Movie Reviews of Dot and the Kangaroo
Movie Review: Great movie. But could have been better...
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought that this was a great movie... I watched it 3 times last night and cried every time... Could have been much better if it was a restored print. Even having some background on how the movie was actually done would have been neat to see. I thought that this movie was a brakthrough film long before Roger Rabbit. It was like Pete's Dragon in a way... An animal helping it's human friend get out of trouble...
The scenes where she cares for the kangaroo were touching.. Even when the kangaroo went home I cried like crazy... It touches on feelings that people experience when a good friend leaves..
I have fond memories of little Dot finding her way home and even after all these years, I still cry... Great little film, but it could have gotten better treatment on the DVD format...
Movie Review: Beware of the Ending!
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter loves kangaroos and so we thought this would be the perfect DVD for her. The story was okay, but the characters seemed flat. The voice of Dot was highly whiney and irritating! But the worst part was at the end, the kangaroo hops away while Dot is crying for her to come back! The end! Oh my gosh! My 6 year spent two nights straight sobbing into her pillow because she felt sad about the kangaroo! If your child is at all sensitive, I recommend watching it before having them watch. If you can sit through the whiney high pitched Dot!Movie Review: Gave Me Nightmares
Summary: 3 Stars
I watched this as a kid in the 80's and at the time I was confused by some parts and mostly scared. Growing up I have wondered if I will ever see this film ever again and WOW here it is on DVD. I think I will buy it but it may not be for every child out there as this darn flic still freaks me out and I am now 30 years old.Movie Review: Scary for little kids
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking at childhood nostalgia on Amazon when I came across this DVD. I am glad the review includes a warning about the bunyip. I am not joking when I say this movie TERRIFIED me as a kid. I remember watching it once on tv, and I have honestly had nightmares for years. It's not supposed to be a scary movie! Why it scared me so much I can't say, but it did. It even baffled my parents. But the bunyip still pops up in my nightmares to this day (I'm 27!) Many people love it, but I just caution that young children should be with a parent when they first watch it.
