Ferngully is one of the best 20th Century Fox cartoons. Robin Williams made this movie fresh and hilarious as Batty, and Samantha Mathis is wonderful as Crysta. The story is about Crysta trying to save a man named Zack, who's about the get hit by a falling tree and later, Crysta and Zack become the best of friends! I'm glad that Zak was there to save Ferngully from Hexsus who wants to get rid of Ferngully. This movie is peaceful and funny at times. I've never seen the second Ferngully, and Zack wasn't even in it, and he wasn't there to save wildlife from poachers in the sequel. This movie is a classic, Robin Williams and Samantha Mathis were excellent!

I was forced to watch this movie on the last day of school in 3rd grade. This movie was one of many things that I think messed me up in the head. I see It as piece of brain washing,This is what the humans are doing. They are hopelessly destroying the rain rain Forrest. All humans are evil sick things that love nothing more then to do just of the sort. Look at your self. This movie should be banned. I ended up being beside myself for the entire summer and fall because of this movie. I completely serious you people have no idea the agony. In reading the comments I have no idea how anyone could get joy out of this movie. I wish you could see it from my perspective.

The only reason I'm giving this the extra three stars is because Robin Williams did a great voice job. Aside from that, anyone with a brain can easily see how this is just anti-pollution propaganda.You might want to take note on the fact that Crysta, the ever-optimistic environmentally friendly main character, is portrayed as this pretty and kind individual, whereas the polluters are portrayed as corrupt and ugly-looking. So, what will children who watch this think of the employees and owners of polluting factories? What if their parents work in polluting factories? I certainly wouldn't want my child thinking that industrialism and pollution is a bad thing, not to mention that employees and owners of factories are people like everyone else, with families of their own.Maybe I'm the wrong person to review this movie (I'm pro-pollution and enjoy polluting the environment on purpose). I'm sure my review will get many "unhelpful" votes, but if you're an intelligent person, don't show this to your own children! The plot follows a fairy-like creature, Crysta, and her environmentally aware friends, who try and rescue their home from the Hexxus, a polluting entity bent on destroying the rain forest forever.You might as well be showing your children a bunch of Nazi 1940's WW2 propaganda because this really isn't much different. Environmentalism is all about control, and movies like this are highly influential on kids. I saw this as a little kid and up until grade seven I believed it was a movie with values, and I believed in the environmental movement. In grade seven I learned a lot about the other side of the issue, the side often ignored. Since then I've been an intentional polluter, and I'm proud of it! My advice? Only watch FernGully for the voice talents of Tim Curry (Toxic Love song is so cool) and Robin Williams, or for nostalgic value, and keep it away from your kids. They deserve much better. And let's face it, little kids won't give a damn about the environmental message in it, they just want to see an entertaining movie and the only entertaining and cool character in it was Hexxus.

This eco-friendly animated feature is a children's environmental fantasy about a tropical paradise protected by guardian fairies, one of whom (a cute Tinkerbell look-alike) develops a crush on the first human she ever sees, after helping him mend his ignorant, woodcutting ways. Of course she first has shrink him down to fairy size, in much the same way that the script likewise reduces its message to a basic cartoon conflict between good and evil, with plenty of post-George Lucas mysticism. Some of the animation is fine, if only the film paused show it off; the pace is set to match a TV-ruined attention span, which at least has one advantage: none of the songs is more than 40 seconds long. Parents may feel obligated to drag their kids to see it, but don't be fooled: Ferngully cheats on its ecology lesson by suggesting that the rainforest has magical powers of restoration, which it certainly doesn't, and if we teach our kids to start relying on fairies to save the Earth we're all in big trouble. The best voices are provided by toxic sludge monster Tim Curry and dingbat Robin Williams.
