Thanks for your perspective. I guess the filmmakers wanted to highlight different aspects of the forest process in a way they thought would be appealing to kids. It’s hard to strike the right balance between education and entertainment sometimes.

It’s an okay movie. “Eco” is going way too far.
Bogs, bats and crows aren’t evil; no part of nature is. This is an “eco” message by way of Hollywood. And dung beetles and maggots ‘evil’? Autumn isn’t green and neither is snow. Both pretty awesome – and definitely “eco.”
I don’t know whether the Hollywood forces behind this movie are cynical or just didn’t think it through. Some embodiment of pollution would have been a much better enemy than bogs. Nothing at all evil about bogs and swamps.
AND on top of it all – who “runs” the forest. Little, tiny PEOPLE! Not animals. Not insects. Not even the plants and trees themselves, but PEOPLE.
Sheesh.
