Lost movies from childhood

[Julie]

This is a thread for listing, discussing, and searching for those old movies or TV shows you remember loving as a kid, but can no longer find! We're not talking Disney movies or other classics that you can find on DVD; we're talking movies that were never released, were made for TV, are out of print, or movies you just don't remember enough about to find!

I had a little nostalgia trip on YouTube earlier (YT is good for that!) and found some such movies/shows. Here are some of the ones I remember that were "lost" to me until recently (or still are!) Anyone remember any of these??


Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend (1985)
This is a live-action movie about a baby brontosaurus. Amazing how much technology improved in the 8 years between this movie and Jurassic Park!! LOL It was a good movie though... about as sad as Land Before Time!

Status: Found on DVD! (I just ordered it!) www.amazon.com/Baby-Secret-Legend-William-Katt/dp/B000065V3T


Bigfoot (1987)
This was a made-for-TV movie with Candace Cameron! It's about a couple of kids who get lost while camping and meet a family of Sasquatches. I always got scared the first time they showed Bigfoot, but I loved this movie!! I wish I could find even a clip from it!

Status: MIA, except for this one site I found that you can supposedly order a copy of it from. videocollectionmaster.bravehost.com/ I'll have to look into it. YouTube doesn't even have any clips that I could find.


Escape to Witch Mountain (1995)
I'm not talking about the original Witch Mountain here, but the made-for-TV version from 1995. This is the version I saw first, before I'd ever seen the original, and after seeing the original later, I always thought this version was much cooler LOL. Whenever the psychic twins touched, they created purple light! So cool LOL. Stars Erik von Detten, of 90s Disney Channel fame.

Status: Found on YouTube!


Strays (1991)
This was a made-for-TV horror movie about a family that moves into a house infested with killer stray cats LOL. I thought it was a pretty cool movie as a little kid (I was 6 when it was made LOL).

Fantastic Adventures of Unico (1981)
I remember watching this animated movie about a little unicorn on the Disney Channel. All I really remembered about it was the unicorn and this little devil thing that was mean at first, but eventually became the unicorn's friend. I didn't remember what it was called or anything, just that I loved watching it when it came on TV!

Status: Found on YouTube!


Bluetoes, the Christmas Elf (1988)
I loved to watch this Christmas special on TV when I was little. It was about a little elf who got the name Bluetoes after he took off his own stockings to give to a pair of kids whose toys had fallen out of Santa's sleigh or something, and his toes froze in the snow and turned blue.

Status: Found on YouTube!



YouTube is great!

Does anyone remember these? Anyone have any other movies or shows they remember and would love to find again?

I remember one called "Les Aventures du Timbre Perdu" that i loved as a kid because a bunch of my friends were in it, but it's pretty impossible to find and i probably wouldnt pay the amount it would cost to actually buy it lol

Bigfoot!! I loved that movie!

I just watched it a couple years ago, so it's around somewhere.

[Julie]

Are you serious?? And it was the one with Candace Cameron? Where did you see it??

This thread just reminded me of something I've been meaning to look around for but keep forgetting about.

Anyone know where I might be able to find the Aladdin sequels? I think there were like 2 or 3 of them...The Return Of Jafar, The Forty Theives one...can't remember if there was another one or not, but I think there was. I used to watch those when I was a kid (okay, so I was already well into my teens when those came out...sue me. ).

I also really wanna find the third live-action Ninja Turtles movie. The one where they travel back to ancient China or whatever with the magic septor thingie.

I know there are a bunch of other movies I'm forgetting about, but whatever. I'll remember them eventually.

[Julie]

The Aladdin movies are probably in the Disney vault, so you'll have to wait until they re-release them. Stupid Disney vault LOL.

[dewfreak]

Damn. Okay, thanks!!

I honestly don't remember. I was camping somwhere, I think, and we borrowed it from the lodge. *shrugs* Sorry.

[Julie]

Oh... interesting. LOL I bet you are well-stocked with Bigfoot movies in those parts for the tourists! LOL

[A-RokzStalker]

hehe, you bet! I've watched a few bigfoot movies while camping.
