If there were a Holy Trinity of Aesop-y children's animation of the early '90s, it would consist of Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue... and FernGully.FernGully: The Last Rainforest is a 1992 animated film produced by Kroyer Films, Youngheart Productions and FAI Films, and distributed by 20th Century Fox, and is based on the children's book of the same title, written by Diana Young. It is directed by Bill Kroyer with the screenplay by Jim Cox.It takes place in an Australian rainforest (though, strangely, none of the humans even try to fake an Australian accent). Within is the titular Magical Land, "FernGully", which is inhabited by a wide variety of Fairy Creatures. They are led by the wise Magi Lune (Grace Zabriskie), who is currently teaching her young protege, Crysta (Samantha Mathis), the secrets of the forest. Here, Fairies believe that humans are extinct, having been last seen fleeing an attack by the spirit of destruction, Hexxus (Tim Curry). One day, while enjoying the forest with her suave boyfriend Pips (Christian Slater), curious Crysta ventures outside FernGully, and accidentally discovers a human logging operation. After meeting an insane fruit bat named Batty Koda (Robin Williams), and accidentally shrinking one of the humans, Zak (Jonathan Ward), down to her size, Crysta has to face the recently and accidentally released Hexxus, who lives off pollution and threatens to destroy the forest.FernGully did only moderately well at the box office, at least in comparison to that other animated film featuring Robin Williams that was released in 1992, but it wasn't really a bad movie; it just oozed Aesop from every available pore.Like most other animated films of this time period that had any kind of success, FernGully spawned one very cheap Direct to Video sequel titled FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue, for which none of the original cast reprised their roles.Also, this movie is not a prison break movie. | |

Heroic BSoD: Crysta has a major one when she learns that the humans are destroying the forest. Seconds later, she has another one when Magi gives up her life force to empower her and the other fairies. Zak gets a brief one shortly after Crysta turns her back on him for his lies. Magi Lune lapses into a troubled and depressive state upon realizing that her magic is no longer strong enough to counter Hexxus's destructive powers. | |

Watch Out for That Tree! | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_1ec7ea4a | comment |
Watch Out for That Tree!: It's a running gag that Batty Koda crashes into trees and windows. This is Truth in Television. Because fruit bats are just so massive, they have a lot of excess inertia when it does come time to stop, resulting in rather hard landings. That said, they probably don't land face-first into the trunk. | |

Kryptonite Factor | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_22ecc839 | comment |
For all the times the first movie tries to show nature as beautiful and humans as destructive, the true villain of the film wasn't the humans, or even something created by them, but a living being who's polluting the forest so he can eat. Life is literally toxic to him, and pollution is his only sustenance. So basically, in a movie about how wonderful nature is, they made the bad guy a natural being whose nature is to feed on nature itself. | |

Broken Aesop | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Averted - at first you're concerned that the movie is going to tell you that the fairies can take care of it. But Magi Lune is very explicit that with damage this extreme, there's very little she can do to fix it. Zak tells his friends that things have got to change. For all the times the first movie tries to show nature as beautiful and humans as destructive, the true villain of the film wasn't the humans, or even something created by them, but a living being who's polluting the forest so he can eat. Life is literally toxic to him, and pollution is his only sustenance. So basically, in a movie about how wonderful nature is, they made the bad guy a natural being whose nature is to feed on nature itself. Then again, the first movie makes it clear that nature consists of a balance of creation and destruction. A little destruction is okay as long as it's tempered with creation. Hexxus is a problem because he's bordering on being an Omnicidal Maniac (mind that he sung about having shopping malls built), though it's sure he is nasty enough to pollute nature something awful given the chance. It's worse in the book, where that version is confirmed for wanting to wipe out all life with a pollution World-Wrecking Wave to create his own graveyard Villain World. The film also never claims that humans are destructive per se, just greedy, thoughtless, and/or short-sighted, which can lead to unwittingly causing more destruction than the world can recover from. | |

