Does anyone know the title of this animated film?

Asked by acidlogik (475points) October 25th, 2009

Lately I’ve been trying to remember the title of an animated film I loved as a child. I can barely remember anything about it though and I’m hoping that there is someone out there who knows it.

The things I can remember are that it’s animated, has lots of sleepy-looking babies (possibly on clouds) and the general theme of the film is some kind of dream factory (I think!). I also remember pink flamingos and maybe an old man (or a few old men…)

As I said, I can’t remember much about it and I have been searching for a long time. All suggestions welcome.

Would help to know when you were a child. Was it 10 years ago or 50? This might help narrow it down.

Ah yes, of course. It would have been in the early 90s when I saw it and I can’t see it being made any earlier than the 80s, although I could be wrong.

The only thing that sounds like what you may be looking for is The Care Bears. They’re not babies, but they do live on clouds and I’m pretty certain they had something to do with dreams and that. Does that help?

acidlogik's avatar

It wasn’t the Care Bears. I definitely remember babies and flamingos. Thanks anyway :)

Is there any possibility that you have blended the memories of two films together?
Take a look at these two animated films, side by side:

It almost sounds like Disney’s Wynkin’, Blynkin’ and Nod

I can’t place anything yet but there are familiar things in your descriptions.

I also want to say how cool this site is for exactly this reason!!!!

@windex It’s not on that list but thanks for the link.

@davidk Good thinking but no, the fragments of memory are very distinct.

@filmfann It’s definitely not a Disney creation.

@Naked_Homer I know right!

This film I’m looking for has a foreign feel to it and may be European (but then again, may be not). It’s certainly not a mainstream children’s film. I seem to remember the VHS cover artwork showing babies, an old scholarish looking man and a clock. That might help?

I wish I could just remember more.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep ‘em coming.

Sounds like Rarg… look it up, got everything you describe

Chrissi85's avatar

RARG, all in caps, from like ‘88 , cloud baby things, dream land, the main guy has to save it, and they all turn into flamingoes… pretty disturbing as I recall

filmfann's avatar

@Chrissi85 Rarg Very impressive. Lurve for that!

I am a big fan of all those slightly upsetting animated movies, NIMH, Ferngully etc and it rung a bell =) glad I could help

acidlogik's avatar

Yes! I am so awesomely happy right now! I’ve been trying to find this off-and-on for years.

Thank you :D !

PapaLeo's avatar

Wow, kudos to @Chrissi85 !!! I didn’t think anyone was going to get this.

Naked_Homer's avatar

@Chrissi85 – welcome to fluther! you are king!!!

Although I am disturbed for having found this in the search.

PapaLeo's avatar

@Naked_Homer My Lord! The stuff of nightmares!

acidlogik's avatar

@PapaLeo I didn’t really have high expectations either, asking around on the internet never worked before. It probably wouldn’t have worked again if I hadn’t posted this to my Facebook. ^^

@Naked_Homer Thanks for that. xD

@Naked_Homer I dont think I will ever sleep again…

Naked_Homer's avatar

@all – yeah, not pleasant. Naked_Homer doesn’t suffer those things alone. He needs his animation friends with him.
