Beautiful family movie

This is a beautiful film, it's about family values, morals and living with nature - not destroying it...... It shows what 1 person can do sometimes if he really tries. And the home in the tree is just so beautiful and simple and down to earth. I have watched movies every day since a child of 3 and believe me - I am 57 now and this is still one of the most unforgettable films ever made. Truly a masterpiece of its time. Thank you.
