FernGully: The Last Rainforest

FernGully is neither weighty nor whiny. It sings its message unobtrusively through -- and for -- the trees. And most importantly, it never forgets to be delightful, for children and their moviegoing guardians.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest has a creeping sweetness that sneaks up on the viewer. This musical animation gets off to a slow start, and it's just as slow in the middle. But by the end, it acquires an emotional impact, and later you really feel as though you've been somewhere new. [10 Apr 1992, p.C1]

FernGully is surprisingly courageous in its politics and adventurous in its stylistic choices.

The story tells a useful lesson, the jungle inhabitants are amusing, and although the movie is not a masterpiece it's pleasant to watch for its humor and sweetness.

With its bright colors, upbeat rock soundtrack and strong ecological message, FernGully...The Last Rainforest should delight children and amuse their older siblings and parents.

Ferngully is more run-of-the-mill than its subject matter might indicate. The main characters are disappointingly ordinary, with the exotic Crysta sounding very much like someone who spends time at the mall.

Widely noted as a politically correct animated feature, FernGully is entertaining enough to make its occasionally overstated message palatable.

I grew up absolutely adoring this movie. This film is probably a big part of my love for nature and environmental causes. After watching it as an adult, there are definitely some problems with it, but it is still a good time. Tim Curry slays the role of the villain though. I can't believe that his went head to head with Disney back in the day.

Pretty movie with a very nice message, but nothing exceptional comparing it with other animated movies.
