I saw(/dreamed) it when I was quite young, so it had to’ve been made in the 70’s or 80’s…
All I can remember is it had something to do with pillows… a pillow land, or pillow people… and some evil queen who had evil berries. She wanted to make kids (or maybe the pillow people) eat the berries, but I don’t remember why.
Maybe you’re thinking of The Pincushion Man (Balloon Land.) I had this cartoon when I was a kid and I always loved it. It sound kind of similar to what you’re talking about except there’s no queen with berries, and they’re balloon people, not pillow people.
omg, that movie was fucking frightening. I could have sworn it was a cartoon… I know I remember there being something about mirrors… anyway, god, what a fucked-up concept for a kid’s movie!!!
And this is why this is the most awesome location anywhere on the Internet (or beyond)!
Give the Teeming Millions nothing but pillow people and magic berries, and it takes exactly one response and 33 minutes to pull “The Hugga Bunch Movie” out of some deep dark hole (where, to be honest, it probably should have stayed).
Since the OP’s been answered, may I throw out another candidate?
I saw this movie on TV, probably in 1975 or 76. Definitely animated; possibly in 60s/70s anime style (think a Speed Racer-ish look to the characters). The only scene I can recall is of a character on the floor of a large ampitheater-type room (think 18th century med school lecture hall); on tiers rising well above the character’s level are smallish animalistic characters (think Pickachu-looking) that are chanting/laughing (think the laugh in The Beatles’s “I Am the Walrus”). The character on the floor may be transforming into something (perhaps one of the Pickachu-ish things, but definitely something animalistic).
