Ferngully: The Last Rainforest | 1992 | G | - 0.1.0
In this animated tale, Crysta, a blue-eyed fairy, shrinks Zak, a human logger, to fairy size when a tree falls in his direction. She then introduces him to the magic of the rainforest and opens his eyes to the threats posed by humans and the evil spirit Hexxus. In their own way, each helps save FernGully from destruction.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - The male fairies do not wear shirts. Also, Crysta and Zak share a quick kiss and, later, an embrace-but, remember, these characters are animated.

VIOLENCE 1 - Largely, the leveler "eating" trees-a rather loud process which might prompt cries from small children. Eventually, the evil Hexxus is imprisoned within a large tree.
LANGUAGE 0 - None.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The deforestation of the rainforest.
MESSAGE - Here good over evil is synonymous with protecting the environment. Telling the truth is also emphasized.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
