@@ericdevries3974 That's crazy you commented on this because I was literally thinking about this scene for the first time in two years yesterday. Couldn't remember what the movie was called. Thank you.
I remember this 1993 British-American animated film. I used to watch it on the VHS when I was a tot. It might be one of the most underrated animated films of all time. I still like it though.
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Now I’m 25 with a toddler and rewatching this scene with Michelle almost dying from the gas and trying to find her parents brings me to tears. She reminds me of my little daughter.
I have always noticed that Abigail is the bravest character in this, she rescues Michelle from the house filled with dangerous gas and she scares an owl with a magnifying glass. She is a mighty mouse.
I'm a 2010 kid, but my family has a lot of VHS tapes and this movie was one of my absolute favorites when I was little. Looking back, I think this may be what inspired my horror obsession
2:07 always kills me , because both my parents are dead , my mom died from cancer and my dad died from a sudden heart attack. The memories won’t go away
@@eleanorhogan8643 I´m 41 years old but I live in Panama far from USA and Once Upon A Forest is a Worldwide known animated movie. USA films and animated cartoons are a Worldwide pretty known productions. Fern Gully (1992) is another of the best animated films ever done.
you are three years older then me... My sister chose this at the then so called Video Stores :P (Kids these days have no idea what a video store is :D LOL). I enjoyed it, years latter watched it when it was on a streaming service
Memories tend to warp with time, but it is shocking to me how terrifying this still is to me as an adult. The music, the intensity of the scene from a hidden, invisible killer. A force that can't be reasoned with, and only takes. Carbon monoxide or sulfuric gas is frightening in that regard. You don't know it's there until you already feel the effects. And by then, it's over.
I’m 31 years old and I will not forget watching this when I was a kid. like the gas in this one is just yeah disturbing as hell. the prime example of death what I can do especially what happened to Michelle’s Parents I mean yeah I did not expect to see them dead. I assumed they were just sleeping but nope they were dead. It’s hard to pretend that when you’re young. But at the very least I’ll say this we can all agree. It’s a good thing despite Abigail being reckless from times we’re grateful she did not listen to Cornelius. I mean yeah for once I’m glad you didn’t listen to me I mean honestly yeah. If I was in her situation, if anyone I knew was in a situation like this, I would’ve done anything in my power to go and save their lives. Waiting on help there’s no time for that. Still yeah if I were in her shoes yeah I would do it all over again without hesitation, I would Abigail definitely is the perfect definition heroine
We are the same age. I loved this movie as a child. It's a shame it doesn't get the same attention as other 90s animated films. Abigail was my favourite character.
Cornelius: Abigail, your performance out there could’ve cost us our lives. And as for the rest of you, in all my years I’ve never had the more undisciplined furlings.
I didn't really grow up with this movie, never watched it from start to finish, but I distinctly remember seeing this scene very briefly and I knew instantly that her parents were almost certainly dead.
Questions: 1. How did the gas get into the tree? The truck fell off the side of the road, nowhere near the tree. 2. How did Cornelius know about the gas. 3. How did Abigail survive, but not her parents?
Answers 1.The gas tank broke so the gas spread everywhere. 2.Cornelius knew about it because the same thing happened to his parents when he was Michelle's age. 3.(I think you mean Michelle, Abigail is the mouse, Michelle is the little badger cub) I think her parents died because they were in the house and could not escape in time therefore the fumes knocked them out and killed them but Michelle has only been in there for a second so she survived.
@@eleanorhogan8643 And how did it stay inside the tree while the rest of the gas disappeared? And why did the parents die? Couldn’t they have seen the gas coming or have been given a warning by the other creatures?
@@yerielurena1873 Hmmm a bit of a plot hole with the gas staying inside the tree but I do think Michelle's parents could have been knocked out with the gas therefore not being able to escape, it probably took them by surprise.
2:17 POV: you check bro’s bathroom to see if he is okay only to see that he is not. (He had the biggest mudslide after he had the triple XXXXXL burrito.)
This was definitely a little dark for a kids film…but then again there was Lion King…actually the just the 90’s in general. Maybe that’s why I need help😂
Anyone who saw this as a kid grew up with tough skin. Our generation had some dark cartoons so we didn't get easily triggered. Now god forbid someone white voices a dark skin character, everyone freaks out and depends they get canceled.
Everything about it is consistent with chlorine. Michelle's apparent symptoms are respiratory distress and conjunctivitis--typical aftereffects of chlorine exposure. The gas itself is yellowish-green in color and hangs in thick clouds, just like chlorine; and t even seems to roll downhill and collect in pockets as we saw in Michelle's home. Furthermore, Cornelius recognizes this gas. He's seen it before--or, perhaps, smelled it before. Chlorine has a very distinctive smell that can be picked up at ridiculously low quantities by most animals. How does he recognize it? Chlorine is really easy to make. Cheap people use it for pest control all the time. We never did find out what became of his parents, you'll recall. It isn't beyond imagining that the trap at the front door was to keep them from getting out while some household chemicals were dumped in through the back door. Kind of a nastier version of smoking out foxes. What probably happened was that Truck Guy was hauling a tank of liquid chlorine for some chemical plant or factory when he rolled over. Maybe the Yellow Dragons just finished building whatever place he's delivering to before they moved to their new nest, and his shipment was intended to start off the very first river of pollution. tl;dr it's chlorine gas and Michelle's life is going to suck because you don't just eat some plants and get better from that.
Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
