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".

Oh, no, no. Of course not.

You've got nothing to worry about.

- Why?

- Because, um, it's trapped.

[Chuckles Nervously]

Oh, I know.

By those red marks.

- It can't go past them.

Well, they must be magic.

- Yeah!

[Laughs Nervously]

You know, you're pretty smart, fairy.

I want to learn

magic like yours.

Yeah?

Uh, w-well, here.

[Grunting]

Come here.

- [Match Strikes]

- [Gasps] What is it?

It's fire.

That's fire?

- Ow!

- Careful!

[Chuckling Evilly]

Mmm, delicious.

A first-class smoke.

Mother's milk.

Oh, what is

this delightful thing,

and how did I get

out of that tree?

Of course... humans.

What wonderful creatures.

So clever, so helpful.

[Chuckling, Slurping]

I must take this wonderful

human thing to...

FernGully.

[Hexxus Over Speaker]

New orders, boys.

You're going to FernGully,

and I want you there

by morning.

By morning?

Uh, I don't know

if we can do that.

You'll just

have to work harder, then.

Double shifts. No breaks.

No breaks?

And make sure you got

plenty of oil.

Roger that.

We'll give her the gas.

Hey, Tone, you know

what this means.

Yeah.

[Chuckling]

- Beaucoup overtime.

- [Machinery Rumbling]

Oh, what a miraculous device.

[Chuckling]

I'm really getting the hang of this.

I do believe we are destined

to be soul mates.

[Music] Hit me one time [music]

[Music] Hit me twice [music]

[Music] Oh, ah [music]

[Music] Oh, that's rather nice [music]

[Music] Oil and grime [music]

[Music] Poison sludge [music]

[Music] Diesel clouds

and noxious muck [music]

[Music] Slime beneath me, mmm [music]

[Music] Slime up above [music]

[Music] Ooh, you'll love my [music]

[Panting]

[Music] Toxic love [music]

[Laughing Evilly]

[Belches]

[Music] I see the world [music]

[Music] And all the creatures in it [music]

[Music] I suck 'em dry [music]

[Music] And spit 'em out

like spinach [music]

[Music] 'Cause greedy human beings [music]

[Music] Will always lend a hand [music]

[Music] With the destruction of this

worthless jungle land [music]

[Music] And what a beautiful machine [music]

[Music] They have provided [music]

[Music] To slice a patch of doom [music]

[Music] With my sweet breath

to guide it [music]

[Laughing Hysterically]

[Music] Filthy brown [music]

[Music] Acid rain [music]

[Music] Pouring down [music]

[Music]Like egg chow mein [music]

[Music] Slime beneath me [music]

[Music] Mmm, slime up above [music]

[Music] Ooh, you'll love my [music]

[Panting]

[Music] Toxic love [music]

[Laughing Evilly]

Crysta!

- Crysta!

- Whoa! Hey!

- Any sign of her?

- Let's go back. She's probably

back home havin' dinner.

Yeah, or she's somebody else's dinner.

[Laughing]

She's fine.

Now, keep looking.

- We're lookin', we're lookin'.

- Okay, yeah, we're lookin'.

- We're lookin'.

What are we lookin' for?

- Look at us look. We're lookin'.

Oh, look!

Oh, is that what

we're lookin' for?

This is so incredible!

[Crysta]

What are the trees like where you live?

Not like this.

I live in a city.

"City"?

Yeah... buildings,

traffic, roads,

lights... a city.

Most humans live in cities.

- There's not many trees there.

- But how can you live without trees?

- Easy.

- But trees give life.

They make the clouds,

the rain, the air.

- We've got air.

- Yeah, if you don't mind getting

all your minerals in one breath.

[Coughing]

Don't you miss

talking to the forest?

Can't say I've actually

talked with a forest before.

I do all the time.

[Chuckles]

What does it say?

Well, listen.

[Music]It's raining like magic [music]

[Music]It's falling like starlight [music]

[Music]It's raining like magic [music]

[Music]It's raining life [music]

[Music] The forest is breathing [music]

[Music]And ferns are rejoicing [music]

[Music] The trees are all singing [music]

[Music]Hey, it's raining life [music]

[Chorus]

[Music]Raining like magic [music]

[Music]La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

It's raining life [music]

So what about you, Crysta?

I mean, what do fairies do anyway?

- "Do"?

- Yeah, I mean,

do you have jobs or anything?

What-What's a job?

Guess that answers

that question.

Look, um,

what do you do all day?

- Mm, help things grow.

- Yeah? That sounds cool.

No, usually it's warm.

- No, no. Cool means hot.

- What?

Yeah. You know...

bodacious, bad, tubular.

Awesome use

of the language, dude.

As in,

"You are

one bodacious babe."

And that's good.

I mean cool.

- [Zak] Yeah.

We're communicating now.

- [Snoring]

[Crysta]

Tubular.

[Chopping]

[Chopping Continues]

Morning!

- [Gasps]

- What are you doing?

Carving your name.

See? C-R-Y-S...

No, no, you mustn't do that.

Here.

- Can't you feel its pain?

- "Its pain"?

- [Crysta] Yes.

- Humans can't feel anything...

they're numb from the brain down.

Oh, Zak.

He doesn't understand.

[Sighs]

Did I say something wrong?

So, uh, which way

to FernGully?

- [Grunting]

- Oh!

[Laughing]

[Zak Laughing]

Isn't this great?

Wow!

- What is this place?

- This is FernGully.

[Yelling]

- Hey, Crysta, what's this?

- [Yells]

Careful, Stump.

He's a human.

- Hey!

- Hey, how does it taste?

- A "hoo-man"?

- Is this what we're lookin'for?

- Let go of me!

- [Yells, Indistinct]

- Crysta!

- Hey, that's my human!

Hey!

Oh, no!

I'm blind! Oh, no!

I can see!

It's a miracle!

Another perfect landing.

No worries. I'm okay.

- Thank you for caring.

It's just a few bruises.

- [Chattering]

- Nobody cares about me.

- I do, bat man.

- You sure?

- I'm positive.

- Only fools are positive.

- Are you sure?

- I'm positive. I fell for it!

- [Chuckling]

- I should have known!

- Come on, Zak.

Crysta, we were

so worried about...

- What's that?

- Father, I'd like you to meet Zak.

- Hi.

- He's a bodacious babe.

- A what?

- He's a human!

[All Gasp]

[All Chattering]

Somehow I thought they'd be...

bigger.

Well, I had a little accident,

and he sort of shrank.

But just think...

humans back in the forest.

Yep, there goes

the neighborhood.

- Be nice, Batty.

- First thing, all these trees go.

Then come your highways,

then come your shopping malls

and your parking lots...

and your convenience stores,

and then come...

Price check on prune juice, Bob.

Price check on prune juice.

Crysta! Where you been?

I've been looking all over for ya.

Pips, you won't believe

what I found.

Isn't he amazing?

Shouldn't we be charging

admission for this?

That's all you've got to say?

I been out all night,

and you want to show me

this weird creature here?

This "weird creature"

is a human.

Hmm. He's kinda small,

ain't he?

- [Whistles]

- [All Shouting] Look out!

[All Gasp]

Uh, Pips, why don't you tell us

about your strange treasure?

Oh. Well,

it's simple, really.

It's hard like stone,

yet, uh... yet it's hollow.

And, uh, yeah,

it has this, uh...

it has this little vine

coming out of it and... and...

It's my stereo.

Look, I found it,

so I'll explain it, all right?

Okay.

Then what is it?

- Well, it's obviously, um...
