Mrs. Piggy,
Possibly you know it, but have you tried the Internet Movie Database (IMDb)?
If you go to:
http://us.imdb.com/search
-you can do an advanced search by title, plot, location, character name etc, even quotes. I tried a couple combinations of "castle prisoner wedding son witch" and etc. and got 100's of responses but nothing that obviously resembles your plot. Perhaps there should be mention of the feature being animated. The cut out wedding guests is distinctive as well and could narrow the search.
The IMDb is fantastic for finding out the movies made by an actor, director, etc, crew members, the music score and is searchable by almost every way possible- by theme, remakes, anything. Fun for the movie enthusiast!

Cheers,
Bambi B

Well, thanks a lot..I found it (LINK).... - Mrs. Piggy 18:16:10 06/20/03 (1)
It took a while, and I looked up the anime hans christian anderson's "little mermaid" (I remember it was in the same style and time period) and guess what, on a list was jack and the beanstalk...that is it, and the editorials discuss how dark and musical it is and that is why I always remembered it.
Thanks!

  mp,
  Glad the IMDb worked out for you. I never would have thought of "Jack and the Beanstalk" as I don't know the original versions - only the Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck one: "I'm goin to get me ttuhsome of thuhose ttuhsolid gold goodies!"
  There certainly seems to be unaminous praise for that version - someone watches it once a year, another had seen it 30+ times and so on.
  The IMDb has saved me many hours agonizing over characters, actors, plots, dates, etc.
  Also, I was on a movie set last Saturday and fortunately had been able to look up the main actors' and director's films in advance so I could have more informative conversations.
  Cheers,
  Bambi B
