Hi all!
I was born in 1984 and I recall watching a film where the ending scene(s) contained children flying up out of a giant hole as fairies. They had bright colored wings attached to their bodies and floated up. This is not a cartoon. I distinctly remember the hole looked to be in the desert or a light colored gravely area. Certainly NOT a wooded forest. It was a hopeful scene, one almost where the children were “reborn” or were finally their “true selves”. Please help 🙂 This memory has bugged me for years!
I can say with 100% certainty this is a movie called “The Great Land of Small” 🙂
