i just looked it up and it is!! thank you so much, i really thought i had made that up!! lmao the first comment on the youtube page is someone who also had been trying to find it for years
let's go to paris'. i wanna rob.
i've been trying to find this film on and off for around ten years and just today i thought to try on tvtropes. sorry if the description is too vague, but i thought it would be worth a try.
i must have seen this movie sometime between 2008 and 2010, but it could have been earlier. i was skipping through channels on a family friend's TV, so i only caught one scene of it. this is what i remember: a family, which as far as i can recall is made up of mom, dad, and at least two kids whose gender i can't remember, drives in a minivan through a forest and across a stone bridge. if i'm remembering it right, the dad has a line of dialogue about how the bridge is called something like "the fairy bridge". the family gets to a house they're renting for the holiday which is kind of a cottage style, and the dad says, kind of jokingly, that the family should say hello to the fairies, or else they might get back at them. the kids and the mom say "hello fairies". that shot is framed through some tree branches, but what is in focus is the house. after the family says that line, the focus changes to the tree branches and it's revealed that a fairy is spying on the family, and then the fairy turns and faces the camera. the fairy's body is grey and it has some darker markings along the legs and arms, and its hair is dark red, and cut in a kind of bob style. if'm recalling correctly its eyes have yellow irises,but they could have also been dark eyes.
i was a kid when i saw this, so the details of it might be a little iffy, but from the set-up of the scene i'm more on the side of this being a movie rather than an episode of a TV show. i do remember that it was live-action, and that the family is white. i'm from latin america, so the scene that i saw was dubbed, but the original language is probably english. the cgi used for the fairy looked kind of convincing to me as a kid, but not as much as some stuff i'd seen in movies, so i'm betting this was either a tv movie or made with a lower budget. it didn't look super dated, and my guess is that it's more or less contemporary to the time that i watched it- made between the mid to late 2000's.
anyway, thanks so much to anyone who's willing to help, hope i didn't hallucinate it. <3
