Hi. I remember a movie from when I was a child. It was probably made
in the late 80s to mid 90s, was poorly animated from what I remember.

It was about these monsters that come into your home and put your
dreams in jars, then take them to their world to save. There was a
little girl involved, who came with one of the monsters to this world,
and I remember a big mountain, with tan/greysh clouds over it. The
mountain was hollow, and around the entire thing there were jars of
dreams.

I have searched for years to find the name of this movie to acquire a
copy. Can someone tell me the name of it? Or provide more details if
they have an idea, and I've got something wrong, or left something
valuable out?

Thank you.

Hello.

The movie was "The BFG (Big Friendly Giant)" (1989).

From a viewer's review on Amazon.com:

"The Big Friendly Giant visits children's windows each night and sends
them pleasant dreams; his other job is to catch the bad dreams out
there and bottle them up so they don't frighten children, as well as
prevent the evil giants from eating children!"

OH WOW. I did not ever expect a answer to this question this fast. I
think it was answered in less than 30 minutes. Considering the
researcher probably has no idea how long I've looked for the title of
the movie, about 5 years, I am very impressed. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Words cannot express how much this means to me.
