I remember growing up with this film as a kid. I remember thinking how big the world still felt back then too in the early 2000’s. Feels like we’ve changed so much in 20 years and let’s be honest not really got the better
The messages about the seriousness, and grave consequences of deforestation, endangering animals, and destroying the planet portrayed in this movie are still relevant today.
3:16 Hexxus: Keep it moving Boys! Tony and Ralph: AHHHHHHH! Ran out of the machine Hexxus: what with them? It like they never seen a terrfring smoke monster before LOL
@@luvwhite well that plan back fired because he terrified them out and ran out and Zack turned it off anyway even so hexxus was not finished but crysta threw a seed and pips and the other fairies and elves sealed hexxus again this time for good
I remember my parents renting this on VHS at the local store when I was 6. I remember being creeped out by Hexxus, lol. Tim Curray has a sinister voice with this character, lol. The animation in it is incredible even today.
I watched this movie when I was a child. And all of the sudden at the age of 24 I remember one little snippet of this move and spent the whole day trying to find it. now this movie reminds me of a fever dream.
3:08 (Ralph) Hey, Ton', there's a little man on the windshield here. (Zac) Tony, Ralph, it's me Zac ! (Ralph) Hey...hey, Ton'... (Hexxus) Keep it moving, boys ! (Ralph and Tony) AAAAHHHH !!
I wonder if it’s because she was Magi’s successor. They had the same magic, I guess. Like the kind that only sages, leaders or protectors would have or something like that.
This movie was awesome as a kid but coming back as an adult it's even better. Tim curry and toxic love and Robin Williams with star wars,star trek and tora tora tora references are hilarious 😂
Wow I just got a flashback that this movie existed, out of no where. I just remembered the scene of the black ink/oil gliding around. I used to watch this movie all the time when I was a kid! After all these years I finally found out what it’s called. I’ve seen this movie 20-25 times!! I couldn’t even remember what the movie was called. I had to type “Disney animated movie black ink takes over jungle” then clicked on google images. Then, I saw it. A picture of Hexxus and I immediately knew that it was from that movie I used to watch. Jesus Christ I am so glad that I found this movie again. It Carries so much nostalgia for me.
I watched this until the tape wore out. I still watch it if I find it on HBO or something lol but I realized as I got older the true message behind it. You see as a kid I loved it because my family has always worked in the sawmill and logging industry. Still own and operate a mill daily but when we do log we usually cut our own land but never clear cut like this. Were not all bad and I wish they would teach people that select cutting and proper land management helps the forest. Being greedy kills it like the rain forest.... when you select cut your taking the biggest trees which is good because they eventually drain nutrients from all smaller trees trying to grow. And usually clean up and take the dead trees. Done properly you can then harvest again in about 20-25 years. We dont want to wreck the environment we want to preserve it because many families depend on this industry
That feeling when you come back to this movie for the first time since your childhood, knowing who Bette Davis is and having seen 'All About Eve' this time around...

One of Tim Curry's best roles, with his voice you can't go wrong with a villain.
Another great role of his was Dragonus from the Mighty Ducks
He's also best for Pennywise from IT from the 1990 miniseries
