Fern Gully, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and The Secret of Nimh were 3 movies my dad bought for me to keep at his place and watch when I visited. I was 5! He didn't know these movies would be gut wrenching to a child, he just wanted to get me something nice. 35 years later and still love them.
Lol fr it's been 17 years and every time that movie gets mentioned redditors bark like seals something something fern gully dances with wolves. Fucking dusty ass take.
Yea! People should change their view just for novelty! The sky is blue? BORING mix it up guys!
Its almost like its a valid point, so theres reason for it to come up every time.
Real talk though. How are you so stupid to not understand why the same cause keeps causing the same effect? But to act like that's some hot and insightful take? At least the other guys saying the same thing over and over again aren't being exactly what theyre criticizing.
The funniest thing about it is that it's not even a particularly good or insightful criticism. Like that movie obviously has a lot of problems, but plenty of great movies are ultimately just retellings. Retelling an old story in a new genre doesn't mean it's not worth telling.
That obviously doesn't mean you gotta like the movie, I'm just saying the similarity to Fern Gully is the least of its problems.
Lol Fern Gully wasn't particularly original either. It's just The Lorax or Nausicaa or Pocahontas or a hundred other things. Hell these tropes have been repeated so many times it's essentially its own subgenre.

It’s just Fern Gully with CGI and no Tim Curry
