Wooden Marionette
What’s the name of this movie from the Disney Channel during the 1980s?
I just barely remember seeing this movie as a kid & I can’t remember what it is. Here’s what I’ve got to go on:
A young child (a boy?) watches everyone he knows, family, friends, etc., get turned into odd wooden-block-like marionettes. He follows them on a long journey, always evading detection of the evil force turning all people into these block-monsters, searching for a way to return humanity to normal. He journeys along, trying to save his family from their good-as-dead fate, meeting with little success. The marionettes are being marched toward the ocean, & when they arrive, they all begin assembling themselves into buildings or boats or something. Near the end, the boy, who is the last person alive & the only one who can save the day, gets captured/infected/etc. & becomes one of the mindless wooden block marionette creatures as well. I seem to remember that after this, the viewer is shown the marionette’s long death-march to the sea, in complete silence. Anyone know it?
The name of the movie is “Unico in the Island of Magic”.
