In this week’s episode of The Niche Files, we dive into FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992) -- the animated classic that made a generation of kids hug trees.

Ryan gets banished to the Shadow Realm, Kass takes the host seat for the first time, and Cody debuts her very first Hear Me Out segment: yes, it’s about Hexxus. (You’ve been warned.) Along the way, we talk Robin Williams’ Batty Rap, Tim Curry’s “Toxic Love,” the VHS nostalgia of 90s classrooms, and whether this eco-fable actually gets its message across.
