The Hugga Bunch

I remember watching this as a young five-year-old. My mom recorded it, so I was able to watch it constantly... I had a few of the dolls and the little hugglits so having a movie with the dolls, moving around and talking was absolutely awesome to me! And I would imagine that I was on the journey with them for those berries every time! I do remember being freaked out a couple of times, but I would just hit fast forward lol I made my son watch it a few years back, thinking he would roll his eyes and say that it was a stupid movie, but he surprised me by saying he liked it, even the creepy stuff... if you can find a copy, I recommend watching.

As a child, I watched Hugga Bunch quite religiously. I believe my parents and siblings could all quote the movie because they watched it with me so often. One great aspect of this movie, aside from the story, is the puppets which are quite adorable. The film is very pleasing to the eye once the main character enters the land of huggs. It is very colorful and cute. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is lucky enough to get his/her hands on it (it is sadly out of print, hard to find, and quite expensive on ebay).

Man I loved this movie as a kid... it was the best. Years later, watching it as an adult I was surprised to see exactly how scary it was at points (ie the burning mastodon), and just the fact that those cute little huggabunch were actually lil freaky. Maybe it's just an adult mind stepping into an kids movie but man... I still love it. : ) It had an endearing quality to it and I wish I could find it to watch it again. Too bad it's hard to find because this was truly an 80's classic that should be shown to our kids in this generation. It holds an innocence movies today don't seem to have..which is sort of sad. Movies/Shows today just aren't what they used to be. We need to go back to the innocence of our own childhoods and bring back the magic to kids in this day and age.

I remember I used to rent this movie from Blockbuster on a weekly basis. I am 26 years old now and still think about this movie often...too often. Growing up we had a small living room area with a walk in closet. On the door to the closet was a full length mirror. I have VIVID memories of glaring into that mirror, with the fear of being sucked into the Hugga Bunch land. For some reason, I cannot remember any scenes from the movie - only the name and the cover art. I will never forget it. I cannot fairly rate it as I do not remember the plot exactly, I just know it has stuck with me my entire life Lol.

Oh my gosh I think we should form a support group there are so many of us who saw this and forgot the name of it. I used to rent it all the time when I was little. I am so glad I am not the only one who remembers it!!!!!!!!!! I want to get a copy of and I am trying but since it is so hard to get it is very expensive. I think my favorite part was towards the end when they had the fruit and some of it fell. Then when the meet the bookworm I thought he was so cool. I hope I can get a copy of it because I would really enjoy seeing it again. I put a question out on yahoo to help me find the title of it and most of the people said it was labyrinth or the dark crystal but I own both so I knew it wasn't either of those. Then one day I drove by a road sign that said huggins and it made me think of the title hug then I came home checked my email and there was the answer the hugga bunch movie from someone.
