Hey everyone! How’s it going!
So this is my first post here, and I’m hoping it helps me figure this out. I posted this on Reddit as well, and this also seemed like a good place to look for answers.
So there’s a kids movie that I remember seeing advertised in a magazine, and I’m pretty sure I saw at least part of it at some point. I saw it sometime between 1999 and 2002, but it definitely could’ve been older.
Here’s the list of details I remember,
1. Was probably made for tv/direct to video, considering it’s probably pretty obscure.
2. It was animated, kind of looked like an 80s anime or something inspired by that.
3. The main character was a little girl, who I think was an orphan that lived with her grandma or something.
4. Said grandma is gone for a while, and the girl somehow goes to a fantasy/pretend world.
5. She’s accompanied by either a dog or Bear or some sort. Possibly a living toy a la Winnie the Pooh
6. There’s a train they ride on.
7. There’s a storm scene which is pretty intense and basically the climax.
8. I’m pretty sure it was advertised in one of my mom’s parenting magazines that I found and flipped through.
Anyone have any idea what this could be?
It’s not a Studio Ghibli movie! It might be an anime of some sort, or it might be a western animated movie influenced by anime in the visuals. A couple Redditors suggested that idea, but it’s definitely not that.
Suggested answers included,
Spirited Away,
My Neighbor Totoro,
Nemo, Adventures in Slumberland,
The really old anime version of Heidi,
All Dogs go to Heaven,
The Rescuers,
Polar Express,
If you have any ideas, it’s not any of those movies!
I know if I saw the print ad and/or the actual movie, I’d instantly recognize it!
