With its bright colors, upbeat rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack and strong ecological message, the 1992 animated film FernGully ... The Last Rain Forest (KTTV Sunday at 7:30 p.m.) should delight children and amuse their older siblings and parents. Set in an unspoiled tract of Australian rain forest guarded by a tribe of tiny fairies, the film is based on a series of children’s stories by Diane Young.

The light comic wit of the 1990 Quick Change (CBS Tuesday at 8 p.m.) has a lovely premise: a trio of disillusioned New Yorkers--a city planner (Bill Murray), his sweetheart (Geena Davis) and Murray’s goofy longtime friend (Randy Quaid)--execute a brilliantly clever bank holdup. The loot: $1 million. Now all they have to do to be home free is to get out of New York. With the city presented as an urban obstacle course of unmarked streets, wayward subway entrances and unfriendly natives, that proves to be easier said than done.

Without the stunningly whimsical turtle suits supplied by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the 1991 Teenage Mutant Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (KTTV Monday at 8 p.m.), like its predecessor, might just look like it sounds, which is pretty tacky. It takes up where the original left off, reintroducing us to Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello and their rat mentor, Splinter. With villains apparently in short supply, the movie resuscitates the monster-mobster of the previous movie, the infamous Shredder.

With his 1992 City of Joy (KCOP Monday at 8 p.m., again on Friday at 2:30 a.m.), set in Calcutta, Roland Joffe seems under the delusion that you can lure in the multitudes with an obvious plot and a hot star while educating them about India’s downtrodden masses. Patrick Swayze, though miscast, is game as a surgeon who by chance meets a poor Indian family and winds up working at a public clinic.

In the 1978 Same Time, Next Year (KTLA Thursday at 8 p.m.) adulterous Alan Alda sneaks off with an also-married Ellen Burstyn for an affair that lasts only a weekend each year but endures for a quarter-century. This is an obvious theater piece, but as adapted by Bernard Slade from his play and directed by Robert Mulligan, it has warmth and skill.

Michael Mann’s riveting 1986 Manhunter (KCOP Saturday at 8 p.m.) offers an earlier incarnation of everybody’s favorite cannibal--this time played by Brian Cox.
