FernGully: The Last Rainforest

Our world was much larger then.

The forest went on forever.

We tree spirits nurtured the harmony of all living things,

but our closest friends were humans.

Then, as sometimes happens, the balance of nature shifted,

and Hexxus... the very spirit of destruction...

rose up from the bowels of the earth...

and rained down his poison.

The forest was nearly destroyed.

Many lives were lost, and the humans fled in fear,

never to return.

Most think they didn't survive.

It was only by calling up the magical powers of nature...

that I was able to trap Hexxus inside an enchanted tree...

and save FernGully.

Which is why it is so important for you to learn to use these powers.

I won't be around forever, and you'll have to...

Crysta?

Yes.

That is why it is so important for you to learn the secrets of...

- Crysta! - Magi, yes. The secrets.

I know. But, I mean, it's all right now.

That was so long ago, and you trapped him in that tree and everything, so...

I really have to go now, but I'll see you later, okay? Bye!

- Hey! - Pips.

You know, you're spending more time with Magi than you do with me.

Well, what can I learn from you?

Hi, Ock. Hi, Rock.

There she goes. Come on. Don't lose her.

Whoa!

- Okay. - Crysta, stop!

Whoa!

Never, never go above the canopy. Never go above the canopy.

Crysta!

Crysta!

- -

- I got ya. -

Are you crazy, going above the canopy?

Yeah, we was almost falcon fodder.

- I've got to tell Magi. - Tell Magi what?

Hey, wait!

Wh-What'd you see... up there?

- Halt! Who goes there? - Hi, Crysta!

- Okay, what's the password? - Oh, come on, you guys.

- Is that the password? - It sounds good.

- Bye. - "Bye." That's it! That's the password!

Well, I don't know if that's the password or not. I'm so confused, you...

Magi? Magi.

Oh, Magi, I just saw the most incredible thing above the canopy.

A whole other world. The sky went on forever.

And way over in the distance as far as I could see,

there was this enormous rock like a...

Mountain. That was Mount Warning.

And next to it was a... a... I don't know.

It looked like a strange black cloud rising out of the earth.

- Smoke, I should think. - What's smoke?

Oh, there are many things in our world you don't yet know about, Crysta.

There are worlds within worlds, Crysta.

Everything in our world is connected by the delicate strands of the web of life,

which is balanced between forces of destruction...

and the magic forces of creation.

Help it grow.

Why can't I do it?

Everyone can call on the magic powers of the web of life.

You have to find it in yourself.

I want to, Magi. You know I do.

But I was thinking about that smoke.

Do you think it could be... Hexxus?

No, there isn't a force in nature that could release him,

and there are no poisons here on which he can feed.

Hexxus is trapped for all time.

Now that's enough for today.

- But what could have caused the smoke? - Now, now, now, off with you.

But, Magi...

Hexxus.

So what did the Mag have to say, huh?

- She said I should get serious. - 'Bout time.

Oh, and stop hanging around with bug-brained layabouts like you.

Oh, no! Oh!

Red light. Red light again.

Immediate clearance requested! Immediate clearance!

- Oh, no! - Where you goin'? Crysta!

Hello?

Bless your heart with magic light. I give the gift of fairy sight.

Oh, what a strange little bug.

I did it! I did it!

Oh! Gravity works.

Oh. Poor guy.

Oh!

Primary testing laboratory. No! Pass the probe.

Graduate students, all gather forward. No!

- Love the haircut. -

It's all right. We won't hurt you.

- He's still a little confused. - Clearly.

Hello, I'm a nocturnal placental flying mammal,

a member of the family of pteropodidae, or Ptero-didn't I.

If you can't tell, I'm a bat!

Yes, I am. And they used to call me "Batty," Batty Koda.

- Pleased to meet you. Bonjour. -

And where are you from?

I just blew in from a biology lab.

I'm back, and I'm flappin' free.

Let me tell you a story, and it's all about...

All of our cosmetics are non carcinogenic.

Seems to have no effect, Doctor. Get me another one. Get me another animal!

- Humans? - Where?

N-N-N-No! Lucy!

No, no, there are no humans.

- They're long gone. - Vanished.

Definitely extinct.

- They only exist in stories. -

Excuse me.

- Oh, charming. - It's been lovely, but I gotta "hoon".

Adios, amigos! Ding! Check, please.

Whoa!

Oh, Father, do you think it's possible?

Could humans still exist?

Now, Crysta. Ooh!

Don't you think you're a little old to believe in human tales?

Human tails? Humans don't have tails.

They have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts.

They walk around going, "Hi, Helen!"

Did you really see humans?

- Were they at Mount Warning? - Oh, masses of Homo sapiens.

Hey! Where are you going?

Yeah, this territory looks kinda familiar.

Fabulous day in the canopy, isn't it?

- Where do you think you're goin'? - Mount Warning.

I know where I am. I know where I am.

Hey! You scared me there. For a minute I thought you said you were going to Mount Warning.

Well, I did.

- But there are humans on Mount Warning! - Exactly.

Fractured fig, fairy bug! Come on!

Mount Warning is the last place in the world a little bug like you wants to go.

Look at these! You think nature did this?

Do you think I put this in to get better reception?

No! Humans did this.

We should stay here. It's nice here.

Come on! You got a great set of wings. Let's just flutter for a while.

- - Batty?

Batty.

Well, come on!

- My heart! Oh, my heart! -

I can't go on. Help me! My little wings can't make it.

Maybe you should wait here for me.

This is a fabulous idea. I really think we should fly with that.

Only, why don't you stay here with me?

It's okay, really. I'll be right back.

Why do I not believe you?

- How're you comin' in your quadrant, Pete? - All done here.

How 'bout you, Willie?

Finito, good buddy.

How 'bout you, Zak?

Zak?

Zak?

Zak?

Zak!

Yeah, yeah. What's the big deal?

You finished marking those trees yet?

I'm gettin' to it. Don't have a cow. Sheesh!

- This city kid comes up here for a summer job. - He doesn't take it seriously.

Tell you one thing: That kid don't belong in the woods.

Freaky.

Gotcha!

Hexxus.
