  • @Wandergirl108
    @Wandergirl108 Před 2 lety +127

    This movie was one of my favorites as a kid. And I think, especially for kids, the message that not ALL humans are evil was an important one to include in there - while our technology can have devastating effects, we can still do better than just be mindless instruments of destruction, we can work to mitigate the damage we cause through our technology. Keeping Michelle's parents dead, too, gives the movie a more grounded feeling - sometimes bad things will happen, and there's no undoing that, and all we can do is work to make better what we still have a chance to change. It honestly has a lot of really good messages that I think may have helped shape me into the person I am, and I will definitely be showing it to my kids if/when I ever have any. I'm not sure if I ever saw Fern Gully, and if I did, I don't remember it at all, but I have ALWAYS remembered this movie, because it shows the full spectrum of the good and the bad in our world and encourages us to be better without telling us we're inherently the worst things ever. I still think fondly of this movie and love it to this day.

The difference is that whereas "FN" was told primarily from the father's perspective, "AAT" was told from the child's perspective. Also "FN's" sequel "Finding Dory", while not quote as good as the first film, still had the same heart and soul as the first film.................too bad I can't say the same for the insanely overrated "Fievel Goes West".

    I wish he'd still do some reviews like this along side his new style. The old style feels less like Doug is trying to show off his writing and acting abilities, and more like he's actually applying them..
    I'm always impressed by Doug's abilities, whether he's trying his best or just goofing around, but personally I enjoy him a little more when he's just not giving too much of a fuck and is making a video to be silly and not to store in his professional resumé, so to say.

    I admit of all those 90s environmental animated films I have a soft spot for this one.
    The designs for the protagonists are decently cute, and I'll give it some credit for how relatively grounded it is. There's no evil cloud singing about pollution, it's just an accident that spreads the gas through the forest, and the ending shows humans making an effort to clean up the mess and a random guy saving the hedgehog from a cage.
    Also not dancing around death gets a bit of my respect.

    When I was a kid, I loved watching shows like Sonic SatAM and I actually enjoyed Ferngully. This movie was right up my alley as a kid. As an adult, I think I would have watched this movie and been like, "Okay... what the fuck?"
    I was one of those kids who hated the silly, obnoxiously loud stuff that was clearly catered to children; I wanted to watch movies and shows where the good guys had legitimately evil bad guys. Hexus from Ferngully, Robotnik from Sonic, and in this movie? Well it was shown more that the pollution, littering and general carelessness of Humans was the enemy - not Humans themselves. And I loved that they included that dark twist, showing the two dead parents and making the littlest of the 'furlings' become ill with the risk of death. The three kids totally reminded me of the Freedom Fighters (I mean seriously, they have a hedgehog with them), so I was really able to invest myself in this movie back then.
    This movie certainly wasn't top notch or quality stuff, but as a kid who was looking for something that wasn't all just silly, loud nonsense, I loved this movie. It could have been better, sure, but I think it was fine as it is.
    I still stand by my belief that some older movies can be great for what they do to appeal to the children looking for something different. One of my favorite movie lines of all time, in a kid's movie no less, is from Rock-a-'Doodle, where the Owl Duke (Uncle Dukey) says: "If I kill my nephew, would that be murder or charity?" I mean come on! You don't hear things like that in kid's movies these days!
    So yeah, this movie wasn't perfect, but the dark twists and the risks taken made it something I loved as a kid.

They have a very similar style to Don Bluth's films, and this movie was actually made by the same person who was an executive producer for An American Tail, David Kirschner. They had a low budget, but they really made it work - kind of like how Sausage Party had a very low budget but they managed to make it look great, which is very difficult to do in CGI.

      I thought that too. The fact he says or thinks nothing of it is rather telling how they kinda brush that aside given the circumstances of Michelle's life, though you would think it would've been nice to have had some sign of grief for Cornelius realizing his is now the sole survivor of his family line and the guardian of his niece. That is a lot to take in I'm sure, but I guess for a film aimed at families, they had no time to dabble into that.
      Given the way Michael Crawford voices the guy, I would've thought he'd be much older anyway, though if that were true, Michelle would've called him "Great Uncle Cornelius" instead. Of course that would've put things in a different perspective I suppose.

      If he's Michelle's uncle,wouldn't that mean that Michelle's mother would have been his sister? It's the only possible explanation.

      I always assumed that his sister was Michelle's mother

      Michał Bukowiecki I use to watch that show annually...when did they ever say furlings?

      They were one of the Four Great Races. You never see them or learn much about them apart from their name. Which is a shame.

    • @captain5104
      @captain5104 Před 7 lety +2

      YukiTenshi94 Ah that's why I don't remember them...they were basically a footnote in the series. Still loved that show.

      Pretty much, yeah. I'm currently on my third rerun of the show. It really shaped a lot of my childhood.

      Stargate had furlings, too? I dunno, I didn't watch the show, so I'm asking.

    18:46 that joke could go like this
    Guy 1: Woohoo Marvel studios created a new do it right spiderman film.
    Guy 2: Yes but Sony the same company who created the Ghostbuster remake and the Emoji movie is planning a Venom movie.
    Guy 1: *awakward silence*

      I have no faith in this Venom film and have zero interest in seeing it. The teaser didn't make me feel excited or interested at all. Venom is a great comic character indeed, why does Sony feel the need to make their own spinoff Spider-Man franchise? It's completely pointless. Let Marvel utilize Venom and the other symbiotes in their own films! They created those characters, and they actually clearly know how to make films, comics, and TV series/cartoons about their own characters. Clearly Sony didn't learn their lessons with the not so Amazing Spider-Man films. They should look at Homecoming, that was a great movie, that's a good way to formally reintroduce Spider-Man! After the shit Sony's pumped out like you mentioned, they should just stay away from movies for a while. I'm not going to take the company who thought the Emoji Movie was a good idea seriously.

    • @maniakb416
      @maniakb416 Před 7 lety +236

      They werent om the channel anymore so he reuploads them so that people that havent seen them can see them now.

    • @unkorodin
      @unkorodin Před 7 lety +79

      Konrad Filipiak He re-uploads them because: 1) It's now easier to find the videos and 2) There are other channels that have videos on them that he took down so he's trying to get them back on his channel.

    • @ELEcomments
      @ELEcomments Před 7 lety +91

      its because the originals got copy right striked, so he posts them all again when they are cleared

    I think my parents still have this stored with all the other VHS tapes from back then. When I first watched this as a kid, I didn't realize that Michelle's parents died. I knew Cornelius' parents didn't make it, but I thought her parents were just asleep.
