The Magic of a Single Seed: A Climate Review of FernGully

FernGully: The Last Rainforest, is a 1992 animated fantasy film and part of the environmental film canon. The story takes place in the magical world of FernGully, where fairies and animals are guardians of the forest. Curious fairy Christer has accidentally shrunk a human logger, and is on a quest to protect the forest from a resurgent fossil fuel driven being called Hexus. Action aside, it’s also a banger musical! In this Climate Review episode, Kim and Izzie talk through the main plot beats. In between gusts of nostalgia, they discuss how FernGully lands today as a communication piece, their great love for Robin Williams, and what can be said of the film's theory of change. Does, indeed, the power to change does rest in the magic of a single seed?Follow Climate Decoded on Instagram @climate_decoded and LinkedInRead the transcript and find resources mentioned in the episode at the Climate Decoded website: https://climatedecoded.com/Support the podcast by buying us a coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/climatedecoded Hosted on Acast.
