Review Time: this film is excellent

Warning: this is just a heads up if you're thinking about showing this project two young children there are some dark themes/scenes situated around our evil character for this project and there is a Star Wars type death.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, words on screen, background music, cultural elements, environmental, time jumps and place jumps.

Movement; it is straightforward [yes this will not be the only time I say straightforward in this review,] but for here and now it is something reliably always moving forward.

Storyline/Moral message/Back stories: the storyline and the moral message is straightforward as this film has been designed to make people aware of the environment and what road we are heading down, the back stories either get a storyteller format [at the very beginning of the film] by showing to us illustrations with voice-over at the same time or sung to us in musical numbers or discussed in the dialogue exchanges; these components are good and as you can see there is good variety as well.

Artistic visions/Action sequences/Comedy level: the artistic visions can be easily seen/heard as we are all taken on this adventure by being shrunk down to the size of a fairy, so everything seems much bigger [like the animals or insects and many other things] as these three characters are heading for FernGully, this project is easy to settle down with and easy on the eyes; be it when these two characters are going up this tree, by its growths on it that can be used as steps/climbing or this sparkling sequence [trust me you'll know what I mean when you come to it; it is impossible to miss even though on first looks, I was under the impression they were stars but I went back and looked again this sequence/location is just incredibly sparkly] or the dark intent of our evil character. The musical numbers are well-placed and they don't interrupt the flow of the film, so there is a good switch between storyline to musical number and back again these are also good.

Action sequences; there is this Skysurfing sequence [but using a leaf instead of a Skyboard and yes this can be seen as an artistic vision as well,] a weapon, loggin vehicles and equipment, rescuing including having a character fly on the back of another character.

Comedy level; it comes from this character his name is Batty Koda [voice performance by Williams,] unfortunately this character has had many experiments performed on him, so consequently he has a multiple personality disorder so every time something or somebody touches this aerial on the side of his head, this character will completely change as a character/bat which Williams does this flawlessly to perfection

Character developments/Voice performances: now minus what I have just said in the previous paragraph, all the other character developments/performances are good.

This film receives: 8/10, as I have already said this film is excellent and yes likewise it does have a clear environmental message as well, but providing your children can handle the contents of this project; this is one of those films that you can sit down as a family on a Sunday afternoon and watch it altogether, I mean on top of that this project isn't long either roughly about 76 minutes and one final thing if you haven't seen this project before, this is one of those projects that you need to see one's in your lifetime.
