FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST Clip - "Batty Koda" (1992)

[@johnnyngo2896]

This is why Batty's without a doubt the best character in the movie considering that he's a talking bat voiced by Robin Williams! Add to the fact that he's very over-the-top and flamboyant makes him even more iconic and unforgettable!

His ptsd is funny but frightening also

I just love in this movie, fairies think of us humans as the mythical creatures and Crysta's interaction with Zak later on demonstrates that.

[@ImperialKnight770]

It's basically the reverse version of humans believing fairies are a myth

[@doubleagaming3655]

I was absolutely in love with this movie as a child so my mom bought me a bag with Batty on it off of EBay. I loved it as a kid and kept it growing up. A year or two ago me and my mom happen to stumble on the topic of the bag and turns out that only people who worked on the film were giving those bags, long story short I have a bag that was given to someone who worked on the film. It is a prized item to this day.

[@Tiresias55]

3:11 I know it's the point, but as a kid this part always scared the shit out of me. This movie was excellently written, light hearted, poinient, scary, and beautifully vibrant all rolled in one. RIP Robin Williams for being such a large part of my childhood.

[@alexadams4358]

I blame the music for making that scary. Especially this 3:51.

[@madisontosi6893]

yes! this is the only part i could remember from childhood. took me 10 years to find this movie again just based off the description of fairies hiding while the forest is destroyed. i could never find it until one of my teachers played it in class and i flipped out bc i had finally found it again.

[@christinawolfe5332]

My personal favorite one that I quoted to my neighbor as a 90s child was, "Human Tales? Humans don't have tails, they have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts. They walk around going, "Hi Helen!" My neighbor's name was Helen, making it just for her: she laughed when I did it, lol.

I would like to see a movie based on batty, it would have made his character shine, plus Robin Williams is a genius.

I remember that during this and Aladdin's development, Jeffery Katzenburg (the president of Disney until 1995) did not want Robin to be in this movie because he wanted to market Robin in Aladdin during this movie's development, this backfired obviously and Robin did not want to be in a Disney film after Katzenburg fucked everything up. When Katzenburg was fired, Joe Roth wrote a public apology letter to Robin and stated they had agreed to not market Robin in any future Aladdin advertisements.

Rather funny to think about the fact that Robin Williams played almost identical characters with Batty Koda in Fern Gully and the Genie in Disney's Aladdin. Both films were released in 1992.

[@TraustiGeir]

It's less funny when you read about Disney's attitude towards him working on both projects at the same time. That company has apparently been vile for a long time.

[@celestiadrools9551]

@@TraustiGeir gosh that must have been tough for him.

[@TraustiGeir]

@@celestiadrools9551 No doubt. It was bad enough that Disney used Genie and Robin's voice to sell merchandise. Something Robin always said he never wanted to do, so they apparently dubbed Genie in commercials.

Yeah. Disney tried to force him out of it. But Robin already signed the contract for ferngully before even thinking about being the genie. Disney was powerless.
