Movie about humanoid alien brother and sister stranded on Earth

Question

I watched this movie as a kid. It is about two kids (brother and sister) who are from outer space but somehow stranded on earth and have lost contact to their parents.

I remember that they wanted to get to some kind of alien spaceship launch in time but barely missed it which was very sad. I think this was how the story ended so maybe there also was a part 2? Or was it a TV show?

I would guess it was from the 90's or 80's.

This reminds me of the movie Escape from Witch Mountain.  There is a pair of twins (boy and a girl), with special abilities who end up in an orphanage, discover they are actually aliens, and race to make a spaceship launch.  Misses include that I think they make the ship in the version I saw.

There are apparently three or four versions, from the novel in 1968, movies in 75, 95, and 2009, and a failed tv series in 82 - so one of them might have had the kids missing the ship as a plot twist... actually, the tv attempt might make the most sense, as that would give a starting point for the story to continue, instead of finish?
I hope you find it.

It's called  Caravan of Courage, an Ewok Adventure.It was made for TV movie from 1984, and I too thought I had fever-dreamed it into existence, but I just googled the hell out of it and just found it. :)
