Movie help...someone turns into a tree!

Question

I'm trying to remember, I think it is a movie, where a boy's feet become implanted in the ground and then turns into a tree. I think I saw it about ten years ago. Does anyone know what I'm talking about????

Answer 1

if you are talking about the "pinocchio style" film...about a creation that will turn into a tree if it will stay in sunlight w/o oil, it is entitled...A Tree of Palme

Tree of Palme has been described as a futuristic Japanese take on Pinocchio, but while the film does feature an artificial boy who wants to be human, that theme is only a small part of a wide-ranging epic adventure. In a world full of strange floating sky-plants and flappy little dragonlike "crow-snakes," a botanist named Fou creates a puppet/robot from the wood of a kooloop tree, a plant with several bizarre properties: It's metallic rather than fibrous; it lives off the energy of memories, which it draws from the ground; and it grows unbelievably quickly when exposed to sunlight. As Fou warns his creation, Palme, he'll start rooting and become a tree if he stands in sunlight without oil to lubricate him

Answer 2

I remember reading abook about a boy turning into a tree too, it was a thriller book, but I can't remember any of the titles. Sorry =(
