highly recommended

Dot and the Kangaroo is an award-winning family classic based on the beloved children's book by Ethel Pedley. Using a unique combination of animation and live-action backgrounds, Dot and the Kangaroo has delighted audiences for 25 years. It follows the adventures of Dot, a settler's young daughter who loses her way in the bush. Terrified by the dark shadows and unfamiliar sounds, she is befriended by a kangaroo. Safely tucked in the kangaroo's pouch, Dot has an adventure-packed and song-filled journey. She meets many indigenous Australian creatures (including a koala, platypus and kookaburra) along the way. With the help of her new friends, Dot finally finds her way home.

An all-time favorite

I've been a fan of the Dot movies for as long as I can remember but Dot and the Kangaroo has always been my favorite. The songs are catchy and the animation, while not the greatest (this was the 70s) is still quite good and enjoyable. I will say that most of the characters did not seem to have noticable Australian accents but the voice talent was wonderful just the same. The use of animation and live action was used quite well, too. Over all, this is a movie that is fun and highly recommended to anyone who watched it as a child or just wants something that does not have a lot of senseless violence.

Amazing

One of the most incredible animated/live action films. Even better for adults than kids. Cute and charming songs, and so terribly sad at the end.
This is the kind of movie you should show your kids, not obnoxious trash like that green ogre movie.

a classic

A classic. A little intimidating for my 3 year old at the beginning to try to explain about Dot being lost in the woods, but helped to reinforce hand-holding and such. Just loved the music and my daughter is just mystified with kangaroos now.

Gave Me Nightmares

I watched this as a kid in the 80's and at the time I was confused by some parts and mostly scared. Growing up I have wondered if I will ever see this film ever again and WOW here it is on DVD. I think I will buy it but it may not be for every child out there as this darn flic still freaks me out and I am now 30 years old.
