I loved ferngully as a child too. I grew up as the child of environmentalist socialists in a conservative Christian town and got bullied a lot. To this day I get shit for being a vegan and driving a Prius and I don’t have contact with most of my extended family because of their beliefs. Yeah, logging isn’t the main cause of deforestation. I’m vegan, so I know it’s animal ag. Yeah, the message of “human bad tree good” is a little heavy handed. And the fact that the native Australian fairies look British is just not ok. But this was a story about two people cross cultures and species representing the opposing forces of nature and industrial destruction finding common understanding. The story isn’t supposed to condemn humanity and industry or idealize nature as it is. It’s about finding the common ground between and the hope of a future of coexistence. I also love the Batty Coda character and his song. I’ve seen animal testing up close and it is monstrous. The things that have been done in the name of science to humans and non humans against their will is horrific. Many of the lines in Batty’s song reference directly to real life cruel experiments done to animals, but also humans. Many of these horrible experiments continue on today. I just rewatched furngully. It has its flaws, but I still love it and I think this was an incredibly unfair ans shallow analysis. “Is the Australian rainforest even in danger?” “No.” Not only is that not true now, but it wasn’t true when this video was made and it also wasn’t true when the movie was made.

Nature is incredible! No matter what we do, the harm will kill us before it kills the world in general & the plants will take back everything. I'm sorry your not in contact with most of your family.

@@RealSimsHouse you used to be vegetarian. So you used to not eat dead animals and you decided their lives no longer mattered cuz you feed strays or something? You were a pagan for 16 years then came back to the religion and political ideology responsible for most of the war and environmental destruction for the last millennium? But nature is beautiful and should be protected… not because it deserves it on its own but because god gave you nature and your should protect it? I was raised Mormon, but I spent the first 20 years of my life as an atheist. I just did t buy the story. It didn’t make sense, and I thought it was BS. I was bullied by my peers and even my teachers and authority figures for being openly atheist as young as 5. I spent the majority of my life outside, taking comfort in trees and animals. The first spiritual experience I ever had was at age 20 and it wasn’t Christian. I had a pagan spiritual awakening and even though I feel affirmed in that, it’s still Christians, conservatives, and just general society that mocks and ostracizes me for not killing animals. I don’t care if you feed strays. I rescue them and volunteer time at shelters and comfort them if they are too wounded to survive. Better yet I don’t eat them. I don’t care if you hope things get better for me, you can tell your employer that you’re a Christian and he can’t fire you. I can’t. I don’t care if you love nature, you contribute to the climate change that will kill us all in a way I don’t. Your words are hollow, and I’d really rather you just keep your religion to yourself and change your politics to not hurt others.

This movie. This movie was, strangely, one of the scariest experiences of my early childhood. See, when I was veeeeery little, in about '94 we got it on vhs, and my big sister _being a big sister_ told me that now, after being defeated by main heroes, the smokey villain is actually secretly living in our room, in the dark space between a wardrobe and the wall, right next to my sleeping place. I kinda believed her but understandably was a bit skeptical (as skeptical as a ~three-year-old could be), so that same night when I fell asleep, she put my foot into that crack behind our wardrobe. Can you freaking _imagine_ my reaction the next morning, waking up like this, like something tried to drag me into the darkness in the night, _gosh._ I was terrified out of my wits for weeks! So yeah, Ferngully's all about good pro-nature messages, fairy-tale magic, the good defeating the evil, and scared out of their minds babies.

Ferngully: The Last Rainforest officially turns 30! This was an attempt to make kids care about nature, spread a message, and do an animated feature based on bedtime stories that Diana Young told her kids back in the ‘70s I remember renting it a lot from price chopper on vhs Love the animation, the music by Alan Silvesrti, the visuals are very pleasing with capturing the Australian rainforest locations, the fairies voiced by Samantha Mathis, Christian Slater, Tone Loc as the singing lizard, and Tim Curry voicing the villainous toxic entity Hexxus Jonathan Ward as Zak is just ok, not a lot of charm or personality The Sheena Easton song is the most memorable next to Toxic Love Hard to believe it came out a few months before Aladdin also featuring Robin Williams Was a moderate box office success yet faced studio difficulties plus Bill Kroyer, the project’s director, and Jim Cox, its writer, were both veterans of Disney and managed to poach several young artists under the nose of Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was the head of Disney’s animation division Williams was also urged to not do the film but The Little Mermaid helped re-spark animation back on the big screen Ferngully was even shown at the UN General Assembly in 1992 on Earth Day Shows kids there's still magic in the world and enough to care for the green world of ours perhaps more blatant than preachy about the harm humans cause nature and the earth

Its so funny to see this now for me. Because it has both Tim Curry and Robin Williams, yet they don't have character moments together. It would have been awesome to see these two world class actors in a thriller or horror. I mean could you imagine how Insomnia would have been if it was a Tim Curry in the lead role, or if they did a 48hrs film? I know it'd be easy to see them in comedies, but given my love for suspense and the stunning amount of comedians that can pull off a edge in a subtle way; and knowing the way both men could delve into a character role. They would have killed it in a serious film together.
