A big howdy-do to all Ferngully fans!
I'm eager to come up & shake all your hands!
For I feel at home in this loverly land,
Surrounded by people...who are as fond of the movie as I am!
It's nice to meet you. I'm GMDlover around here, but you can call me The Mouse Avenger or Mousie or Anastasia or Annie...It doesn't matter, really. :)
All right, so last night, I discovered this community (did a bit of peeking round on Inkstain Agency's journal, tee-hee!) & joined. But this is the first day I've actually posted something! Hooray for me! ^_^
But...*clears throat* Anyway, let me start off by saying that Ferngully has been one of my favorite childhood films since I was around, oh, say...4 or 5. It has never ceased to impress me with its beautiful animation, ear-pleasing songs, colorful characters...& its environmental message. I'm a sucker for tree-hugging movies, go figure! XD But then again, it's always been a movie message that I particularly take to heart...
If you're interested to know, as far as my particular 'favorites' concerning the movie go, my fave characters include Crysta, Zak, & Batty Koda (Hexxus is an awesome villain, too; makes me wish he got more screen time). My favorite parts include the beginning scenes, the climax & ending scene, the "Batty Rap" sequence, the Blue Grotto scene, the scene with the Goanna, & the scene where everyone's grooving in the "Land Of 1,000 Dances"! ^_^ Oh, & my favorite songs include "A Dream Worth Keeping", "Batty Rap" (duh!), "Toxic Love" (Hexxus' singing voice is schmexy!), "Land Of 1,000 Dances", "If I'm Gonna Eat Somebody"...OK, they're all my favorite songs! XD
I own the original novel & a couple of tie-in books, as well as the Family Fun Edition of the DVD (which is fantastic!), though I hope to find more Ferngully goodies on eBay! ^_^ The sequel I haven't bought yet, but I plan to--yes, I like the sequel. Actually, I have an unusual tendency to like &/or love any & every animated or live-action sequel, remake, midquel, or original movie that stinks in the eyes of the world! I'm a crappy-film freak, & I love it! ^_^ But, anyway...
In conclusion, I've begun making fanart & writing fanfiction for Ferngully, as well (but I haven't finished any to upload online yet). I've started my ongoing line of Ferngully fanart with a series of crossover pictures--in which the characters of "Ferngully" & "A Clockwork Orange" are transported into each others' worlds! Oh, the hilarity that will ensue! XD I also plan on writing my first two Ferngully fanfiction stories soon, both of which feature my original character Damon The Black Fairy. Who is Damon, you're probably wondering? You'll find out... ;-)
And now, ladies & gentlefairies, my introduction...is finished! *bows grandly & then takes flight again, before crashing into the wall & sliding down to the floor* Well, not quite. ^^;;
