Synopsis: The fairies live in a peaceful place in the forest called Fern Gully which has been protected for many years by Magi, a wise fairy with strong powers. Her grand-daughter Crysta is a charming, beautiful fairy that is very intrigued about the world outside of Fern Gully. She along with the other fairies in the forest do not believe humans exist and are only in stories, until a crazy bat by the name of Batty, comes and tells them all these crazy stories about how he was captured by humans and experimented on. At first no one believes him except Crysta and she is determined to find out if humans are real. She goes to a place called Mount Warning, where the evil shadow of destruction Hexxus is known to be trapped, and finds a human named Zak. When he is almost crushed by a tree Crysta accidently shrinks him to fairy-size and he falls on a tree that is about to be devoured by "The Leveller".

isn't it?

- Where do you think you're goin'?

- Mount Warning.

[Groggy] I know where I am.

I know where I am.

Hey! You scared me there.

For a minute I thought you said

you were going to Mount Warning.

Well, I did.

- But there are humans

on Mount Warning!

- Exactly.

Fractured fig, fairy bug!

Come on!

Mount Warning is the last place

in the world a little bug

like you wants to go.

Look at these!

You think nature did this?

Do you think I put this in

to get better reception?

No! Humans did this.

We should stay here.

It's nice here.

Come on! You got a great set of wings.

Let's just flutter for a while.

- [Whimpering]

- Batty?

Batty.

Well, come on!

- My heart! Oh, my heart!

- [Gasps]

I can't go on. Help me!

My little wings can't make it.

Maybe you should

wait here for me.

This is a fabulous idea.

I really think we should fly with that.

Only, why don't you

stay here with me?

It's okay, really.

I'll be right back.

Why do I not believe you?

[Squawking, Screeching]

[Gasping]

[Panting]

[Whimpers]

[Electronic Beeping]

- How're you comin'

in your quadrant, Pete?

- All done here.

How 'bout you, Willie?

Finito, good buddy.

How 'bout you, Zak?

Zak?

[Over Speaker]

Zak?

Zak?

[Yells, Echoing]

Zak!

Yeah, yeah.

What's the big deal?

You finished marking

those trees yet?

I'm gettin' to it.

Don't have a cow. Sheesh!

- This city kid comes up here

for a summer job.

- He doesn't take it seriously.

Tell you one thing:

That kid don't belong in the woods.

[music] [Walkman: Dance Beat]

Freaky.

[Groans]

[Chuckles]

Gotcha!

[Hissing]

Hexxus.

[Panting]

- Whoa-oh-oh!

- Yah! Huh?

[Grunts]

Aw, man!

[Machinery Whirring]

- [Gasping]

- Yah!

- Huh?

- Look out!

Bless your eyes with

magic light, I give the gift

of fairy size... oh, sight!

[Gasps]

[Yelling]

Lift! I need lift!

[Batty]

"Don't go, I said. "Bad idea, I said.

But would you listen?

No. Don't listen to Batty. Hmm-mm.

Well, what have we here?

Shoes! Animals don't wear shoes.

- A human!

- A tree!

Whoa!

[Giggles]

[Moaning]

[Gasps]

Take anything you want.

I won't tell the cops. Huh?

- Are you all right?

- [Yells] I'm fine.

- What is going on here?

- The monster... it tried to eat you.

- Monster?

- My friend and I saved you.

Oh, Batty. Batty?

Huh?

Oh, sonic interference.

What a nightmare.

I thought I saw a human.

[Yells]

Human!

[Gasps]

That's a human?

Yes! Kill it! Restrain it!

Medicate it! Something!

[Inhaling]

Puff up. They hate that.

- [Yelling]

- [Screaming]

Back! Back!

Get back!

- Don't worry! I've got it scared.

- No! Stop!

- I have but one claw, but beware.

- Will you both just calm down?

[In Unison] He tried to kill you!

I did not! You did!

Hold on! The only thing

that tried to kill anybody...

was that horrible monster

in the forest.

"Monster"? What monster?

The one that ate the tree.

It was terrible.

Tree?

The leveler.

- Hey, am-am I dead?

- No.

We could fix that for ya.

- Then I must be dreaming.

- Nope.

Aw, sure. And what are you

supposed to be... some kind of fairy?

