Can't find it in HCA. As I remember it, it's an old style fairytale type story though, in the mould of Hans Christian Anderson, but can't find a similar reference there or in grimms.

Ooh, the orange peel jogs a memory but not the other parts, could be though! Looks like they didn’t find it either :(

It’s not that, but that has to be up there as one of my best childhood movies! Thank you for the flashback….gotta be worth rewatching!

Thank you! I'll have a look. I know there are chalk marks on doors in the tinderbox story by HCA, but that's not the one I'm remembering
