Castle Movie With Tentacle Monster Puppet Shower

Hi there movie buffs,

I’m looking for help with finding a movie that has haunted my brain since my early childhood. I was likely age 5-7 when I saw clips of this movie, so around 2000 or so, but the movie was likely older, it had at least a 90s feel, but could be as early as the 70s. And these are memories of a stupid child warped over 20+ years so who knows if this even is remembered correctly, heck it might even be from a cheesy porno my dad left in the VCR.

The main location in the movie was a midevil-ish castle, it had a very Princess Bride, Monty Python, Robin Hood type of thing going on.

The scene that I remember the most clearly was a scene with a Renaissance ish puppet scene in the Great hall of some castle, but the show came to life and sucked people in with a kraken-esq tenticle monster/ giant squid. It almost resembled the scene in 20,000 leagues under the sea with the squid attack. But I think people from the castle’s great hall were getting sucked in to the puppet show.

The other scene I believe I remember involved a woman being levitated in a long flowing gown in what was I believe the castle graveyard? And I there were these creatures that looked like a mix of a Jawa from Star Wars and like a dementor from Harry Potter. Hooded creatures with glowing red eyes. I think there was a popular-ish costume around the late 90s early 2000s Era with them, but not the grim reaper ones.

 

Anybody remember anything like this?

Animated Movie with Scene of Rats Dancing Satanically Around a Bird???

There isn’t much more than that. It was an animated movie, I don’t think it was a major studio, perhaps Australian. There was a scene with a bunch of animals, I believe rats, who were dancing and chanting around a bird, maybe a pigeon, and they were holding candles before they were going to sacrifice it. It was a kid’s movie, but this scene was terrifying for the fear it portrayed and the creepiness. The movie came out perhaps in the 2000s. That’s all I got, folks!
