I think you all know what i've seen about 50 billion times that's fantasy and non-lotr...

Labyrinth. Of course! Designed by Brain Froud, from the eighties, dancing goblins, and David Bowie in tights... What could be better?

Next, are some that I also find wonderful, but not as great...

Legend. I really don't know about this one. It was okay, but really didn't stike a cord of amazement with me... The castle was awsomely designed though, i'll have to give it that...

Princess Bride. This was funny beyond belief! Equal amount of charm and humor make a wonderful romance. Or, straight from the source itself : 'True Love...'

There's another, but i've completely lost the name. I'll give you the plot and theme, that which I do remember and if anyone could tell me it would be much thanked. So, it goes along like this: There is this family, and the mother has passed (died). So now, as with any movie family, the dad now both has mother and father roles. There are three children, two girls and one boy. The eldest is an adolencent girl, the second oldest is a girl about 10, and the youngest is a boy around 8. The mother was an artist, who would paint pictures of some fantasy realm that she could see. The middle child, really believes in her mother's paintings more than the rest of her family. So, I think they all go to sleep one night and wake up or end up in this world that the mother painted. They end up having to go on this adventure of some sort, and first stop by at a faery part of the realm. They meet the lady and lord of the fae, which the lady is really, really blue from head to foot. The lord looks like the green man and has a temperment like Gimli. The lady on the other hand, is really kind and patient and tells them they have to find something and bring it back for them. It has some connection with the mother of the family. So, they end up in a boat with a bunch of gnomes or some other group of creatures, sailing to some place. They meet up with a medusa-like woman who lives in the building. The dad ends up gaining her trust and they take her on the ship, she somehow can help them. Also, the dad makes these really cool red shaded glasses for her to wear so she won't turn them to stone.

So, they travel some more and of course, some other part of the realm wants to stop them from getting this orb-like things, I think they were Goblins that wanted to stop them. All that I can remember from this point is that the opposing goblins almost find the orbs, and try to sink their ship, but the eldest daughter does some dance-charm thing and counter's their attack. They end up bringing them back, everything turns out great, their happy again, ect...

If anyone finds this familiar, or might know the name of the movie they think this is from, it would be great if you could tell me. Thanks.
