I also remember watching this on CITV when all the series were on when I was 5-7 years old. I absolutely LOVED THIS PROGRAMME! I remember this very intimately since it was a brilliant series and went on for two series with an actual end to story. I could not believe the amount of famous British actors and actresses that gave their voices in the series like Dawn French, Richard E Grant, Hugh Laurie, Robert Powell and Juliet Stevenson. I would absolutely love to see this on TV again, especially when we now personally have programmes of a much less standard in terms of animation and storytelling. Anyway-this was one of the best animated series I grew up with and wish children now could enjoy it as much as I did!

Once Upon a Forest
(1993)
The most emotional and lovely film that I can remember
15 May 2005
I remember when I was about five or six years old that me and my younger sister used to rent out this film quite often and watch it all the time until we had to return it. Although I could not remember the title of the film until I saw it many years later, I would often remember the characters because I felt that I understood them and loved them to pieces. My sister's favourite scene was the 'He's Back' because she found the gospel singing hilariously funny though I can't actually remember what my favourite scene was. When I watched it for the first time in like five or six years, it brought back all the lovely memories and scenes and just wish it got more of the recognition it deserved and that I wish it was brought back on TV for younger children to watch and enjoy, I also think that the video and DVD should be brought back onto shelves so that people who did enjoy the film can enjoy it again. The singing I also thought was wonderful, it would be another five or six years for me to realise that the person who sang 'Please Wake Up' was the person who made me laugh my head off in BBC sitcom 'Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em'. Overall, this film deserves 10 out of 10 and more recognition!
