FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST Clip - "Hexxus Dies" (1992)

Hexxus is supposed to be the spirit of destruction, decay, and death, kind of like the grim reaper. He's the balancing half of the creation aspect of nature represented by the fairies. Him being made of pollution might seem a little corny until you realize that the fossil fuels that he feeds off of and is composed of is actually the remains of dead animals and plants. He is literally made of death.

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

Unfortunately, upon further examination that just creates even more questions and problems

[@quinnost-volmers]

It all makes sense now

[@RyunosukeHachi]

Based off of the intro, wherein Magi said he rose up from the bowels of the Earth, that put forward that he’s some kind of spirit of Natural Pollutants, such as the ones formed by volcanic eruptions, wildfires, dust storms, and biological decay. The movie also shows that he got juiced by man-made pollutants.

The one thing that resonated with me in this movie, even as a kid, was that pollution cannot be totally eliminated . That’s why Hexxus could only be trapped, not destroyed.

[@Hilario-von-Fledermausburg1973]

Yes, very true. Because after more than ONE HUNDRED YEARS of polluting the Ozone Layer, for some strange reason, the people of the African savannah and the Sahara are still not roast meat. Weird, right. And it's also weird that if the Poles are melting, why is much of South America still above sea level? If you go to any map, you see that they are the closest to Antarctica. How is it that on this planet so limited STILL Antarctica did not melt and began to sink the coasts?

0:00 Hexxus for those who have not watched ferngully, is a being that feeds on pollution. After shutting down the machine, the fairy’s thought they had starved Hexxus to death but what actually happened was that instead of feeding more pollution he became self sufficient with pollution, like a tornado of fire.

[@aurumvale9908]

like there is not like a billion natural things out there that can kill you. I get the whole 'stop pollution and safe nature' stuff but I really hat how rainforest and stuff are portrait as being a lush, green happy and safe place when in fact everything in nature is trying to kill you, like all the time

[@AAARREUUUGHHHH]

@@aurumvale9908 Yes, everything in nature is about killing each other. Even plants kill other plants. But it's done equally, it balances out thanks to evolution. Human beings don't. We can create great machines to help us destroy things. Instead of hard labour swinging an axe at a tree for 20 minutes, a chainsaw can cut it down in 20 seconds. We are intelligent beings and are destroying our planet, making it inhospitable for us. We should know better, and should act different.

@@princesssunnyshine1757 yeah I did and I enjoyed it. I also got the secondary point of that episode where ppl spout their opinions without actually giving them a real thought. and you hippies all pretending like nature is not about killing us whenever it has the chance is not only dumb but outright retarded. again, I agree killing of nature so long as we can not substitute it with technology is bad, but also humans have absolute priority in the long run. earth's gonna get down sooner or later. giant asteroid splitting the planet or the sun getting a red giant. it WILL happen! Humans ARE special, cause we are the ONLY truly sentient species on this ball of mud. get that into your head! the only, in all of history! no dolphins, no elephants, no lions, no wales ever developed a culture beyond "oh i eat, i sex, i again" and if humans ever die out there might never be another species achieving sentience. humans are earths and all of natures best chance to actually survive in the long run. so yeah, i say protect the rainforest but also do whatever is necessary to ensure human survival! and dont even pretend like nature gives a flying fuck about some species going extinct, that happend also long before human, civilization and pollution even existed. or do you think birds care even the slightest about dinosaurs or the other species that got lost during each of the big catastrophes that changed life on earth?

[@emberedcthulhu7324]

Got to love the symbolism of the strangler fig overgrowing the leveler and Hexxus. No matter how much we screw it up, the natural world will return even after we destroy ourselves. I'd also like to add that this indeed destroys Hexxus. While not directly shown, he is quite literally strangled to death. And as Cryata points out, he can no longer return. Hexxus is a spirit however, and like all spirits they can live on in other ways. Kind of unnerving to think what Hexxus could do if he made it to our world. All that pollution to feed on would make him terrifying.

