Ok so I don’t remember much about the movie.
I’d say 80s to possibly early 90s. English, color.
It was a movie about a bunch of trolls (not evil) that lived in trees that are alongside a large open field. If I remember correctly, there was a little boy that found them and would keep going out there to see them.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember anything else. It’s one of those weird things that comes to mind every so often.
The Pit (1981)?
Was there a mermaid, too? It might be the 1984 movie “The Boy Who Loved Trolls.”

I am not the original poster. But wow HBLibrarian, you saved me having to post my own request. I was looking for this movie. The only things I remembered about it was the boy seeing clothes in a cauldron and the boy thought it was Sam Waterson’s character (had no idea it was him) eating people, until he mentions it was his laundry.
I am glad I didn’t post it. I confused it with another movie of a boy changing into a dog (I was switching between the movies I think).
“Troll 2″(1990)?