The spell instead shrinks the human to about three inches tall, which is fairy size. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Pips. He's a tough, badass fairy that hangs out with a group of biker fairies/impish creatures that very openly distrust Zak multiple times, but he's mostly concerned about Crysta's safety and FernGully's survival, not to mention that he wants her for himself. Near the end of the movie, he ends up saving Zak from falling to his death and helps him get inside the Leveller. In the sequel, Pips even helps Crysta and her friends foil the poachers' plans. | |

Scenery Porn: The very colorful, lush environments are actually based off of what the filmmaker and a group of animators saw during their trip to the Australian rainforests and are arguably the most researched part of the movie. For example, the scene where Zak talks about life in the city seems to exist for the sole purpose of showing off the beautiful glowing mushrooms growing on the trees. | |

Body Horror: Hexxus gets a tree grown out of him. Twice. The second time is much more graphic. Considering the roots burst out of his chest and fuse him into the trunk, it's got to hurt. That...thing with the electric wires sticking out of Batty's head is a more minor example, seeing as it's implied to be permanently attached to him. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Batty seems to hate humans in both movies, but very much distrusts them with hardly any exception. Really does – his experiences in the lab means that he sees them as monsters without feelings, "numb from the brain down" to the point that it'd be advisable to kill one. Admittedly, he has a damn good reason... | |

Compact Infiltrator: When first released from the tree, Hexxus initially takes the form of a tiny blob of brown slime, allowing him to sneak around the Leveller by pouring himself down pipes, climbing out of smokestacks, and oozing through gratings - eventually giving him the opportunity to trick the Leveller's operators into doing his bidding. In the finale, Zak's shrunken status gives him an advantage when the Leveller needs to be shut down before Hexxus uses it to destroy Fern Gully: not only is he the only ally of the fairies who knows how to switch off the machine, but he's small enough to be pushed through the closing window of the cab. | |

Humans Are Cthulhu: Apparently all they, for some time thought as nonexistent, do is create pain and pollution and destruction. But they're not all bad, because they also have boom boxes! | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Well, how were Tony and Ralph supposed to know the boss ordering them over the radio to level trees overtime and get to FernGully by morning was a level of rather 'planticidal' Anthropomorphic Personification of Destruction that just wanted to literally lay waste to all life to create his own pollution paradise? | |

Foreshadowing | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When Hexxus regains his full power at the beginning of "Toxic Love", he appears as a black skeleton with fangs. At the end of the film he takes on this form again, wreathed in flames. During Magi Lune's monologue to Crysta at the very beginning of the film, she says "I won't be around forever." She gives up her life force to empower Crysta and the other fairies for the final fight against Hexxus. | |

Faeries Don't Believe in Humans, Either | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_a5182769 | comment |
Faeries Don't Believe in Humans, Either: The fairies are surprised by the arrival of Zak, arguably more so than he is to them. Crysta's father actually says to her, "Don't you think you're a little old to believe in human tales?" Also played with—it's not that they believe humans never existed, as they're certain they did and indeed, they've interacted with them many ages ago. However, humans left the rainforest at some point and this led the fairies to believe that mankind had died off. Indeed, when Batty mentions humans we get this exchange: | |

Oh, Crap! | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: An overabundance of them. To wit: Crysta gets one at the beginning of the film when she sees a wedge-tailed eagle heading straight for her. Magi when she becomes suspicious that the smoke near Mount Warning is Hexxus. Crysta when she touches her hand on a tree only to discover that she has spray paint from the "X" marking on it. Crysta has another one when she gets pursued by Zak after he accidentally sprays the tree containing Hexxus. Then again after she sees the leveller cutting down one of the trees and when she and Zak are about to get minced by the saw. Batty when he realizes that Zak's a human shortly before he crashes into a tree. Zak when he wakes up to see Crysta holding his pocket knife. Batty again when he comes to and sees Zak, causing him to fall out of the tree. He has another one seconds later when Zak pulls his pocket knife on him. Zak when he encounters Goanna for the first time. Batty when he is about to crash into a tree once again seconds after Zak gets dropped off by the Beetle Boys. Zak gets one when he realizes that the leveller has been poisoning the trees and water all along. Crysta when she realizes what the humans have really done to the forests. Zak, Crysta and the fairies when Hexxus and the leveller finally enter FernGully. Zak when he sees that the leveller is about to crush him shortly after he goes out to help. Zak and Batty when Hexxus uses the leveller's headlight to try and kill them. Tony and Ralph when they see Hexxus on the windscreen. Zak again when the vibrations almost cause him to fall to his doom. Crysta and the fairies when Hexxus begins to destroy FernGully. Seconds later, Hexxus gets one when Zak turns off the leveller. Zak, Crysta, Pips and the fairies get one when Hexxus reveals his true form. Hexxus at the end when Crysta and the fairies use their magic to help seal him forever. | |

