Dot and the Bunny

Skillfully combining animation and live action, this is the third in a series of on-going pre-teen movies about Dot (Robyn Moore) and her adventures, usually set in Australia's outback. This time around, the bunny is Dot's friend, but he wants to be a kangaroo so he can take the place of Joey, the lost roo that Dot is searching for.

Bunny and Dot travel through the outback, running into just about every animal imaginable except a kangaroo. Koalas, turtles, emus, and other creatures appear in their natural habitat and then change into animated personalities as they interact with Dot and Bunny.

Behind the witticisms aimed more at the parents than the pre-teen viewers lies a light-handed moral about being happy with yourself as you are.
