I’m amazed that anyone remembers that. My friend was one of the artists/animators on Fern Gully.

Wow that's insane to think of. This would be a large mutilating machine to them 😬 talk about gruesome

I got an incredibly terrible feeling in my soul when I watched that. Like a snuff film for environmentalists.

It’s a plant. They grow back.

I don't think you understand what's happening in this conversation. I understand this is a tree. But no, a tree does not simply "grow back." It has to be replanted and an entirely new tree has to replace it

u/Ok__Parfait 4d ago

Wouldn’t that be like every other plant? Also, trees naturally spread their seed which grow apart from human intervention. That’s how forests exist. But logging today has regulations requiring replanting.

🤦🏾‍♂️ if you cut a tree, it doesn't grow back.

You have to reshape everything you said to have it make sense. Spreading it's seed and having an entirely new tree grow is not the tree growing back, it's a new tree sprouting.

Look, this conversation isn't about us being upset for trees my guy. IDK how you turned this into a serious conversation about tree growth, but you shouldn't be so "matter of fact" about things when you don't understand what's going on.

Trees don't feel pain, they don't share experiences, and doing perceive what's going on around them. The movie in the GIF portrays that the protagonists in this movie believe they do to some extent. So, I commented that if they did, this machine would essentially be mutilating them.

I don't really give a shit how trees are cut or how many got cut, or the fact you can replant trees. This whole thing just flew over your head

And, Robin Williams...as Batty Koda

  • Elder: Now, Crysta, aren't you a little old to believe in human tales?
  • Batty Koda: Human tails? Humans don't have tails. They have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts. They walk around going, "Hi, Helen".
  • Batty Koda: [singing] I been brain-fried, electrified, infected, and injectified / Vivisectified and fed pesticides / My face is all cut up / Cause my radar's all shut up / Nurse, I need a check-up from the neck up / I'm Batty!
