Disturbing!

Alright, I recently stumbled upon this movie about 1-2 months ago and I am surprised about how many people on here have commented about the scene, that I'm guessing happens right after the climax of Fern Gully.

I didn't find anything else disturbing in the movie or about Hexxus asides from that part where he does comes back out of the machine as a huge black oil coated skeleton with that red colored glowing light inside him and the scary music and dark sky background.
But I have to admit, it did give me some big temporary nightmares when I first saw this movie a little over 10 years ago and several times after, and it still makes things unpleasant for me even seeing it again nowadays.

Yet, I do see the intent of the people who worked to make this movie possible back over there in Australia. They more than likely used this to demonstrate the outlying results of man's doings to nature. So I read that some of the people who watched this movie were changed on the view of nature and stuff after seeing this. At least for a short while after.

But all in all, this is still a great movie. Not necessarily all because of the environmental things that are shown in the movie, but the story itself and things that happen to the characters in the movie.

Out of all other cartoon/traditionally animated movies I have seen, I still see this one as the most unpleasantly satisfying one to date. No sadness, nastiness, or violence, etc.

It only comes from the images shown in Fern Gully.

Haha that's funny because you weren't the only one! When I was a little girl, Hexxus-skeleton scared me so bad that I'd run out of the room and not come back until "Crysta made him go away" every time I watched this movie!! XDD

Hexxus-skeleton was probably the scariest thing in an animated children's film...next to the Nightmare King from Little Nemo in Slumberland....although Satan from Fantasia is undoubtly scarier than both of them.

HE MADE ME CRYYYY.

lol

I purchased it a few days ago and I just rewatched it tonight and I forgot how disturbing parts are. The soundtrack is really bizzare and I think Hexxus is all sorts of creepy even when he the weird black tree.
I also think the Kamodo dragon's song is unsettling not to mention Batty's rap is actually disorientating and a bit intense for a kids movie with fairies in it.
I text my friend during the moving saying I dont remember it being as scary as this and she responded saying she had recently rewatched it and felt the same. Apparently we both repressed all the creepy parts.

I just re-watched this movie for the first time since I was ten with a friend and we were laughing throughout because of how frightening this movie would be if it were 3D. There are several scenes that would scare the piss out of a grown man, let alone a small child. Watch the movie again with that in mind and you'll have a laugh.
