Il Trenino nel Pianeta Favola is an Italian children's film released in 1980 that was produced and distributed by URBS Film. It was adapted from a 1978 television series aired on RAI titled Il Trenino (which is also lost). A two-tape edited version of this movie titled Il Trenino delle Favole also exists. A DVD of the Italian version of the full film supposedly exists, though no scan of it exists.
In 1985, Harmony Gold released an English dub of this movie titled The Little Train. The dub was released on home video in the UK as part of the "Kids Cartoon Collection" and again as a standard release by MasterVision. The dub was supposedly also released in the US on VHS by J2 Communications according to a YouTube comment, but again, no scan of the tape exists. A Mexican Spanish dub titled El Pequeño Tren was released in the US on VHS. There also exists a Greek dub titled Μικρό μου τραίνο and a Hebrew dub titled רכבת הקסמים, both of which had VHS releases. A Finnish dub of this movie exists according to a YouTube comment, though its title is unknown and no known home media release exists.
In August 2016, YouTube user Wes has uploaded the entirety of the English dub to YouTube (albeit with a portion missing that can be seen in an off-air clip of the Greek dub and in the Italian video below). On April 2017, the first half of the Italian dub was uploaded to YouTube. A trailer for the Greek dub is also available.
