Hello /TV

I've spent the past 12 years of my life searching for a film I saw many years ago. Iv'e come here hoping to see if any of you guys know what it may be called.


I remember it being a set piece film. In the vein of The Never-ending story or labyrinth- Some walking then then a Painted backdrop that's beautifully intricate.

Fairly sure with my recollection of the film and its similarities to others i would peg it around late 70's to very early 90's

The screen shot I have in my mind is of the three main characters.

Male-Mid to late teens.
Female-Again mid to late teens.
Female-young,maybe like between 5-9. I seem to recall her being sister to the first female.

I recall him looking over a sprawling maze towards a tower/castle structure. (Main colours being sandy browns and similar)

I also seem to remember a scene where they were in from of some type of wall obstructing them.

I don't really remember there being puppets in the film. Nor animated segments

I remember nothing of a main villain/enemy types.
All i remember of the main story is it was set in some mystical land and had to get to the castle to get a crystal or something(maybe im filling in blanks, it may have not been a crystal but they ad to get there to "save the day")


Many Thanks,
I shall update with any further things I recall.

OP again
And touching on the aspect of background art.
There is a wonderful (expensive) book called
The Invisible Art: The Legends of Movie Matte Painting that looks at some amazing artists and how all of there work is simply background pieces. They are so beautiful and intricate however completely ignored by most people enjoying the movies.
It truly is a dying art and one that is wonderfully represented in this book

Have a bump. No fucking idea what you're talking about but I've been in that situation before and I hope you find it.

Trailer has been viewed. Sadly it is not beastmaster

OP.
Slight update.
I remember that the kids in the movie were dressed if modern day (for the era the movie was made) clothes.
Jeans and a t-shirt kinda deal.

then they were taken/transported to the fantasy world.

I'm trying to remember a fucking movie I saw, I think it was late 90s, early 00s. It's a spoof/comedy movie about aliens. Main characters are two slacker type dude's, IIRC, and aliens keep abducting cows or some shit. At one point near the end, there's a scene where a building (or maybe an alien ship) full of people panic and everyone starts evacuating. During the rush of people, a guy runs in front of the main characters and two alien hands burst out of his chest, Alien-style, and start juggling balls. The main characters are impressed, then they continue running.

Sound familiar to anyone?
>>
>>79962241
Bumpety bump. Also, sorry OP, nfc what movie you're looking for.
>>
>>79962241
Was it set in modern times or was it one of those that is made recently but in the style of 80s or something?
>>
>>79962422
Pretty sure it was set in modern times when it came out, so late 90s/early 00s. It may have been trying to ride the coattails of Evolution, but don't quote me on it.

Spaced Invaders?

>>79962241
Some plz halp. OP and I both need assistance
>>
>>79962681
It is not, sir, but I appreciate the effort. It's newer, I'd say 2000 or just after.
>>
>>79962684
Trying to - been googling but any more info (even just an impression of the themes or characters/further characters) would help.

Thought it might be "Evil Aliens" for a moment, but didn't pan out.
>>
>>79962913
Honestly can't remember much else about it. I believe there's one scene where a stereotypical flying saucer abducts a cow in a comical manner, and I think the final act takes place aboard the alien ship, which is where the whole "panicked evacuation" thing plays out. I do remember one line, the guy who has the alien hands pop out of his chest looks at the main characters and goes "Haven't you seen the sequels?!" in reference to the Alien series.

sounds a lot like mars attacks

Sadly no. Although I will keep that one on the back burner for future viewings
>>
>>79963046
It's definitely not Mars Attacks, I love that movie. The scene with the alien hands juggling balls is obviously ripping on the chest burster in Alien. The guy that the hands pop out of stays standing and alive the entire time. He says something relevant to Aliens, the main characters look at him like "WTF?", he yells "Haven't you seen the sequels?!" Then the hands pop out and the main guys scream. The camera cuts back to the guy's chest, the hands start juggling, and the main characters look impressed, then something happens that caused them to yell and start running again. I wish I could remember more, but I only watched it the one time.
>>
>>79963272
Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if the hands actually juggle, or if they just start doing stupid tricks like the "disconnected thumb" thing and whatnot.
>>
>>79962241
I know it. Watched it on some cartoon channel, maybe Fox Kids, but I don't remember the name. The 2 guys were garbage collectors.
>>
>>79963455
Probably this.

I've looked through the thread and the one I was going to suggest has already been said.

I know how it feels to have a film you know you've seen though, and can't figure it out.

Years ago I asked /tv/ to help and everyone in the thread thought I dreamed it.

I found it eventually though. So don't lose hope, brother.
>>
>>79963455
Yeah, that's the one. It was briefly popular at my school.
>>
>>79963542
It was so cringeworthy when I watched it. But I think it's because it was dubbed.
>>
>>79963495
Fuckin rights, that's the one. Thanks a lot.

Happy for you pal.
>>
>>79963595
Yeah, I doubt it's good in any form, it was just driving me fucking nuts that I couldn't remember the title.

As for OP's movie, I'm definitely not the one to ask. I never got into the Dark Crystal/Neverending Story/Labyrinth type movies when I was younger. All I can offer is this bump.
>>
>>79962226
Op this sounds a bit familiar to me.
Do you remember this movie having the kid have some kind of "test" where some kinda dwarf or elf or something had him stand under some magic judgment rock that would kill him if he answered the question wrong, and he had to say what he'd do if he found a lost wallet in the hall at school.
>>
>>79961524
Shrek 2
>>
>>79964107
I've pretty much commented all I remember.
The only other thing i recall is the dude in it may have at some point got some light armour- but I'm not 100% sure, I may just be filling in blanks.

However if you know the name of that movie i'll give the trailer a watch and report back.
