What happens

FernGully: The Last Rainforest is a 1992 animated musical fantasy film directed by Bill Kroyer from a screenplay by Jim Cox, based on the FernGully stories by Diana Young. It stars the voices of Samantha Mathis, Jonathan Ward, Tim Curry, Robin Williams, Christian Slater, and Grace Zabriskie. The film is set in an Australian rainforest inhabited by fairies, including Crysta, who accidentally shrinks a young logger named Zak to the size of a fairy. Together, they rally the fairies and the animals of the rainforest to protect their home from the loggers and Hexxus, a malevolent pollution entity. Wayne Young, the film's producer, said that the film was "blatantly environmental", although he made an effort to avoid "preaching". FernGully was released in North America on April 10, 1992, to mainly positive reviews, and was generally considered a moderate financial success at both the box office and in home video sales. In 1998, it was followed by a direct-to-video sequel, FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue, although none of the original voice cast reprised their roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
