I watched this movie at least 14 years ago. It was in english and I saw it in a theater. It was in color, but the audio was a little out of sync with the actors mouth movements.
From what I can remember, the movie was about two groups of kids who constantly battled each other. The kids lived near water in a forest and had sophisticated mini towns. They were constantly trying to kidnap and take each other hostage. One group was the “Indian” group and one was the “Cowboy” group. They had vicious battles using mud and the princess of one group fell in love with one of the other groups men.
Please help me find this movie! I’ve been looking for a long time.
Not in color and pretty old is:
No Greater Glory (1934) – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025569/

I am going to borrow an answer to another posting of this same movie and say it is “La forteresse suspendue”(2001).

Sorry Dwarf Oscar, thought I got in there first, but you were the one who answered that old posting I borrowed from. Can’t remember if it’s the same poster.
No problem ! Suggesting “La Forteresse suspendue” is kind of my schtick at this point 🙂