Of course I am. What about you?

Are you really a human?

Last time I checked.

Listen, fairy,

it's been weird,

but I'm outta here,

this dream is history.

[Yelling]

[Sighs, Grunts]

[Continues Yelling]

[Yelling Becomes Laughing]

[Whooping]

[Laughing, Whooping Continue]

[Yelling]

[Laughs]

- Check this out.

- [Yells]

[Music] I've a basic inclination [music]

- [Whimpering] No. No.

- [Music] A very primal need [music]

[Yelling]

[Music] To inspect the vegetation [music]

[Music] For an egg or centipede [music]

[Music] I just can't control

this hunger [music]

[Music]I just can't seem

to cut it back [music]

[Music] On my ravenous consumption [music]

[Grunts]

[Music] You're a welcome little snack [music]

[Music] If I'm gonna eat somebody [music]

- [Music] It might as well be you [music]

- Uh-oh.

[Music] Can you dig it [music]

[Music] I can see you as a sandwich [music]

[Music] Or a strange exotic stew [music]

[Chorus]

[Music]Floating down the river [music]

- [Music] Like an oyster in a stew [music]

- [Music] Get funky one time [music]

[Music] He's gonna eat somebody [music]

- [Music]It might as well be you [music]

- [Yelling]

[Music] You know it

Kick it one time [music]

- [Yelling]

- [Music] Mmm [music]

[Music] Welcome to the food chain [music]

No! You can't eat him.

He's a human.

- Uh, what's a human?

- [Yelling]

- Delicious and nutritious.

Tastes just like chicken.

- Wait!

- He's my friend.

- [Sighs]

Well, any friend of a fairy...

- [Yelling]

- Is a friend of mine.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, man. You owe me

a free dinner after this one.

- Are you okay?

- [Screams] What happened to me?

- L-l-I'm three inches tall!

- Oh.

- I shrank you.

- You what?

Well, it was

the most amazing thing.

Of course, it's not what the spell

is really supposed to do.

But Magi Lune will fix you.

You shrank me?

- Yeah.

- Catches on quick, doesn't he?

- We better buzz off. It's getting late.

- "Buzz off'?

I'm not buzzing anywhere.

Now, unshrink me, and I mean now!

- Well, I guess I could

take a bash at it.

- "Take a bash"?

Actually,

I'm just sort of learning.

Great! I've been shrunk

by an amateur.

I don't believe this.

Okay, come on. Bash away.

Okay!

What was done, now undo.

Return you to

the form that's true.

[Grunts, Moans]

Oh, oh, oh, big ears.

Elephant! No, no, no.

Anteater! Orangutan!

Okay, okay, let me guess.

A duck! A duck!

Oh, it's Darwin's grab bag!

- [Zak Panting]

- Uh, let me try again.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

- No, no, no!

Thank you, but I think maybe

we better go see this Magi.

I'm Zak.

- I'm Crysta.

- Nice to meet you.

You're going to love FernGully.

It's the most beautiful,

wonderful place in the forest.

Well, come on.

Batty can carry you.

Moi? Uh-uh.

Not this little mammal.

Fly a human?

I'd rather suck wax fruit.

- Hey, Tony.

- What?

You see Zak anywhere?

No, his shift's about over.

He probably cut out early.

That's the problem with

the world today. People are lazy.

I heard that

with my bad ear.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

What is that?

Hey, Tony, you think the leveler

can handle this baby?

- Sure. That leveler eats everything.

- Kinda like you.

How many times a day

I gotta threaten your life?

[Hissing]

Hexxus.

[Laughing Evilly]

[Continues Laughing,

Gurgling]

[Munching, Slurping]

[Crysta] I've got so many things

I want to ask you.

Like, why have humans

returned to the forest?

And what was that monster

that tried to eat you?

That wasn't a monster.

That was a machine.

What's a "machine"?

It's a... a thing...

for cutting down trees.

That's terrible.

[Chuckling]

Only if you live in a tree.

I do live in a tree.

Oh.

You didn't have anything

to do with that "machine," did you?

Uh, what, me?

No. No, no.

No, of course not.

[Grunts]

Oops.

How could I have anything to do

with something that eats trees?

Could it come to FernGully?
