I so fondly remember watching this at my grandma's on vhs in the 80's. A real trip for a little kid in the woods of northern MN. Recently shared it with our boys and the nostalgia/magic holds up.

“One of the greats. Makes me cry every time because I’m a softie but the ending is one of the best there is!”
