name this cartoon

I have this vague memory of a cartoon from when I was little. I know I loved it, and it must have been on tv several times, since I have the sense I knew the story fairly well back then. It started with a group of men hunting deer, and a young boy with them. They see the deer and start chasing it through the woods, and the boy winds up separated from the men, but finds the deer. It’s a white deer, and it transforms into a fairy, and tells the boy that she needs his help, or needs rescued or something. I believe they were in a mushroom ring at the time. And I remember that the boy gets transported to fairyland and has some adventure and in the end winds up back in the mushroom ring just as the hunters come crashing into it (after, I’m certain, saving the day for fairy kind). So when he returns, no time has actually passed. As I said, it’s a little hazy, and I may have some details incorrect — and the bulk of the story is really his adventure, which I remember almost nothing about. Does anyone know (or have a guess) what cartoon this was?

I’d like to see it again — but my memories of it are too generic for google to be much help.
