FAI Films was an Australian film production company known for the 1992 animated film FernGully: The Last Rainforest.

Name

The studio was owned by the Australian company Fire and All Risks Insurance (later FAI Insurance), founded by Lawrence Adler.[1] Both companies shared the FAI "running man" logo.

Productions

The company produced only one theatrical release, FernGully: The Last Rainforest in 1992, and a direct-to-video sequel, FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue, in 1998.

Demise

In 1998, FAI Insurance was acquired by HIH Insurance, which collapsed in March 2001.[2] In June 2012, administrators for HIH placed advertisements trying to sell the rights to both films.[3] On November 11, 2021 Shout! Factory announced a deal with Machine Media Advisors, stated to be the owner of the rights to FernGully, for worldwide distribution rights to the first film.[4]
