Editorial Review:
Environmentally friendly animated film with a strong message that doesn't club anyone over the head--but it certainly can't be missed. Zak (voiced by Christian Slater) is a heavy-machine operator whose job is to push over any vegetation in his path. He's shrunken to wee size, however, when Crysta (Samantha Mathis), a fairy of the forest, not only finds him cute but wants him to see the results of his handiwork. They end up battling Hexxus, an evil force imprisoned in a tree, which now wants to destroy all of Ferngully. Robin Williams offers genuine comic relief as a bat named Batty Koda. Agreeable without making much impact, it's a piffle of a film for one that deals with such strong subject matter. --Keith Simanton

Rating:  - ...when our fail combines, we are CAPTAIN HIPPIE!
(Note: I do not own this version. I am commenting on the movie itself.)
When I was young, many movies like this were quite popular - especially if you were of the female persuasion. Samson and Sally, Seabert the Seal, The Little Fox - all titles running alongside each other and carrying the same message: FOUR LEGS GOOD! TWO LEGS BAAAAHHHD!! - and Ferngully is no exception - it just happens to be drawn a little better.
The title alone should be a red flag; Ferngully the ... Read More
Rating:  - Educational and entertaining
This is a great movie for children. Teaches them about ecology and ways to save the planet.
Rating:  - This movie is not really that good.
I honestly don't know why people like this movie so much. The animation is poor, the songs are just dreadful(acid rain falling down like egg chow mein-seriously!!), and the story is extremely one sided. All destruction is portrayed as being bad. There is only one line in the film that suggests that there needs to be a balance between creation and destruction. The portable lumber mill is just ridiculous; that is not how forests are cleared. If you want to teach children about the horrors of clear ... Read More
Rating: - Fern Gully
The DVD Fern Gully has long been a favorite in my household. Both children, now in college, enjoyed it and still do. This recent purchase was a replacement copy. The message of "Fern Gully" becomes increasingly more important as we continue to defile this planet: conservation, respect, friendship. Not only does it have several interwoven life message but the overall story is well-written and executed. The characters are lovable. The beauty of this movie is undeniable: vivid colors, attention ... Read More
Rating: - Brings Back a Lot of Good Memories
I remember watching this show practically all the time with my older sister when I was growing up. I always enjoyed it, and I still do to this day. The animation is great (I absolutely LOVE the intricate detail of the rainforest), the actors are great (especially Robin Williams and Tim Curry), and the music is spectacular. Overall, FernGully is an A+ movie.
