Description:
All is will in FernGully until the day a group of humans comes in and captures three baby animals under Crysta's care. Now the babies' only hope is for Pips, Batty and the Beetle Boys to venture into the great unknown - the town where the humans live. With the help of a young girl named Budgie and her Grandpa, the small yet heroic rescuers embark on the ultimate adventure to save their friends before they are smuggled away forever.
Amazon.com:
Life in FernGully, a 1,000-year-old rainforest, is idyllic for the woodland animals and two fairies named Crysta and Pips. Still, Pips longs to see the world beyond the forest. When two human poachers steal three baby animals under Crysta's care, Pips is quick to declare his intention to travel to 'town' and rescue the stolen animals. A bat (appropriately named Batty) offers much doom-and-gloom advice against the trip, but eventually Pips and his band of Beetle Boys head to town with Batty in the lead. Crysta soon finds the poacher's abandoned dog and follows her friends to town in the hopes of returning the dog to his home. The group's first glimpses of town show a grimy dump and a sewer pipe dumping refuse into a local body of water. A carnival changes their perspective, offers a chance meeting with a young clown-in-training named Budgie, and distracts the group from their mission. Batty and the youngest Beetle Boy eventually locate the stolen animals, and, with help from the rest of the group, battle the evil poachers to win the animals' freedom. This 73-minute, animated musical is entertaining but somewhat lacking in excitement and drive. The film also lacks Robin Williams, who voiced Batty in the first film. The film's message comes across crystal clear--uncaring humans are destroying the rainforests without regard for the larger consequences of their actions. (Ages 3 to 8) --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - very rewarding to watch
I first bought this for my son when he was little. He watch the first
fern gully so many times and it was his favorite. When I found out there
was a fern gully 2 magical kingdom I bought it for him and even though
he is older now he still liked it and found it as enjoyable as the first
one. I am glad I did it for him and he likes it.
Rating:  - Good but not great
It wasn't as good as theh original but it was still good for my daughter. It was just not as entertaining for grown ups.
Rating: - Interesting to say the least
Ferngully 2 is an insult to the original, however I am being generous in giving it three stars because it is a good family film. I'm sure little kids will love the furry little animals that it seems to revolve around, and it has some good morals for your kids about believing in yourself and helping those in need...if that's all you look for when buying your movies.
I have many gripes about this movie, and I'm not sure where to begin. If you have seen and cherish the first movie, well, ... Read More
Rating:  - Not as good as the original.
The original was a classic. If you really like the original then get this it's a good one for the collection.
Rating: - Sorry :(
Ferngully 1 is classic. This movie was such a dissappointment to me. Some little animals get kidnapped from Ferngully so Crysta's friends go to human town to find them. the film was just corny and not interesting and the way that truck rolled down the hill in one of the scenes had me rolling my eyes- i know it's a cartoon but come on!!
