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.

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.

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).

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!

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.

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.

Okay this was mentioned on a supernatural channel as being a "creepy" film that gave many children nightmares and today's adults remember this with trauma. Okay I've never seen it before and have never heard of it so I watched it for the first time this evening. I found the film just adorable and well made, with a very nice story and a wonderful fantasy sets in the magic land. Its just too sickly for me but I appreciate it was made during an era of puppet movies that were really the in thing during the 80's, and everything was hand made, crafted and sewn, not like today's CGI. The only thing I found scary was the little creature popping through the mirror.

The Hugga Bunch is a great movie for young children. They might get scared at one part. I watched it when I was young though, I suggest it strongly. :)

This was one of my favorite movies as a child. FuzzBucket as well. My brother bought me a copy of Hugga Bunch on VHS online a few years ago. It isn't the best copy but it works. I would be happy to sell it cheap if anybody is interested. :) Its not as good when you are 27. I think this is a great movie for kids. It taught me to appreciate my elders at a young age. I also love when one of the dolls ends up in the washing machine. So cute. The magic cherry tree, the long windy road to the castle, the curlers in the dolls hair... It made me believe my dolls could come alive at any second. I had toy hugga bunch dolls that would clip on to things in my room. I used to rent this movie every time I would go to a video store.

I see quite a few positive reviews & ratings of 10/10 & right now I would LOVE to add the gif of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory season 10 episode 2. The scene when Colonel Richard Williams says, "It's not like you're handing us the Death Star from Star Trek." & Sheldon's reaction standing behind the Colonel after hearing that is my reaction to EVERYBODY'S positive high rating & reviews for this film. (In case you've never watched The Big Bang Theory, the reaction is of an over reacting heart attack I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS type of shock.) I'm not saying that I myself enjoy movies others find ridiculous but this tops them all! Gennie James did an outstanding job in Hallmarks 1987, "The Secret Garden." My favorite version! But this film... I'd rather watch Trump (🤢) on CNN!!! Now that's saying something!!!!

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.

Love is a wonderful thing. But a hug can make it better. That's what Bridget needed most: A Hug. She looks in the mirror and meets Hugga Bunch leader, Huggins. Sounds like a last name. The Hugga Bunch are always hugging. That's how they show the love.

WWE wrestler Bayley must have admired them. They were born before her.

Gives you the notion, what the world needs is a hug!

5 stars!
