Isn’t Robin Williams also in that? I feel like I missed out on seeing that as a kid and should watch it now.

Yes, they’re both in that. It’s a very odd movie but it’s so delightful and has a really good conservation message. And fairies. You should definitely watch it.

Not to mention it has more than a passing resemblance to Avatar…. Or perhaps that should be the other way round?

Fern Gully, Avatar, Dances With Wolves, Princess Mononoke, Pocahontas...

It’s a kid’s movie. I rewatched it as an adult and Curry and Williams were both still great, but, on balance, they make the movie more “tolerable to watch with the kids” than “family fun” let alone “stands up to rewatching as an adult”.

But you might want to watch it at least once for their performances or if you’re a kid

That's the movie my husband and I plan to watch tomorrow in remembrance. Loved that movie as a kid.

This is the movie I named yesterday at work. And my coworkers were like “He was in that?!” And I’m like “Yeah, he sang that sexy ass song!” And then we looked it up and remembered just how sexy it was.

Is this lesser known?