Omnicidal Maniac: Hexxus wants to destroy the rainforest, at least, in the movie (in the book, that version definitely wants to kill off all the Earth's creatures) by any means he can find, with a desire of turning it into an uninhabitable toxic wasteland. He's the primordial embodiment of destruction and pollution, so it's literally his purpose for existing in the first place. | |

Unlucky Childhood Friend: A lot of if not any interest Crysta may have had for Pips takes a back seat as soon as Zak shows up. Pips doesn't take it well at least at first. Whether he remains this is ambiguous; the two share a tender smile at the end but this may be bidding Zak farewell. Crysta flies off before anything more happens and Pips follows her like he always does. The sequel certainly did nothing with this. | |

It seems the fight is over, but then he regenerates into an even stronger form that's essentially The Grim Reaper made of fire and tar. Then Crysta finds another way to defeat Hexxus by using the forest's magic to reseal him inside another magic tree. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Crysta leaves Zak behind shortly after learning he lied to her about how the humans are destroying the rainforest. Tony and Ralph make a break for it after they see Hexxus in the flesh for the first time. | |

FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_db9dd05 | comment |
Magic Misfire: How Zak gets shrunk. Crysta was trying to cast the spell that would merely make him see her (the same spell she used on Batty earlier) but she flubbed the incantation, granting him with fairy "size" instead of "sight". | |

FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |

May It Never Happen Again | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_e4157ffd | comment |
May It Never Happen Again: When a logging outfit starts to clearcut a pristine forest, they unknowingly release the sealed evil in a tree that is Hexxus, the amorphous embodiment of destruction, desolation and death. Hexxus takes control of the Leveler, and rolls toward Ferngully. It takes almost every sprite and fairy in Ferngully to stop Hexxus, and seal him up once more inside a living tree. | |

Hands Looking Wrong | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_e4a5bb49 | comment |
Hands Looking Wrong: In the finale, the Leveler is shut down, depriving Hexxus of exhaust to feed off, destroying his gaseous body, and forcing him to assume his One-Winged Angel form: a giant cloaked skeleton made of Ominous Obsidian Ooze and fire. Hexxus briefly looks down at his now-solid hands, turning them over as he realizes that he's at full strength, and then looks up with an absolutely monstrous Slasher Smile. | |

Humongous Mecha | |
FernGully: The Last Rainforest / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: The Leveler. It's a bulldozer, a timber harvester, a tractor, and an automated factory all in one. It has two huge arms with giant claws for hands, chainsaws on its "elbows", and a "mouth" with backwards-facing "teeth" that pull unfortunate trees inside it, all topped off with a control room that looks like a single wide cyclopes-like eye. Basically, take Gigan and turn him into a vehicle. | |

Evil Laugh Turned Coughing Fit: Hexxus has a laugh at the end of his extended song that ends with a dry cough. Can be seen as a satire, but actually justified, as Hexxus is the embodiment of pollution. | |

Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Shortly after being shrunk, Zak encounters a giant lizard who sings a sexual song about how he wants to eat him. The lizard is voiced by Tone Loc. Later in the film, toxic gas that is killing the rainforest takes on a human form and sings a sexual song about how much he enjoys being toxic. The gas is voiced by Tim Curry. | |

One-Winged Angel: After Hexxus' power source from human pollution is disconnected his smoke form dissipates, and it momentarily seems like he's defeated. Then he harnesses his own power and transforms into a giant, black, cloaked skeleton made out of fire and tar. It's hinted to be his real form, as it's glimpsed earlier in the film during his Villain Song. | |
