English Summary:

Once Upon a Forest is a 1993 animated adventure film produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Based on the Furlings characters created by Rae Lambert, the film was directed by Charles Grosvenor and produced by David Kirschner, and stars the voices of Michael Crawford, Ellen Blain, Benji Gregory, Paige Gosney, Elisabeth Moss, and Ben Vereen.

In the forest of Dapplewood, four "Furlings" – Abigail, a woodmouse; Edgar, a mole; Russell, a hedgehog, and Michelle, a badger – live alongside their teacher and Michelle's uncle, Cornelius. One day, the Furlings go on a trip through the forest with Cornelius, where they see a road for the first time. Russell is almost run over by a Range Rover and the driver throws away a glass bottle that shatters in the middle of the road. Afterward, they go back to the forest to find that it has been destroyed by poison gas from an overturned tanker truck that blew a tire from the broken glass bottle. Michelle panics and runs to her home to find her parents, breathing in the gas and becoming severely ill. Abigail risks her own life and saves a comatose Michelle, but can do nothing for Michelle's parents. The Furlings go to Cornelius' house nearby for shelter after they find their homes deserted, believing everyone else to have succumbed to the gas. Cornelius tells the Furlings of his past encounter with humans that claimed the lives of his parents, hence why he is fearful of all human beings. He says he needs two herbs to make a potion that will save Michelle's life: lungwort and eyebright. With limited time, the Furlings head off for their journey the next day.

French Summary:

Le Voyage d'Edgar dans la forêt magique ou Il était une fois la forêt au Québec (Once Upon a Forest) est un film d'animation américano-britannique de 20th Century Fox, sorti aux États-Unis le 18 juin 1993. Edgar est une petite taupe qui mène une vie tranquille dans la forêt, allant à l'école avec ses amis pour apprendre la vie. Jusqu'au jour où leur quotidien est perturbé par les humains. Un camion circulant sur la route la plus proche a un accident et déverse ses produits chimiques toxiques dans la forêt. Edgar et ses amis Abigail (une souris) et Russell (un hérisson) partent alors pour une formidable aventure dans la campagne alentour afin de trouver et ramener une fleur, seule remède capable de sauver Michelle (une blairelle), la petite fille de leur professeur Cornelius (un blaireau), contaminée par les gaz toxiques.

Bartok la chauve-souris, devenu artiste de rue à Moscou avec l'ours Zozi comme collègue, mène une vie paisible et est adulé par le peuple russe qui ne se lasse pas de ses tours et de ses théâtrales performances héroïques. Mais lorsque le prince Ivan est enlevé, laissant comme héritière du trône la régente Ludmilla qui semble dangereuse, Bartok est contraint de partir à sa recherche, chez la sorcière Baba Yaga, malgré la frayeur qu'il éprouve à cette idée. Il se voit imposer une suite d'épreuves toutes plus infernales les unes que les autres.
