The pristine magical rainforest of FernGully is under threat from logging. When the dark spirit Hexxus is unleashed and takes control of powerful and destructive machinery, Crysta and her fellow fairies rally together to save their home – along with human Zak, whom Crysta has accidentally shrunk to fairy size.
An Australian-American co-production, FernGully features the voices of Samantha Mathis, Christian Slater and Robin Williams. A beautiful musical animation with a strong environmental message, this film remains highly relevant more than 30 years on from its release.
