Viewing Notes

It’s amazing that James Cameron ripped off FERNGULLY to the degree that he did and never got called on it professionally; he just added explosions, unobtainium and a Tim Curry smoke monster. FERNGULLY itself isn’t as entertaining as I remember. It’s a bit trite and the directors tried to cover up lack of character development with Robin Williams and a horrible, scattered soundtrack.
