It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I may be 23 years old, but as an animation enthusiast I could not resist watching this animated movie from a time of Disney monopoly on animated features. I liked most of the movie, the background animation was beautiful, the voice acting was well done and the ending offered a heart-warming pay-off of the rather grim set-up. Our main characters are these four animal kids called furlings of whom one is poisoned by a gas leaked from a crashed truck. The three remaining furlings must then go out on a mission to find some herbs to cure her. The three furlings are not overly complex characters, but relatable personalities like a confident leader-type, one who is always scared and one who does more than thinks. It's not bad for a kids' film and I did not find them completely one-dimensional, because they learn throughout the movie. The musical score by James Horner was pleasant and added so much to each scene. The mood was set very well and along with the backgrounds it was beautiful. The songs was a mixed back to me. "Please Wake Up" was a heart-felt and very moving song, but the next song in the movie, "He's Gone/He's Back, was an odd song sung by characters I really don't know who is. It just seemed to come out of nowhere and slow the pace down. That was my only complaint about it, and therefore I have saved my favorite part for last. Once Upon a Forest has a very quick but one of the best twists on how Man is portrayed. I won't spoil it, but it was a delight to watch. A good kids' movie with a lot of heart. I'll recommend it to any family with kids.
This movie is for kids and for adults...I enjoyed this movie just like any other recent cartoon or so called animated movies. In simple words "Great entertaining" movie.I had a doubt in my mind before i play this movie just because the year it was released and seems like very much childish movie but this movie has got something for everyone. Simple charterers and simple story just with these things the movie done the best it could. I am happy that I bought DVD of this movie..All money is worth :) Don't think twice to rent this movie or download, u won't be disappointed.My IMDb Rating : 6/10Suitable for : PGCheers Unitedcba @Movie is my life@
Once Upon A Forest is a touching film. Its strong emotions and sincere message make it as captivating for both children and adults. The central story is one of love. Three children venture into a frightening world to save one whose life has only begun. It all takes place in a world endangered, setting the stage for an environmental message - one that avoids demonizing mankind. There's even a bit of social commentary near the end. The music helps to heighten the mood. "Please Wake Up" and the closer "Once Upon A Time With Me" are simply beautiful, even if they are hinted at a bit too much. "Please Wake Up" is sung by the aging Cornelius early in the film, and Michael Crawford's emotional performance, truly on the verge of tears, immortalizes it with such sincerity. The film's only real flaw is its length. At the very least, the whole day skipped when the furlings set out on their journey could have been touched on. I could nitpick with small problems, but I won't. It's rare that a children's animated film has such heart. It's also rare that such a film dares to defy the "happy ending at all costs" attitude.
i first saw this movie when i was about 9 yrs old. i fell in love. it captured my imagination and because of it i respect my environment. every child should see this movie. little skunk, Michelle, captured my heart when she woke up and didn't know what was going on. the other "furlings" were so courageous and brave for her and taught my brothers and i how to act to our friends. also, the children who watch this movie will learn about how human beings are killing the animals with poison. this movie and the movie "fern gully" both show kids how to respect their environment. if i had kids, i would want them to watch these kinds of movies over other titles out there.
