I was looking at childhood nostalgia on Amazon when I came across this DVD. I am glad the review includes a warning about the bunyip. I am not joking when I say this movie TERRIFIED me as a kid. I remember watching it once on tv, and I have honestly had nightmares for years. It's not supposed to be a scary movie! Why it scared me so much I can't say, but it did. It even baffled my parents. But the bunyip still pops up in my nightmares to this day (I'm 27!) Many people love it, but I just caution that young children should be with a parent when they first watch it.
February 14, 2008I 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.
October 29, 2007A 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.
May 10, 2007One 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.
January 10, 2007I'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.
