Trivia
In Spain it was dubbed into Spanish entirely by comedian Ángel Garó, a single-handed feat that earned him entry in the Guinness Book of Records. Includes a dedication for "Our Children and Our Children's Children". Originally supposed to be released in November 1991 but the release was delayed to avoid the competition with Disney's Beauty and the Beast. The "FernGully" forest depicted in the film was actually based on Australia's rainforests. The cartoonists who worked on the film spent time in the real rainforests to help inspire their drawings. The logo of apparel company Body Glove can be found among the handprints in the opening. Look along the bottom for one with polygons inside of it. Zak's work permit, as seen in his wallet has the following information on it: Young, Zak P.O. Box 423 Byron Bay NSW 2451 Australia HT: 5'11" WT: 175 AGE: 16 EYES: BRN Robin Williams' first role in an animated film. Production time was greatly reduced by the use of computer animation to create elements such as flocks of birds that would have taken much longer to animate traditionally.

Box office
FernGully grossed $32,710,894 worldwide, including $24,650,296 from the United States.
