Her granddaughter Crysta (Samantha Mathis) is a charming, beautiful fairy that is very intrigued about the world outside of FernGully. She, along with the other fairies in the forest, does not believe humans exist, and are only in stories, until a crazy bat by the name of Batty Koda (Robin Williams), comes and tells them all of these crazy stories about how he was captured by humans and experimented on.

Yep, watch it! You can't go wrong with Robin Williams
22 September 2019 | by erinrowe-13274See all my reviews

A little known movie with a super start cast, how has this movie always flown under the radar? As an environmentally focused 80s kid this movie spoke to me in so many ways and as an adult I have realised it really was a trailblazer in environmental advocacy movies!! Totally pop it on for the kids, it doesn't feel like a dated movie and you gotta love the message behind the story!
