Delightful!

This movie is one of my all time favourites, it is just beautiful and very underrated, if a little short. The songs and score by Alan Silvestri,were very good, and some of the comments were unfair. Batty rap was wonderful, with great ad-libbing thrown into the mix. Toxic Love matched the character of Hexxus wonderfully. Hexxus is slimy and untrustworthy, shown perfectly in the song. A Dream Worth Keeping was my favourite song, and was essential for the relationship of Zak and Crysta. The lyrics were beautiful, and matched the animation surprisingly well. The animation was also beautiful, very colourful and vibrant. The forest was expertly animated like a fairytopia. I remember when I first saw it when I was 9 and being terrified of the villain. Speaking of Hexxus, the character was animated by Kathy Ziellinski, who also animated Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and the Cobra (Aladdin). The voice talents were excellent too. Zak was a nice romantic interest, and Crysta-one spunky vivacious fairy- was excellently voiced by Samantha Mathis. Hexxus was chillingly voiced by the quintessential Tim Curry, and Robin Williams was hilarious as Batty Koda. As for Magi Lune, I mistook her for Angela Lansbury when I first saw the film, and she is a truly fascinating character. The ending was so powerful and poignant, and I love this movie so much, and I am 16. The film also has a good message and a nice story, that isn't at all preachy. The movie's only qualm is that it is too short, and I would've liked Hexxus to be developed a little more. Other than that, I strongly recommend FernGully, and Once Upon a Forest. 9/10. Bethany Cox.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest

I heard about this cartoon film purely because of the great talented actor who provided the wonderful voice of the Genie in Aladdin, and also because this film was meant to be not that great, so I watched it to see what I'd make of it. Basically a race of fairies live in the rain forest called FernGully, they have never seen humans, but they believe they exist from the stories told of time gone by. One day, curious fairy Crysta (Samantha Mathis) flies above the trees, and she notices smoke coming from Mount Warning, and she sees many tree being cut down and destroyed by humans. She uses her magic and accidentally shrinks human Zak Young (Jonathan Ward),one of those destroying the forest, and after discovering the world of the fairies he is trying his best to sway away from his involvement in the destruction. Besides many of the other fairies of the forest, mentally unstable and comical fruit bat Batty Koda (Robin Williams) is unsure what to make of the shrunk human, and fairy Pips (Christian Slater) is jealous that Crysta is closer to him. In the process of destroying FernGully, the humans have released the evil Hexxus (Tim Curry),an oil-like and then smoke driven creature who wants to unleash chaos, and taking over the "leveler" he works to destroy the forest. Of course Crysta and the other fairies discover that Zak was involved in helping to destroy FernGully, but having become fascinated with their world he is determined to help save their home. In the end, Hexxus is trapped inside a newly grown tree, Crysta uses her power to grow Zak back to normal size, and he ensures the fairies that he will stop any other humans coming to the forest to destroy it. Also starring Grace Zabriskie as Magi Lune, Cheech Marin as Stump, Tommy Chong as Root, Robert Pastorelli as Tony, Geoffrey Blake as Ralph and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective's Tone Loc as Goanna. The voice acting is all fine, the most fun to listen to is obviously Williams who creates the laughs, the animation is alright, and the story has some okay ideas that obviously delve into the concept of saving the environment, and the Elton John song "Some Other World" at the end is good, overall it isn't something I would see again, a not terrible but also not great animated fantasy. Adequate!

now really...

"FernGully: The Last Rainforest" has good intentions but takes too much of a milquetoast approach to environmental issues. The obvious problem is the logging and mining companies, but this is compounded by the politicians who allow it, and the people who vote for these politicians because the politicians act all Christian.

The best pairing of Samantha Mathis and Christian Slater was 1990's "Pump Up the Volume". As for Australia - "FernGully"'s setting - its history of forcing the Aborigines off their land to gain access to the resources makes it an odd setting for an environmental movie featuring fairies.

Anyway, it's an OK movie, but there have been better ones.
