* Related to the above, how practical was the Leveler, exactly? Even from the purely pragmatic perspective of someone running a logging company, it's hard to picture how such a massive, cumbersome machine could do the job more efficiently than a fleet of bulldozers and feller-bunchers. And that's not even getting into the issue of transporting the thing from one job site to another.

*** Not the first time dark things were put into a family film. Animal testing is often pointlessly cruel. Experiments are carried out to test things or to find cures, but often don’t amount to anything except needless suffering of animals and dead-end research. Science doesn’t need many reasons to experiment. Doesn’t matter if it leads to anything or not. The scientific process requires vast experimentation after all. If someday a cure for cancer could be discovered at the expensive of millions of animals, even if many experiments don’t lead anywhere, and since humans didn’t have to be tested on, it’s worth it in some eyes. No matter how cruel.

*** If Hexxus is considered a metaphor for global warming then everything fits naturally into place. The threat of massive disruption to the ecosystem will always be there, but the fairies exist to combat and thus balance it. It's the human influence of releasing Hexxus before he would normally break free (remember the Magi is teaching Crysta of him for a reason even if her opinion is that it's an even unlikely to occur again) and giving him a massive power boost with their pollution and deforestation.
