History YMMV / FernGullyTheLastRainforest

* When Zak makes his confession that the humans are destroying the forest and he was helping them. He states that Batty was right about humans and you can see that Batty ''really'' did not want to be.

* RootingForTheEmpire: Many watchers sympathize with [[BigBad Hexxus]], who for the record is the incarnation of pollution in a heavily {{Anvilicious}} cartoon about how life is precious and pollution evil. That's what you get for casting Creator/TimCurry as your main villain and utterly forgettable main characters otherwise (save for comic relief [[Creator/RobinWilliams Batty]]).

* DracoInLeatherPants[=/=]EvilIsCool[=/=]EvilIsSexy: How many fans feel about Hexxus. This is what happens when you make the villain more likable and entertaining than the rest of the cast. So much so that it's resulted in an accidental BrokenAesop; Hexxus is so much cooler than all the other characters he actually makes you root against the protagonists, and Toxic Love makes pollution seem so awesome it's probably responsible for spawning an entire generation of future Captain Planet villains.

* {{Narm}}: The kangaroo mother's SkywardScream in the second movie, where she drops to her knees while surrounded by flames and shouts "MY BAAAAAAABYYYYYYYY!!" The overly dramatic moment comes out of nowhere, and just looks silly with a cartoon kangaroo. Needless to say WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic had a bit of fun with it in his review.

** Crysta restoring Zack to his normal size as it's very likely they'll never meet again. This troper was in tears when it happened.

*** The most disturbing thing about the song is that what the scientific study was about [[NothingIsScarier is unclear]]. Several parts imply cosmetic chemical testing, but the wires and several other things imply [[ForTheEvulz seemingly pointless mutilation]].

* EarWorm: "Yo, the name is Batty. The logic is errat-" NO! NO! Rapping is annoying enough without Robin Williams being the rapper.
** Too bad, it's now forever embedded in your mind whether you like it or not.
** That was (and still is) the best part of the movie for this troper. Whether this says more about me or the movie is up to you.[[note]]Definitely the movie. Outdone by Robin Williams trying to rap? For shame.[[/note]]
** I don't know about you guys, but this troper can never get Toxic Love out of her head for ''weeks'' after listening to it ''once.''
** "If I'm gonna eat somebody/It might as well be-" No! No!

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Because of his insanity, whenever Batty Koda 'switches channels' he's clearly hallucinating in some form. The 'acid' parts of the "Batty Rap" could be interpreted as him seeing things, hearing voices in his head and speaking to himself.

* TheWoobie: Batty Koda, especially taking into account the experiments he went through.

** Also Pips in the second film. Supposed to save young animals from poachers? Go off and screw around human culture while the weakest of your gang and a insane (but oddly OnlySaneMan) bat go and try do it themselves. This is seen as extremely selfish of Pips but we also see that he simply can't focus on the mission and is distracted by a world he's never seen or thought of before. Admit it, [[FridgeBrilliance imagine if a human was thrown into a different culture or lifestyle that interested them.]]

* DracoInLeatherPants[=/=]EvilIsCool[=/=]EvilIsSexy: How many fans feel about Hexxus. This is what happens when you make the villain more sexy than any other member of the cast. And then cast TimCurry to play him and let him sing.
** Hexxus, just as a friendly reminder, is a sentient cloud of toxic waste who wants to [[OmnicidalManiac kill every living thing]]. What's ''wrong'' with people?

Admit it, [[FridgeBrilliance imagine if a human was thrown into a different culture or lifestyle that interested them.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The scene with the goanna singing rather erotically about eating Zak.[[hottip:*:Fun fact: The internet made this movie the TropeCodifier.]]

** That was (and still is) the best part of the movie for this troper. Whether this says more about me or the movie is up to you.[[hottip:*:Definitely the movie. Outdone by Robin Williams trying to rap? For shame.]]

* MisaimedFandom: Hexxus has a huge following. Just read the comments for "Toxic Love" on YouTube. [[{{Pantheon/Nature}} He even made it to the Pantheon]]. But this is what happens when you let TimCurry do speaking ''and'' singing parts for your villain character; he just might become an AntiRoleModel.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Okay, so the movie was a little poorly conceived on the whole... but Batty and his rap are generally considered to be a legitimately good message because, in the decade prior to the film's release, a lot of the stuff portrayed in the rap ''was done'' to animals in testing (look up the Mary Kay Corporation's history of animal testing sometime - or don't, [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel if you have a weak stomach]]).
