Washington Post Desson Thomson
FernGully is neither weighty nor whiny. It sings its message unobtrusively through -- and for -- the trees. And most importantly, it never forgets to be delightful, for children and their moviegoing guardians.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
The story tells a useful lesson, the jungle inhabitants are amusing, and although the movie is not a masterpiece it's pleasant to watch for its humor and sweetness.

Washington Post Hal Hinson
An animated feature with political agenda -- a didactic cartoon. But that doesn't interfere with its being a whopping good time.

FernGully is surprisingly courageous in its politics and adventurous in its stylistic choices.

FernGully -- The Last Rainforest is pretty much what you'd expect, only better. It's an animated feature aimed straight at kids and bulging with environmental consciousness, well made and just scary enough to get its point across. [10 Apr 1992, p.G5]

Time Out
Aimed squarely at the under-12s, it won't displease most parents, if only for the welcome absence of marketable accessories.

Los Angeles Times Charles Solomon
With its bright colors, upbeat rock soundtrack and strong ecological message, FernGully...The Last Rainforest should delight children and amuse their older siblings and parents.

Variety
Drawn in brilliantly verdant colors immediately inviting the viewer into a special world, FernGully is certainly simple enough for any youngster to understand, yet is sufficiently hip around the edges to contain the sap.

TV Guide Magazine
Widely noted as a politically correct animated feature, FernGully is entertaining enough to make its occasionally overstated message palatable.

Austin Chronicle
Just when you thought you'd been ecologized to death, here comes another preachy-teachy, green cartoon. But wait, this is no Captain Planet of the big screen. This is no wooden caricature spouting he-man environmentalism. This is funny, pretty, touching, scary, magical stuff.
