Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia52 puppies were used to portray Napoleon over the course of the 28-week shoot, with anywhere from three to eight being used for a single scene. This was because the puppies slept a lot, cutting down filming time, and because a puppy could only be used for three weeks before it grew too big.
- GoofsWhen Napoleon meets the "owl", it is not actually an owl. The animal is actually a Tawny Frogmouth.
- Alternate versionsTwo English versions exist: the original Australian cast and a dub with an American cast.
- ConnectionsFeatured in George Negus Tonight: Episode dated 3 May 2004 (2004)
Featured review
Creative use of limited resources.
This film has quite a vast range of beautiful landscape, ranging from an Island across from Sydney CBD, to the snowy mountains and outback.
While this movie doesn't have cg mouths or famous voice actors like many of the other animal movies out there, I found the animal interactions cute and the story touching. Even though the director could not manipulate their behaviour and interactions to his story, he did an excellent job creating a script out of the footage available.
From homicidal cats, to singing frogs and birds, I think the movie is definitely a piece of work kids and some adults could appreciate.
The reviews that rate this movie a 1 or 2 star out of 10 don't seem to provide real insight and appear to be more out of prejudice for an aspect they do not like, usually the lack of CG or annoying voice acting. Again this does not necessarily constitute to an automatic 1 out of 10.
The situations, the scenes and the way the movie comes together is great. The script written around the interactions between Muffin and the other animals is clever.
