For the past few weeks, I’ve found myself watching my old VHS movies, especially movies that I watched when I was a little girl. While doing this, I have found some great underrated films that tend to get lost in between all the princesses, Pixar animated films, and the newest live-action remakes.

They are also a great source of fashion inspiration.

So for my next few posts, I’ll choose one of these underrated movies each week and give you a quick recap of the film and its production, a rundown of each character’s style, and my own real-life recreation of each look.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve covered Disney’s The Rescuers, Oliver & Company and 101 Dalmatians. This week, let’s give Disney a rest and focus on the Non-Disney animated film, FernGully: The Last Rainforest.

Read on for my FernGully fashion guide!

Released in 1992, FernGully: The Last Rainforest was created by Kroyer Studios and distributed by 20^th Century Fox. Because Fox was its distributor, FernGully is often mistaken for a Don Bluth film (creator of Anastasia), which is false.

The film features quite a few stars, including Christian Slater as Pips, Tim Curry as Hexxus, and Robin Williams as Batty Koda.

FernGully has an interesting part to play in regards to Robin Williams and Disney. This was one of two animated films featuring Robin Williams released in 1992, the other one being the far more successful Aladdin. In spite of this, Williams had signed on FernGully before he signed on Aladdin and refused to leave FernGully, which caused Disney to try and sabotage the smaller film for months.

Also, a condition of Robin voicing the Genie was that his voice could not be used to sell toys or for marketing. This happened anyway with FernGully, leading to a very public feud between Williams and Disney that lasted until the end of the decade.
