You won't be disappointed!

How sad is this?

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I first heard of this film when I read about it in the Wikipedia article about the Nostalgia Critic episodes from 2011 and I watched his review of the film on YouTube. After having watched it, it didn't look as bad as I thought it would be, despite Pips having his wings missing during the flight to the human world and the wings of the other fairies barely moving at one point, which were flaws the Nostalgia Critic pointed out himself. I spent ages wondering how to see this film when earlier on I saw that it had been uploaded onto YouTube so I gave it a go. By the time I'd finished watching it, I was satisfied with it since I found it on par with the original that I saw as a kid but I found the climax overlong.The animation is decent for the most part with good uses of cel-shading and lip-sync but it is choppy and wobbly in places and has its flaws as I mentioned already. There was a wider variety of backgrounds compared to the first film but the fairground scene had more vibrancy than FernGully. I was also pleased to see additional human characters such as the poachers (the tall one being the most oddly designed with his super-long chin), Budgie (an unusual name for a girl) and her grandfather while the baby animals are adorable. The writing is not quite as smart as that in the original but I still liked the fairies' and bugs' perceptions of the tap water as a river and the light bulb of the lamp as the sun. The musical score is whimsical and the two most memorable songs are the opening number and the one performed by Batty and the baby animals while they are trapped in their crates inside the poachers' warehouse. I was happy that the iguana/lizard-type character didn't sing in this film because his song in the original was tuneless and pointless. As for Batty, he's not quite as funny as he was in the original while Christa and Pips have barely changed since then. The story is just as decent as the animation with a different environmental message from the original but I felt the first scene of the poachers sitting around the campfire didn't go anywhere and the pace was fairly even until the climax, which made this part of the film drag on. Moving onto the voice acting, it was adequate but didn't feature any of the original cast, which is yet another weak point of this film besides its animation flaws and somewhat uneven pace.Overall this film is on the same level as the original (likewise with the first two 'Home Alone' films and the Disney's 'Cinderella' franchise) despite its errors, overlong climax, scene that went nowhere and none of the original voice cast returning. 8/10.

This movie disappointed me a lot. I loved the first part a lot so was looking forward to watching this movie. But i think the quality of this movie is poor. The drawings of part 1 are bright and nice, in this movie even the wings look crappy and the glowy tail you see when they fly looks horrible.For me i watched it in my own language (dutch) I hated that there where other people for the same characters and the pronunciation of names is all wrong. Because i love Batty. But they suddenly call him Baddie. Also the storyline isn't as interesting as the first.So this movie get a 2. Because it is so much worse then part 1.

Ferngully is one of my favorite animated films of all time, I loved watching it while I was growing up, it had great animation, wonderful characters, funny moments, terrific songs, and a touching message. It was such a great movie for kids and I admit that I still watch it to this day. So I figured I would check out the sequel and see if it would be anything like the first Ferngully. Well, it's not just the mismatched voices that disturbed me, but it seemed like this was supposed to be like the TV cartoon that never got lifted off the ground. The story wasn't bad, but without the same voices, it was a bit distracting, and the new characters didn't have the same charm as the first Ferngully. For the kids, at least under age 7, this film would work for them, but for me, it doesn't.Crysta and her friends are back, Pips is having a bit of a problem excepting his life. He's finding the forest to be a bit boring. But when two evil men come into the forest, they kidnap the baby animals and accidentally burn the forest down. Crysta, Pips, and Batty wanna help restore the forest, Crysta stays home to create her magic while Batty and Pips go to the town to save the baby animals. There Pips meets a pre-teen girl, Twig, and she helps him out to save the baby animals.FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue isn't really worth the watch, for the kids, yeah, but for those adults who enjoyed the first one, there's no point to it. I think this was just an attempt for the TV cartoon, there were just certain elements that reminded me of the Disney spin off's on TV. But for the kids I would recommend this film, otherwise, just do yourself a favor, save yourself the money or rental. I wish I did, I was hoping for a fun sequel, instead I got Velveeta cheese.2/10

when we watched fern gully as a kid we fell in love and watched it at least 20 times, a few years later i rented this movie and didn't bother to finish watching after 15 mins. Watching them both years later i still love ferngully but ferngully 2 may as well have been made by monkeys. It has no quality music, no memorable moments, sure it has magic but it's meaningless, there's no deeper meaning, they didn't have robin Williams and the voices are horrible. The only good thing in this film is about saving wildlife from poachers but the way that they went about it...i expect this kind of stuff from crappy TV series, not sequels based on a truly great filmregards, Reaper
