Although the voices weren't packed with celebs, this movie was interesting and had a wonderful storyline.

A Rare Gem

"There are very few movies that we can watch more than once. Fern Gully is one of a handful of them, and it's great for the whole family! Wonderful catchy music, beautiful and clever animation, creative characters, classic lines, great voices, and a nice, relatively subtle environmental message. There are so many ridiculous movies out there for kids that have the same predictable plots. It's refreshing to have a movie like this come along. I can't wait to get it on DVD!"

"This was the last movie that I ever watched with my father before he passed away. So this movie has alot of sentimental meaning but it's a great movie for children. I saved mine for my daughter to watch. Batty is so funny and the singing in this movie is great. Though Hexas used to scare me when I was younger I loved this movie and I'm in my 20s and I still know every word to it. For parents out there looking for a good movie with a good message, this is the movie you're looking for!"
All around great movie

"I've remembered and loved this movie for years. It's got great a message for both kids and adults. Robin William's character is hilarious and unforgettable. Definetly watch. The music numbers and the final scene make it all the worthwhile."
A magical animated movie!

"Set in Australia, a magical rainforest named " Ferngully" is occupied by many fairies and animals alike but is in danger. Humans are tearing it down, they also accidently unleash a evil spirit called " Hexxus" who plans on destroying the forest. A beautiful fairy named " Crysta" finds a good hearted human and shrinks him down to human size so that he can help her save the rainforest.A very entertaining, magical and good hearted animated movie with good humor, cool animation and a message about saving the rainforests. The voice acting is also superb such as Tim Curry, Robin Williams, Christian Slater, Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Tone Loc, Samantha Matahas and Jonathan Ward."
How did this touch me?

"Fern Gully was the first film my parents ever took me to see at the movie theater. Freud said that childhood affects a person's character, and this movie really did a lot for me (living in a tropical island wich is full of rainforests, it did get me fairy searching). I have this movie when it came out on tape and I still watch it, last time being today. The characters are amazing, Crysta is so much like me and thank God, not a blonde as every animated movie heroine. Zak is totally cool cause he's not destroying the forest because he's evil, he's doing it because he doesn't care, mainly because of ignorance. Robin Williams is amazing as Batty Koda, as he is in any other role. His lines make me laugh and at the same time dig into your brain. The thing is, that when I saw this movie, I didn't know english, and yet I understood it. It really did shape my mind and character and it's made me the tree-loving, pollution-fighting, rainforest-saving, nature-nut I am proud to be today. So this movie, wether I have to buy on DVD when I have kids (I'm only 15 so that'll be a minimum of 10 years in the future) I want them to see that "all the magic of creation exists within a single, tiny seed"."
