About this episode

The episode analyzes the film FernGully: The Last Rainforest, discussing its themes and cultural impact over time.

Helloooo friends, fiends, and wood sprites! The GoodTrash Kru is back at it taking names and killin' darlings. This week, we're feeling TOXIC as take a look at a pick from our Patreon Supporter Clayton! Clayton wanted to see how FernGully: The Last Rainforest has stood up against Father Time. With an ex-Disney animator at the helm, a selection of musical numbers, and some attempts at corporate sabotage, the film is a prime conversation starter. We discuss all of that plus activism, optimism, and probably some other isms along the way. Tune in now as we sprinkle some analysis magic on FernGully. Thanks once again to our Patreon supporters, for more info go to Patreon.com/gtm.
