The Rainforest Society

The Rainforest Society is a 1997 American animated action comedy film produced by Paramount Feature Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The first feature film from the studio, it was directed by Richard Gordon and stars the voices of David Spade, Courteney Cox, Eric Idle, Whoopi Goldberg, Chevy Chase, Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese. The film follows Leafy, a treefrog who lives in a rainforest, as he realizes that he is actually a member of the Protective Forest Society that protects rainforests from all kinds of threats by any means necessary. In his first mission, he must stop an evil organization of barn animals lead by a dastardly evil chicken from tearing down his home.

The film was released in the United States on November 26, 1997. Upon release, it was met with positive reviews from critics, many of whom praised it for its really good animation and its touching story. However, the film underperformed at the box office, only making about $103 million worldwide on its $59 million budget, most likely due to the fact that it was overshadowed by Fox Animation Studios' Anastasia, which was released around the same time.
