I know, there should have been one. XD She's certainly my favorite character in the movie.

  • Have plush of Abigail, Edgar, Russell, Michelle and Cornelius. He is LARGE! Also have hardback book, and small format sticker book. BETA Company rep sold it to mom-and-pop doll store across from my old apartment, so obtained the whole set!

  • Wow, you're lucky! Though I would have liked the plushies more as a kid. Still I want the book. Do you have it on DVD? I had to buy it on DVD because my sister claimed the VHS when she moved out.

  • SO THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS CALLED!

    i had this on video but because it was taped from TV i never found out the name

    oh my gosh i can't beleive i've found this again (and by accident as well!)

    i loved this story it was so sweet but sad :(

  • Did this go to theaters, or was it strait to video?

  • It was in theaters for a short time, but it did very poorly due to the fact that Jurassic Park was in theaters too.

  • I have the Edgar plush.

  • tell me my mom did NOT buy me an edgar toy...

  • EDGAR TOY???!!!???OMG lol

  • I love this movie!!!!!!

  • I found the DVD at the store one day when I wasn't even looking for it (never even knew they put it on DVD) and I immediately yanked it off the shelf and bought it. I'm so happy :)

  • holy shit! this is the movie my friend was talking about! XD I had no clue what she was talking about and I tried to search it up based on her discription but got nothing until I saw this.

  • I used to have the Edgar plushie. I always loved the song that Michael sang. It was also so nice.

  • I found the Edgar plush at a garage and immediately bought him I heard that the toys are so hard to find.

  • I have never seen this movie, but the only reason I would watch it is to hear Michael...

    Love that guy to pieces. I things Mikey sings in this movie..!!

  • This copied off of Ferngully.

  • no it didn't. it wa sa different story. They just both have the man's damage of nature theme. I loved this movie when I was younger!

  • I recorded the German version on TV for years ago.

  • Someone posted the whole thing up on youtube if anybody wants to watch it.

  • oh, i miss it so much! i've watched this for years! i never got tired watching until we lost the copy on VHS. =)

  • Trying to get this movie just for Michael Crawford alone!

  • now... I wanna see this. I think i may have seen it a long time ago but I dont remember right.

  • I have this on VHS. I watched all the time as a kid, and I still enjoy it at 23.

  • lol! the girl scared me too! wow the hairtyles were so crazy back then!

  • Jeezus, the girl who shouts 'Abagail' scared the crap outta me

  • Lol I know what you mean.

  • holy. crap. this brings back some serious memories!

  • Holy shit I was trying to remember the name of this movie.

  • Me too! For like, 3 years haha.

  • hey ho...at now you find the video to please wake up here at you tube....search witch "please wake up....lot's fun

  • OMG!! LOOOVE this movie! such a good message... i need to watch it soon...

  • omg!! i used to love this movie when i was younger, it seems like a million years ago(really a decade) since i saw this movie! i just happened to hear the name recently when my friend was naming some of her fav childhood films, i heard it, it seemed familiar and BAM!! it is. =) damn XD.

  • i wonder why they never made a Sequel the movie ended like there was going to be Sequel so why didn't they make one then

  • It did really badly in theaters thats probably why. Jurassic Park was out at the same time.

  • its a kids Movie what do you Expect

  • Didn't quite have the marketing behind it that a Disney movie would have either.

  • Whole Shit i haven't seen this Movie in Decades

  • Hehehe, we used to have this movie, we thought it was totally LAME, so we gave it away, but now I want to see it again! I'm much more of a little kid now than I was then, so I've been looking for all the movies I saw as a kid! :)

  • well order it it from Amazon if you want it back

  • I been trying to find the name of this movie forever!!!! thanks lol

  • I have it on DVD mybe I will see if I can try to upload it, to be put on here. I'm not so sure how to do it, though, so I might need to ask someone for instructions.

  • You have to have the right program to do it. See if it lets you copy it onto your computer somehow I guess

  • okay if you have a windows movie maker you are able to put it into parts

  • i noticed the badger guy is doing the devil horns in the beginning.

  • lmfao. dude. haha.

  • who now the title of the text, which the grandfather sing for the little girl on her bed at night?

    where can i find it?

  • I'm pretty sure it's called "Please Wake Up", at least I think. And the soundtrack to this movie has been out of print for years, might have to try ebay because it's rare.

  • do they still give you the toy of Eager if you order the Movie and is this movie on DVD yet im just curious

  • you may want to try and find a torrent for it, if you can't buy it anywhere.

