2/5

Blinky Bill the koala (which first featured in a children's book in 1933) is given a thunderously bland computer-animated makeover.

Even the most sophisticated software can't give characters a sense of weight or a way of moving that suggests their personality. Nor can it create an engaging story.

3/5

Accompanying adults may notice that the plotting could be tighter and the animation could be more sophisticated, but at 87 minutes, Blinky at least knows when to say "Hooroo".

Animated Aussie adventure promotes teamwork, friendship.

The thing that makes us sit up and take notice here is the sheer Aussie-ness of the characters, as well as the strange and wondrous depiction of the Australian outback.

The animation isn't particularly sophisticated, but the ideas certainly are.

There are plenty of fairly amusing characters on offer and lots of undemanding incidental comedy that should work for kids if not adults

Slow and not engaging. Of all the recent children's movies, this had the least appeal. Weak story, and no connection with kids. Big disappointment.

Great movie, though I admit the animation can be clunky at times. The aussie theme gives it a very original spin. Like most kids movies the plot is predictable for older audiences. They did sneak in some jokes for the adults... but some of that I might be misinterpreting from Australian culture; still made me laugh :)
