a bat and some fairies on the cover of Ferngully
Things are about to get a little bit batty over at Hulu as next month will see the arrival of the timeless animated feature, FernGully: The Last Rainforest. That’s right, millennials. The movie that made us incredibly anxious about climate change will soon be available on the streamer. Beginning on September 1, you can take a trip down memory lane and step into the vibrant world created by famed animator Bill Kroyer in what served as his feature-length directorial debut.
Part fantasy, part musical, with a hefty side of drama, FernGully: The Last Rainforest went deep into the tree-covered jungles of the Australian rainforest where a group of fairies fight to keep their home safe from the impending doom caused by the logging industry. Yes, the movie was very much obviously a push for better regulations surrounding the destruction of nature, but with its cute animation and catchy songs, many of us were none the wiser.
Not only do we love that Curry was the leading villain in FernGully, but we also love that we got to hear The Rocky Horror Picture Show alum sing again. Also included in the cast was Robin Williams as Batty Koda, a stressed-out, spazzy bat who spits the most fire bars we’ve ever heard in an animated movie. Filling out the rest of the vocal call sheet are the likes of Christian Slater , comedic duo Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, Grace Zabriskie , Geoffrey Blake , and more.
‘FernGully: The Last Rainforest’s Legacy Close Arriving in cinemas in 1992, FernGully found itself as a non-Disney movie during a time when the studio was at one of its highest peaks. Animated features like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin had come out around the same time and the beloved studio was at the top of its game. On the other side of things, while it was distributed by 20th Century Fox, FernGully came from Kroyer Films Inc.
