just shown this to my 12 year old son.he thought it was funny.sure brought back memories of when i watched it many years ago.i could still remember the chorus.would love to get a copy of this film because not only is it fun but its educational.
just played this too my 12 year old.he thought it was funny.sure brought back memories of when i watched it many years ago.would like to get hold of a copy of the whole film because its not only fun but educational.
one of the longest walking scenes EVER, followed by one of the best songs EVER teaching us all that patience is a virtue and comes with it's own rewards...
i think he was mimiking dots voice when he was talking...
and as for the water, it had only recently rained so the water hadn't fully soaked into the ground, but yeah it's still a bit odd.
Wow! I haven't seen or heard this since I was a child in the 70's! But I still remembered the song and learned so much about Australia from it. What I found amazing too is the combo of cartoons in a real woods background. Also the soft motherly voice of the kangaroo. Very sweet story!
I was always really mad at Dot and blamed her for hurting the kangaroo. Because she wanted to watch the Aboriginal ritual and then screamed and made the dingoes chase after them. And then she was too heavy for the kangaroo and gah!! Oh god. I'm up to the last bit. Do I dare watch it and stay mopey for days?
Agreed that yes the birds I noticed now in my older years matches the bunyip in voice, and coloring. Truely a nice capture of Alstralain legend, if true. For those type of birds are quite well known for being categorized at high decibles. In deed I feel reminded of why this movie must have touched me more than i realized... 8) What a wonderful movie to have seem in my childhood. Us children born late seventties and early eighties were blessed with great cartoons! Let's not forget unico ! 8)
oh I remember this... I remember the loud birds that utimatly led her home... Clickity click... whaail!!!! I am that bird... I have something to say... this movie moves me!!!! Thankyou for posting it!!! The whole Workd neeeeeeds to see this movie!!! A Thing of my childhood that I knew about!!!
@bexlovesashley yea, strong movie for a kid, as i saw it ...it was llike my cinematic intro to EXistencialism, very very Melancolikal, how u call this mix bbetwen actual footag and cartoon?] very original indeed

The pulling back the dirt and suddenly water appears thing is weird. They're near the edge of a cliff, right? The water table would be pretty damn low beneath them.
The two ducks also have singing voices completely different from their speaking voices. LOL
Thanks for putting this film up - loved watching it again.
As for the different voices I've read that Ross Higgins voiced Willie Wagtail, and I think in the singing he does sound sort of like Ted Bulpitt, and it does credit (on the opening credits) Ross under speaking voices and songs. I'm sure I've read somewhere before that Ross can do lots of different voices so maybe it was just easier singing with a more normal voice?
I watched this movie as a child and it had a huge impact on me! Now as an adult, I found it on e-bay and I had my own children watch it! I still cried at the end, I think the ending was so sad, I think that kangaroo should have at least stayed until Dot came back with her parents, and the music is so sad too!
chances are that the willywagtail had two different voices -- a singing one and an acting one. either that, or the voice actor was very good at changing voices altogether.
Clickity Click! Gotta love the songs here. Ah the memories. I forgot how surprisingly heart felt this film was. Dot and the Kangaroo really do have a strong bond, no matter what age it gets ya right in the old ticker.
You don't have it? As the WWE superstar Farooq would say "DAMN"! Oh well. I have Dot and the Bunyib/smugglers & santa claus so I can wait a bit longer!
And NO I can't burn post them cause I don't know how & I don't want to get in trouble with the law!
He kinda looks like a wombat with with 2 teeth from the top of his mouth. If you wanna see it type Dot and the smugglers on Google image search. I mainly got them cause of the 2 kangaroos Basher & Bruiser. I did fan art of them.
Clickity click. :D

I agree. The scene with Dot nursing Kangaroo back to health is so very pretty, and the music is so pretty. All happy and sad all at once.
