A great fantasy tale for kids I watched this movie as a kid and it stuck with me for 20 years. I didn't know the name of it but the scenes kept replaying in my mind and I was always humming the theme music. The music really hit a cord. The show is Romanian and lacks all the razzle dazzle we'd see in a similar movie today. Having said that, my kids really liked it. I recently tracked it down and identified it - a lot of work but worth it.
There are several libraries in the US that have it and one copy found it's way to me (thank you again Jenny - you rock).