Humans might be the only intelligent lifeforms in the entire universe, so ensuring its survival beyond earth is our highest responsibility. the moment we have conformation of other intelligent life we can downscale a bit but till then ... on that note it is still necessary to ensure nature can go on, since we cannot 100% replicate an ecosystems yet

I believe that the first animator was French animator Émile Cohl with the animated film: ‘Fantasmagorie’ in 1908. (It could be argued that British animator J. Stuart Blackton also could’ve made the first ever animation in 1906) Émile Cohl is also credited with having the first 2D animated film SHOWN in Japan called: ‘Les Exploits de Feu Follet’ in 1912. ANIME hadn’t started until 1916 with Astroboy by Shimokawa Oten. It’s more like Eastern Asia (Japan in this case) has their own version of Western (American/European) animation. HOWEVER, I do believe if America had stuck with 2D animation we’d have beautiful 2D films that could match Japan’s amazing skills. Cheers!

I was 11 years old in 1992 and "Once upon a forest" (1993) was another great movie about this nature topic animated movies.

I used to watch this part on repeat as a little kid. I thought Hexus looked so cool. My mom was concerned.

[@malinhessedahl]

Love this movie

[@St0nerLaw]

Hexxus scared me as a child and now i find him so cool

[@zesty2023]

I really do wish Hexxus had put up more of a formidable fight. Once the Leveller was turned off he was basically screwed. Kinda made the ending a bit anti-climactic. But I guess in terms of the plot it make sense, without any destruction to feed off of like say.. the volcano in the opening during the last time he rose up, he really doesn't have any power. I mean, his final form I'm assuming was from him being able to access the oil stores in the leveller, but really.. even if Christa hadn't trapped him in a tree what was he going to do? He's basically stranded in place on top of the leveller.

[@megamike15]

he is kinda stuck there. the most he can do is set the trees on fire.

[@jamalyoung8696]

Well how come he didn't use the fire on the vines the fairy guy restrained his arms with. ???????

Plants actually absorb things like CO2 and take in metal pollutants in some cases so plants fight pollution in other mrans Also, this is set in Oz. Our plants tend to be fire resistant depending.

Can we talk about how much I like the design of the leveler and his final form for a sec

[@shawndabelko187]

The leveler was cool could you imagine if was a real machine in life plus I thought of making a model of it but trying to find pieces of things that look like it

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

@@shawndabelko187 it would be awful in real life, it's an overenginneered monstrosity that's liable to collapse under it's own weight, I don't even want to begin to imagine the amount of maintenance it would require.

[@John4gamesyo]

I was obsessed with this movie when I was little. I remembered cheering for the fairies

[@unknownartist689]

Hexxus changes with the toxic he comes in contact; started as a blob, after gaining energy grows a humanoid skeleton before turning into smoke and in the end he becomes flaming oil. I wonder if one the forms seen is the original one. The final form could have been used more.

[@NyghtStrix]

I would be so down for a real life re-make of this movie with these characters and this story. Would be absolutely amazing.

[@heatherturner2366]

Only if it was done with respect to this version and to the fans of the movie

hmm, not exactly but pretty close is Avatar

This movie teaches you so much about life and respecting nature

[@sgtjohnson]

By far one of the most terrifying villains in a kids movie

[@chadpeterson5698]

Appearance and voice wise definitely but there are other villains who could give Hexxus a run for his money such as The Horned King, Claude Frollo, and Jenner.

An eloquent ball of slime, a singing smoke cloud, and a towering burning black skeleton. Whenever I hear the expression "evil comes in many forms," Hexxus is the first thing that comes to my mind.

[@cujoedaman]

I love how absolutely anti-climactic the end of this movie was. No big battle, no heroics, no special plot device, not even a one on one of Hexxus and the main characters. They defeated Hexxus by planting a seed... in toxic waste.
