Customer Reviews of Dot and The Kangaroo
The Return of Dot! 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.
Dot and the Kangaroo is AMAZING!
Though I haven't seen this movie since the days when it was on Beta, I know that I will absolutely love it ten times more now that it's on DVD. I was two years old when the film was released and to this day, it remains one of my favorites. It's a movie I watched every day for three years straight and I can't wait to see it again!
Childhood Revisited!
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!
