Amazon please don't let people cheat us like this..

I first saw this movie with my younger sisters. I have always loved animations, but this movie was beyond anything I ever imagined. The innocence of this movie, the magic of the musical score, the captivating characters and the profound lesson to be learnt are all part of what makes this the best animated movie in my books. In an age when kids are engrossed in violence on TV, it is good to be able to pull out this classical family cartoon and take them back to the days when innocence prevailed.
I was thrilled when this was released on DVD because now I can watch it over and over without worrying that the tape will wear out. A must for anyone's collection!

This is my fave film of all time. I watched this movie on VHS until the tape burned out!! It's simply so magical and exciting. The storyline is a wonder. I love the entire magic perfume concept. It's simply the best.

A lifetime family classic. Brings back many many memories. Now please Fern Gully, Little Nemo, Once Upon a Forest, Jetsons the Movie, He-Man, She-Ra, and so much more get released on DVD. Also great great lifetime classics.

I loved this movie as a child and was so excited to find it on amazon. Though it was fairly expensive for a (used) VHS, I went ahead and purchased it for about $13. The quality of the video is sub-par and I've only watched it once in about 3 years. I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Only reason this gets three stars is that it came quickly and in great condition but, unlike i remember, what a terrible cartoon..

While most people have never heard of this my sister and I loved this movie as children. its corny but GREAT!

I laughed so hard when i watched this movie it is a classic to me!

i saw it as a kid and i've never forgotten it. in fact, i bought it for my 22nd birthday because i still think it is one of the best animated movies i have ever seen and i can't wait to have kids someday so i can show it to them. i didn't even know there was a book (must look for it now)

This was one of the movies I vaguely remembered from when I was growing up and over the years I've been trying to remember this movie let alone the name of it. When I done a search for it and found it, I went about watching it and seems like it's like that I remember from what very little I remember from when I watched this movie when I was either like 4 - 6 years old. For those who don't know or might not remember, it's about this painter who took a break under a elm tree, and while he took a nap when he woke he had magical powers with his brush along with being able to understand the animals. Thus getting these powers is to try to stop the 'Cactus King' from making the forest a horrible place. The animation for the movie is dated, but at the time it was maybe decent to good at most, and the writing seemed decent enough though at the time I didn't know what all that meant. For the most part it, I'm not sure how well it aged over time. Overall, I give Elm Chanted Forest 3 stars out of 5.

I am purchasing this movie for my adult children, who loved this movie as kids. I am certain their children (when they finally have them) will love the messages contained as well.
