Okay, here's the deal. As a child, I'd watch a video at my grandmother's house but have not heard of or seen the film since I've grown. Here is what I remember about it: it starred a young girl who was trying to save her grandmother from getting old. The only way she knew to do this is to retrieve these fruits (I think they were called "youngberries," or something of that sort), but the catch was, it the fruits touched the ground they would disappear. So she would walk through mirrors, where she met with some strange creatures (I have no recollection of what these creatures looked like, but I do know they were there), and it documents their journey as they try to get to these berries, which are guarded by a queen or a witch or something, who stays forever young by eating the berries. If this helps any, we rented the video from the Baltimore County Public Library in Maryland, in the late 80s, early 90s. If anyone can name this film, I would forever grateful. Thanks in advance! |

Hi leighannp: The TV movie you are looking for is "The Hugga Bunch" which came out in 1985. Found That Film! URL: http://home.earthlink.net/~usondermann/found.html Note: Scroll down to #587 Quote: "Result: The Hugga Bunch (1985) (TV) starring Gennie James. Thanx Marphisa....I think that i saw this movie in the 1980's, on tv, color, in the united states, basic tv (not on a movie channel or anything). It is a children or family movie about a girl and her brother who go through the mirror to find these magic berries that will make her grandmother/grandfather not pass away. "youthful berries" or something. I don't remember much except that they go to this strange 'land', beat the witch with the help of their fairytale friends, and get the berries. Tragically as the girl is stepping back through the mirror she trips and spills the berries and they are gone forever. My friend and I seem to be the only ones who have ever heard of this movie so please help us if you can." Pop Arena - The Hugga Bunch URL: http://www.parnasas.com/PopArena/Articles/hugga.html Quote: "Meet Bridget, our heroine. She's visiting her grandma, who's sicker then a horse with a rash. Doctors give grandma a few days to live, and Bridget is really, really depressed. Gran knew how to give the best hugs. By the way, in case you couldn't tell, Bridget is played by Gennie James, who played Sally Feild's daughter in "Places in the Heart" and a young Jane in "Broadcast News", so she's a little star, dontcha know. And she's really depressed. So depressed, she needs to cry her eyes out in front of a mirror." While this TV movie doesn't appear to be available new anymore, there are some used ones for sale ($$$) on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-listing/B00000F46V/ref=dp_pb_a//103-2975164-4497409?condition=all Search Strategy (on Google): * movie berries grandmother disappear mirror * "the hugga bunch" I hope this helps put your mind at ease. websearcher |

Howdy leighannp-ga, To hopefully add to websearcher-ga's excellent answer, another source for the movie appears to be eBay. http://search.ebay.com/Hugga-Bunch-movie For instance, there is a "Buy It Now" copy there for $12.95 at this time. Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher |
