FernGully is a beautiful movie with colourful animation that pleases the eye. Along with its environmental message, it makes an enjoyable ride through the home of magical fairies and their fight against the force of destruction of their rainforest. Those were the peaks of the movie. Now for the rest of it, which was good and memorable, but at times felt either oddly placed or underdeveloped. Hexxus, the magical force of destruction, was a great idea. Let me pinpoint that. But I felt he had too little screen time and could have been so much better developed, but perhaps his role as a "force" rather than an exact living being makes up for that. Tim Curry did a good job voicing him, though. Most of the songs performed by the characters are not very memorable and seem a little out of place. Tim Curry's "Toxic Love" was a decent exception. Robin Williams' role as Batty Koda was okay. It was mildly annoying at times, but also made me smile once in a while. FernGully is underrated and deserves more attention. Many of the animated features from the 90's get lost in Disney's domination of the industry. Many of them obviously tried too much to be Disney and ended up as bland imitations, but FernGully has enough original ideas and weight to them to make it a wonderful movie overall.

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 watched this as I was growing up and I loved it. Most of the time,when I try and watch a movie I used to love, it sucks. But this one is different, I still Love it! :) And I've got my little siblings into it as well. Which isn't easy when you have as many little brothers as I do. It has a great story line and it's easy to understand. It's colorful and being made in 1992 it's amazing for that time. It's still amazing in this year of 2011, even with all of our 3D movies. It's also funny and magical, with well learned teachings. This is a great movie to show your children!

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.
