Best movie of this year hands down!

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Ethel Pedley wrote the Dot series as a criticism of the humans' impact on Australia's wildlife. And so, Yoram Gross adapted them to film. "Dot and the Kangaroo" has the girl lost in the woods and befriending a marsupial who lost her baby to humans. In the process, Dot comes to develop a better connection to nature.I recommend the movie. It's got some interesting songs, and I like the mix of animation and live action. But mostly it reminds us that we can't separate ourselves from nature as much as we think. After all, you can't fight nature and win. I have a vague memory of seeing some of the Dot movies when I was little, but the characters were dubbed with American accents.PS: One scene has the kangaroo mention a creature called the bunyip. We don't see the bunyip here, but a later movie in the series focused on smugglers who are after him, and we get to meet him.

I remember watching this beautiful film when I was a little girl ... being captivated by Dot and Kangaroo's adventures in the Australian wild, and then being moved to tears at the end when they part. 20 years have now passed since my first viewing, and it still brings bittersweet tears to my eyes.

The original is great and worth picking up, but they could do a good job in doing a remake, esp the way animation is now. Nothing is like the original, but the DVD could have had a lot added to it. Hopefully kids will rediscover this classic in the meantime.

I remember seeing this movie as a child on HBO. I keep looking for a copy to rent or buy. It is the delightful story of a young girl(animated) who gets lost in the Australian outback(Live footage).She is befriended by a group of animals who help her through the outback to find her way back home. Along the way she learns a bit about the history of the outback. Filled with some catchy songs and a great story, this movie rates high among my favorite children's movies. If you and your child get a chance to see this I highly recommend it
