Creepy, but beautiful film.
7 March 2008
As if the sounds and colours of the Australian bush aren't scary enough, the creepy rough animation over the old live action footage in the makes this one of those kids films that weird you out when you're not sure why.

I guess it's similar to Watership Down in it's beauty. As an adult watching, it's really quite a scary film, but when you're a child you simply don't pick up on what's so creepy about it.

I'm not sure that this film is worth watching unless you really love old, rough animated films of it's style. It's one of those movies that I watched all the time as a kid, and I still love it and get it out occasionally, but would someone who hadn't grown up with it understand? I'm not sure.

Dot is very annoying and her other adventures are simply crap (except, the gay mosquito in Dot and the Keeto still cracks me up.) I'm in love with the animation and sound of this film more than anything.
