The Hugga Bunch

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.

When I was little, I was addicted to this movie! That was my favorite "movie" in the whole world! I taped it, & would always watch it. Great little kid movie. I recommend this movie for any little girl.

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.

This was a great fantasyland adventure that I still enjoy watching at 21 years old. I remember I loved the adventure the little girl took into the hugga bunch world and it reminded me of the room in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where the kids could eat everything. The witch gave me nightmares for about a week when i was 6 and the idea of an entire world existing behind my bedroom mirror completely freaked me out, but I still loved it! I remember wanting to be that girl so badly! This movie is one of those childhood memories that I won't ever forget and I can't wait to show it to my kids some day! It's just an all around great movie that any kid will love!
