Originally an Australian project, FernGully was lost to American producers when the $20M budget could not be raised locally. When FernGully came out, we were in the midst of a mini-environmental revolution--biodegradable diapers, fancy reusable bags at the grocery store, the banishment of styrofoam from McDonald's, etc. etc. In the grand scheme of things it was barely a blip on the social-awareness radar, but what it did do for FernGully was provide it with many people who wanted to get in on its environmental act--particularly in the music department. This film is packed with a variety of environmentally-conscious tunes from Sheena Easton, Raffi, Tone-Loc, Elton John and others.
