One day she flies above the forest's dense foliage to glimpse the outside world, and while there, she becomes infatuated with a human named Zak. He's a nice enough fellow, but he also happens to be a workman on the logging machine that threatens to destroy the lush and magical forest. Crysta decides to shrink young Zak down to her size so that he can see the world he is about to demolish from a different point of view. A romance develops between the two, and the couple eventually join forces with some of Crysta's wacky rainforest friends to battle the humans. Unfortunately, our heroes have other enemies too: an evil woodland spirit called Hexxus has arisen from his slumber and, in between snacks of toxic waste, plans to destroy the forest. [More]

Reviews for Ferngully: The Last Rainforest
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.
Hey, if the Veggie Tales folks can sell religion in this fashion, then I say the environmental lobby deserves their fair shot as well.
Sufficiently entertaining – as long as the adults are ready for a post-movie conversation about the realities of tough environment versus development questions.
