Ths is for the best detectives of old movies. You come up with this one you are VERY good.
I have tried to collect almost every movie I can remember seeing that I felt was worth watching again.
Way back, probably early to mid-sixties, I saw a film that I can only remember a few bits and pieces of. This is a long shot, but maybe somebody caught it on Turner Classics or somewhere. I remember no actors, only that they were traveling by hot air balloon across africa, and toward the end, condors poked holes in the balloon and they had to land. Also they had a confrontation with natives, and one was very hostile to them. For some reason, they knocked him out with something and when they tried to wake him up he faked still being out until the cheif picked up a stick out of the fire and touched it to his foot. He yelled, got up and stormed away, only to have a spear run through him at the orders of the chief.
first, let me say I thank anyone who can help me, secondly, you may think I'm crazy for even wanting to see this again, but it's mainly because I remember so little of it, and if I saw more it might be like "Gilligan's Island". Why did I ever watch it back then?

Maybe "Five Weeks in a Balloon". Terrible movie, I think Peter Lorre says, "Kismet, we have met our doom!" hilariously about halfway through.

I'm looking for an animated movie for little kids about a fairy family that I think take care of the weather on earth through a well from another world. e.i. They throw feathers from a pillow down the well to make it snow. I can't remember the plot very well, but I'd love to find this movie for my little girls.

Answering your question, I doubt it but could it possibly be 'Modesty Blaize'?

Perhaps it is the Haley Mills Disney movie titled "In Search of the Castaways."

What I remember the most is that they ended up in a huge tree on the Pampas and the place flooded. They were joined by a panther. They also met up with Maori's in New Zealand and an Indian Tribe in Peru.

Hi everyone!
I remember one old kids movie about a little town where all houses are giant shoes and people live in them. Then there's love story and one grumpy old guy that want to ruin it. I can't seem to remember name of the movie and I searched everywhere, so please if anyone know the name write it down. Thanks in advance!

Captain Blood? If so Errol Flynn was the actor.
