Summary: The Return of Dot!
Review: After several years of looking for Dot, I've found her again in the DVD edition. As a child, the Bunyip from the movie always terrified me, and I had nightmares about the thing as recently as five years ago! But I hadn't seen the movie in 20 years, and just had to satisfy my curiosity... was it really that scary?To be honest, this is a creepy film. The soft music intended as a lullabye comes across as a bit disturbing. The Bunyip scene is, indeed, scary. The film even shows how the Bunyip can appear in anything... a fire, a cave. It's basically a quick lesson on how children can make anything look like a monster in his/her head! "The Bunyip's going to get you!" Most disturbing, though, would have to be the end. I won't kill the conclusion for you, but a read through the actual book by Ethel Pedley would give you a more satisfying, less mystifying end. (It's available for free online at Project Gutenberg) I'm torn about the film. Overall, I enjoyed it for its nostalgia, and *some* of the music is cute and catchy. I like it for what it is! I couldn't recommend it for a young child, though... it's good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.

Summary: A classic movie
Review: At the age of 22 right now, I can still say Dot and the Kangaroo is one of my favorite movies. This movie is about an Australian girl who becomes lost in the woods and befriends a red kangaroo that helps her find her way home. The characters are wonderful and the story is one that will leave a lasting imprint within you. The music and songs are beautiful. This is a movie that both young and old will enjoy.

Summary: Childhood Revisited!
Review: Dot and the Kangaroo is AWESOME!! and that it the only word I can think of to describe it. This should be in everyone's dvd library. I just got mine yesterday and have watched it 3 or 4 times since. It just gets better and better every time!
The songs in the film are so awesome. I had forgotten about "Clickety Click" and the duck song, "All we ever do all day is quack"
This took me back to when I saw this film on HBO years and years ago! Highly recommended!

Summary: Not as good as I remember it...
Review: Granted it's been a few years since I've last watched it & I'm a little older now. The movie is still great for kids though & for anyone who wants to recapture a bit of their youth. All the songs tend to get a little annoying since every new character has to break into song.

Summary: Dot and The Kangaroo
Review: I agree with Brandon in VA and Deborah in NV!!
I've been looking for this movie for so long. Every now and again, I'll think about this movie and think about the heartbreak. I'm planning on ordering it but from memory, it's a good transition (as in growing up) movie for the elementary school age. I remember watching the movie somewhere in the 1st-4th grade range. The Last Unicorn movie also reminds me of the heartbreak of breaking ties.
I really enjoyed this movie growing up, even if it was sad at the ending. I've always had a special bond with animals, so it was sad for me (not to diss my family!). Wasn't the 80's a great time to be a kid?!

Summary: Dot and the Kangeroo
Review: I am so glad they put this movie on DVD. I have an old beta tape of it but our beta recorder is history. About five years ago I called every video store in town and one small one had it to rent. This is good story about friendship and I love how they have a real life nature background. Awesome selection.

Summary: Reunited With My Favorite Childhood Memory At Last
Review: I am so happy that I found this video! It has always been my favorite video when I was a child. Now, I'm a mother of four, and my kids love it also. Even though the animation is "old school" it still has a great story-line, and catchy songs. I find myself singing the Bunyap song all of the time now, and also riding in the pouch of a red kangaroo!!!
