Help Tracking down an Old Animated Movie?

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:40 am

Hey Beth-Forum

When I was a kid, i'd say early to mid ninties, I remember sat on my bed watching TV. For some reason or other, despite it facinating me and staying with me, I only got to see a small part of whatever film or series this was. I don't recaal what; I just know i'm 23 and I still occasionally try to hunt down what it was.

It may have influenced my love of fantasy. Yet, I don;t know much about it, and am certain of even less.

Almost certain memories: It was animated. I'm almost certain it was a fantasy film or show. The hero was a young teen/boy and he falls down a set of stairs, I beleive in a castle, and is knocked uncontious. A woman/girl or ghost appears while he is out and I believe heals him. In my memory two human guards had found him but left him there.

Less certain memories: I believe his knee was hurt, and it was used to illustrate the healing. I seem to recall him having a fever or something. I faintly recall the steps looking like heavy duty stone, like to a cellar or dungeon. I recall a cave full of monsters of goblins, and I think the teen/boy was trying to save a Princess in said-cave. I know in later years it would remind me a lot of Zelda, though It wasn't that.

Ugh. It's been so long the meories I do have are getting foggy, i'm sure in another couple of years I won't even be able to provide bare details like this.

Anyone got any ideas?

I doubt this is it, but from a google search I found a movie called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pagemaster

I am almost 100% certain that that is not it, but I decided to drop in to say how much I loved that film (and the illustrated book) as a kid. And now that I read the Wiki I understand why. Patrick Stewart as a swashbuckling pirate? Hell yeah!

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I'll check into them.

Black Cauldron looks like it might have a good chance, but i've had false hopes before. =P

Do you remember the animation style at all.

cartoony, or realistic?

is there anything else you remember, like side kicks? portrayed mood?

did it come across as Disney, or more Asian? Did it come across as made for video?



uhh, maybe
The sword and the Stone?
Heavy Metal? :shrug:

I have to agree that it probably isn't the page master and would probably be more along the lines of The Black Cauldron.
