About FernGully: The Last Rainforest Perhaps overlooked for many years, FernGully: The Last Rainforest leapt back into people's minds when Avatar was released in 2009 as the plot from Avatar is strikingly similar to this G-rated film from the Captain Planet days. In this animated tale, a fairy named Crysta lives in FernGully, an Australian rainforest, and lives under the impression humans are extinct. When a logging company looks to slash and burn her home, she realizes humans are both very alive and very dangerous. She accidentally shrinks a boy named Zak down to her size, and he joins in the fight to save FernGully from the logging company and an evil, pollution-loving entity named Hexxus. About Sugar Bomb: Sugar Bomb is an instrumental groove jazz trio formed in 2023 in Asheville, NC. Known for their dynamic range in taste and performance, they are often described as modern, playful, and refreshing. The trio consisting of Jacob Bruner (keyboards) , Eli Kahn (bass/guitar) , and Joe Enright (drums) draw from a wide range of influences spanning classical and jazz to fusion, hip hop, and electronic music. Often categorized as jazz for simplicity's sake and perhaps highlighting their love for improvisation, Sugar Bomb creates a genre-defying kaleidoscope of musical expression through sensitive, yet high-energy performance and composition. Co-presented by the Teddy Ebersol Endowment for Excellence in the Performing Arts.