  • actually, they're selling a copy of the CD on half dot com right now

  • heeeey! this movie used to scare me but i love it sooo much !! :) i was wondering about this. remember the little girl's parents got killed by poison?

    Sadly I don't have anything that can copy it onto my computer...

  • i didnt know it was on dvd.. haha whered you buy it from?

  • I got it at Target actually, so it can't be too rare ^^

  • I loved this movie... I found it in a video rentalplace and we watched it for my tenth birthday, but I've never seen it in any store since. :[

  • dude i used to love this movie when i was growing up seriously was my favorite movie (by the way this is probably the most lame trailer ever)

  • Yeah...you're probably right ^^;

    Still its like the only Once Upon a Forest thing on the internet

  • Man, I LOVE this movie, I'm watching it right now too.

  • Could you upload it onto here?

  • i was like sonic the hedghog lol

    my mistake lol

  • omg i use to love that movie!!!! i might go pop that in the old video player! haha x x

  • OMG I love this movie!

  • I found it a little sad.

  • i love this

  • Probally one of my top Disney movies growing, amazing soundtrack also.

  • It's not from Disney.

  • Your right, my mistake, it was from Fox. Either way it was still an awsome movie.

  • Yep. hahaha :D

  • OHHHH MAN.

    i remember i rented this movie when i got a black gumball at the store.

    best. day. ever.

  • What did that taste like? I remember where I come from, it's the green ones that you get free rentals for.

  • haha i wasn't allowed to eat it. i had to give it to the cashier in exchange for my free rental.

    i wasn't too bummed though, a free movie rental is the 7-yr-old's equivalent of the lottery.

  • Yay free rentals! I don't see much of them anymore though.... :(

  • LOL I'll bet the cashier got to eat it. jk hahaha

  • i love this movie! i haven't watched in forever! I had lost it and could never find it. someone needs to put it up :)

  • I have this movie on tape.. it is soo cute! I just found it the other day and watched it.

  • THANK YOU!! This is the Only Once Upon a Forest vid. I've seen.

  • wow. classic film. simply the best.

  • Oh I loved this little film!

  • Oh, I love this movie!!!!!!!!!

    When I was little I used to watch it nearly every day...

  • hehe... this was my favorite movie 15 years ago. hehe... it would be so fun to see it again, like seeing my childhood all over again. Oh, I dunno how to save a DVD to a computer. My Chem teacher said something about it today, but he didn't say how.

  • i love this movie could someone please post the whole thing .... i watched it today on HBO family .... huge surprise because i changed the channel by accident ....

    my favorite part is when they get the bird out of the mud .... barnsworth i think his name is .... i love the singing in that part ....

  • Anyone know how to save a DVD onto a computer? I could post the movie if I knew how to do that =P

  • You can rip DVDs like like you can rip CDs. I use Nero but there are several programs out there. I don't think Windows Media Player can rip DVDs though.

  • Guess I can give it a try, I think I have another program besides Windows on mine

  • I'd love to be able to see it again!

  • Yeah Bonsworth...Barnsworth....bwah something like that, you're right. I'd totally post it if I had the DVD. I'd try to use Windows Movie Maker. Such a heartwarming movie :3

  • OMG! I adored this movie as a kid. My mom had a ton of enviormental films like this for some reason- this was my favorite, but all my friends hated it XD I used to be scared of the owl in it. (It is an owl riight?)

  • yeah it was an owl, i just saw it. it was my fav movie as a kid as well, really sad. The scariest part was when the environmental guys come to clean up the forest... it always gave me nightmares XD

  • I love this movie... I used to watch it all the time when I was little... And then when I discovered it had Michael Crawford in it, I watched it again. And I still loved it!

  • YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! After about a decade I finally remember what the fuck this was called! Thank you!

  • omfg, i finally found it! i loved this movie when i was younger. this brings up the best memories.

  • Looooooooooove this movie

  • this movie was first i saw and make me cry... the song at final was very good .... for this i cried a lot.... florence warner jones - once upon a time ...i cant found the song in anywhere... if someone have the song please contact me ..ok the song was in the credits...

  • yeah the music at the end is really moving. made me cry to hahaha

  • I just got this movie on DVD today at Target for like 7 bucks if anyone's interested ^^

  • Aw, I love this movie so much. It's far too underrated. At least with some other underrated movies you can find fanworks somewhere, but with this film you have to look really, really hard. :(

  • I love this movie so much~!

  • i remember this movie, i loved it.
