This movie made me go 'green' as a child

I watched this movie quite a few times as a little girl in rural Minnesota.

I didn't even understand pollution, deforestation, or recycling fully. It wasn't taught in school, and none of the adults I knew cared about protecting our planet. I just knew that I wanted to do my best to not make things worse.

Fast forward 2 decades, and I am happy to live in Boulder County Colorado, where it is common, and even expected to be "green"

On a side note, I adore Batty. Robin Williams is greatly missed :(

This was a good respect nature film. I never liked Once Upon A Forest.

Metallica and Iron Maiden fan who is also a Brony.

I'm re-watching the movie now and I just came on here to say the exact same thing! I was 10 when it first came out, but it also spoke to me in some way. Now I am proud to say that i am officially an environmental activist and eco-warrior!!! Isn't it amazing how what we watch as a child influences our overall personalities?

I am glad to see some of these comments. I just rewatched it and wonder if the film helped the cause. That some people went green because of it is wonderful.
