The Enchanted Forest is a 1945 family film starring Edmund Lowe and Brenda Joyce, also featuring Harry Davenport as a hermit who finds and raises a young boy in a forest.

The film and story served as the inspiration for a 1998 music composition/recording, "Enchanted Forest" by Loren Connors and Suzanne Langille.

He is at odds with a forester who wants to cut down all the trees, and wants any impediments (like Uncle John and the boy) removed.

The mother, Anne, whose father owns the land, is told that the child must be dead, but she cannot quite believe it.

Through a series of interactions, the mother and child are reunited, the forest is saved, and Uncle John is able to stay.
