Does anyone remember a cartoon show that had a girl in austrailia going from real life into a cartoon world...

Question

with kangaroos etc, I vaguely remeber it from when I was eight, but I can't remeber the name of it.

Answer 1

The movie is called Dot and the Kangaroo it was made in 1977 and it is a great movie with a beautiful story I loved this movie as a kid. Very sad ending though.

It written in 1899, is a children's book by Ethel C. Pedley about a little girl named Dot who gets lost in the Australian outback and is eventually befriended by a kangaroo and several other marsupials.

The book was turned into a movie in 1977 that featured a spectacular combination of animation and live-action. Another eight movies in the series were made by the Yoram Gross studios by 1994. The theme behind many of the films in the Dot series is the negative impact of humanity on animal life in nature.

A DVD version of the film was released on October 30, 2001.

The othe movies are:
1981 - Around the World with Dot
1984 - Dot and the Bunny
1985 - Dot and the Koala
1986 - Dot and Keeto
1986 - Dot and the Whale
1987 - Dot and the Smugglers
1987 - Dot Goes to Hollywood
1994 - Dot in Space
though none were as good as Dot and the Kangaroo

Hope this helps you.
