Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe "FernGully" forest depicted in this movie was based on Australia's rainforests. The cartoonists who worked on this movie spent time in the real rainforests to help inspire their drawings.
- GoofsA running gag is that Batty, being a bat (and thus short-sighted) keeps running into things. Yet Batty is a fruit bat: these are day animals with quite good sight, particularly useful to spot berries and fruit to feed on.
- Quotes
Elder: Now, Crysta, aren't you a little old to believe in human tales?
Batty Koda: Human tails? Humans don't have tails. They have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts. They walk around going, "Hi, Helen".

Featured review
I remember watching this and the sequel as a kid and I have to say, this brings back good memories. Krista is a fairy that learns how to protect the woods. While doing so, she comes across a man who's part of a company cutting down trees. After saving him, she takes him to her home where two worlds collide.
As they try to figure out what's draining their woods, they deal with other characters such as Batty(Robin Williams) a bat that escaped a lab yet still had a machine on its head. The two begin to grow closer while also learning about each other's worlds.
The animation's so vivid. Even today it looks amazing. The characters are decent. Some of them seem a little recycled but to be fair, they still have their own identity. The message is simple yet powerful (and a little heavy handed). It's all about environmentalism. This's a movie I'd recommend you show your kids. It's cool, cute, funny, and has a decent message that couldn't be any more relevant today.
