A little girl and a delusional rabbit search Australia for a missing kangaroo joey, stopping to ask EVERY. SINGLE. ANIMAL. that they run across. Seemingly interminable film might keep less-discerning 5-year-olds quiet for a bit, but most kids will have something better to do than watch this semi-animated musical. It’s educational in the least-interesting way possible, but I did learn that koalas don’t drink water; they get all of the water they need from the leaves they eat. Also, watching a kangaroo being born is pretty freakin’ icky.

"My daughter is now 20 and one of most endearing memories of her chilhood include Dot and the Red Kangaroo. I'm sure it was the first movie that caused her to cry. She was 3 years old. My husband and I enjoyed it too."
Dot and the Kangaroo

"I think Dot and the Kangaroo is one of the best movies made for children. I remember watching this movie as a child and I can still remember it as an adult. I've been looking everywhere for this movie. Thank you!"
NOT Dot and the Kangaroo

"This is not the movie "Dot and the Kangaroo" as another review might lead one to believe (like me!). That movie only seems to be available via auction. This is the sequel and gets four stars because it wasn't what we thought it would be. It does have great non-cartoon scenery mixed with the images."
This is a great educational video for kids of all ages

"This is a great video that parents will enjoy as much as their children. I am now 21 and used to watch this when I was very little. I still love it. It combines real life with animation and is also very educational. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for something different for their kids to watch."
