FernGully: The Last Rainforest
Dir: Bill Kroyer
1992
***
In retrospect it's not a bad film. Sure its style is a mix of Disney, Warner Brothers and Hanna-Barbera but its songs and message are its own. It was quite a popular subject in the early 90's and I remember much was taught in schools about the rainforest, recycling etc. You can't knock the message, well maybe you can knock the underline spirituality nonsense but the songs are pretty good! A great slice of early 90's animation, I quite enjoyed its simplicity compared to today's 3D wizardry but I'm glad cartoons are a little less serious and play more for laughs like they used to.
