FERNGULLY, like I expected, was a waste of time. It was poorly animated, and it was utterly asinine.

Not just a cartoon but one with a message: it's all in the title. In the world of CGI the old school hand-drawn looks old some, but it's for the kids and so ... they might appreciate it's magic.

This was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and I think kids today should see it too. It has a wonderful lesson about pollution and the destruction of rainforests, but it's also exciting, creepy, funny, and entertaining. There are some great songs too. Plus, it's about fairi... read more

Critic Reviews
Still relevant theme of saving rainforests is fine children's animation, pre-Pixar, pre-digital.
A self-important environmental message piece that only Sting could love. Full Review
Hey, if the Veggie Tales folks can sell religion in this fashion, then I say the environmental lobby deserves their fair shot as well. Full Review
Hardly an obstacle to the Disney machine, it is still plesant.
